Lynn, wow, that's a long time to wait to snowbird, but the reason is sweet! I remember your sweet experience w/ the church out there. I want to try them both, but hoping the one closest to my residence will be the one. There's one right in Henderson. So when I get there, I'll see the difference in the distance I'd have to travel, & try them, of course. I plan to get involved, so hoping for the closest one. When you do end up coming out again, I'd like to attend yours with you at least once.
Carole, plans for these dear people!! Jan and Raymond!! Thanks for your prayers about my move. There has been times of being overwhelmed, but when I run to GOD, oh my, time alone with Him makes all the difference in the world!!!!!
Lynn, about Lone Mountain being smaller, I really love smaller churches. I had stopped attending CCCM for the last 11/2 years because I couldn't afford the gas & needed a closer church. So I went to a church 5 mi away, an off shoot of CCCM. We all stayed connected and like family tho. 🙂 But it is a smaller church & way cozy & sweet & easy to love on & pray for others. Much easier to know of the needs of others!! Easier to be a whole family.
Roxie - You will find that the CC churches out there actually support each other, including Henderson. Unfortunately, Lone Mountain, which is my favorite, is in North Las Vegas and the farthest from Henderson. Pastor Jimmy is great, though. I also love their worship team. You can hear both of them online. The worship team at SV is okay but the lead singer is the son of the team's leader and he gets old, fast. I looked online at the Henderson one and they livestream, as well, so maybe I will check them out on Sunday. I miss a local church, but there is none that really is a good fit for me. There is one about 1/2 drive that I like, but all of their activities woul be much further away and that road is horrible in the winter. Online, for me, works well, although I do miss the get-togethers. Ike would go to church but the one I attended (which is the only one with contemporary music and non-liturgical), he did not like the pastor and would not go.
I have been praying for a solution and perhaps with my health issues, online is what I am supposed to be doing. There is one newer, smaller church that was started by the gal (who is a minister) who owns the consignment shop, which is itself a local ministry but it is comprised of a group of old people, like myself. Maybe I will try it. She keeps asking me.
Today is opening day of deer season and Bob has gotten two deer. We have not heard from anyone else yet, but the phone signal is really weak in the forest and Ike cannot text.
Have a beautiful day! 
Carole- Praying for Jan and Raymond.
My computer crashed and I can't believe how I depended on it for so much info.
I think about all of you often and pray you are doing well.
My daughter and 2 grandsons are living with us for a while. It's culture shock and joy mixed together.
When I get my computer back I hope to catch up on what everyone is doing!
Much love, Jan
Lynn, I'll be praying God leads you to the right church, but I agree with you, with your health issues right now, thank God for live stream!! 🙂
JAN!!! How GREAT to see your post!!! I scroll past old posts of yours and miss you so! May God bless your dear family in all the changes!!
Carole, prayers continue for Jan. 😞 Such a sad time!!

Good afternoon everyone!
Keeping all prayer requests.
It was 58 yesterday and it is now 34 and was snowing and blowing when I went to the road to get my mail and bring in the trash can. We had no wind damage here but am feeling so bad for those that had the tornadoes. To lose everything just before the holidays is so sad. I have had two house fires where everything was lost, except what was in the garage. I founds that 'stuff' really means nothing. My cat died in the first fire (I was not home but my first husband was) and that really hurt. Pets and people are really the only things that matter.
We had our power on and off last night so I filled the tub with water, put extra in the **bleep** and got the oil lamps together and called Ike to see where there was a lighter. The power stayed on an I did not need to use them, but better safe than sorry. Looks like this week is going to be a lot colder than last week.
Today is a PT day and I know it will feel so good. This treatment they use on my leg really makes a difference. The hot packs they use do not hurt either. I am also doing some exercises there to help the bat wings I have developed but exercise can only do so much. Another 18# and I will be at my goal weight.
Lynn, happy for you about your weight loss & PT! I so agree about "stuff"!! People & pets are the true treasures!
Carole, so happy you feel better!! I'm excited and emotional. I have the most wonderful friends out here, but I know God is leading this. I try to keep focused on the packing & all right because it will keep things running smoother. I have plenty of time to be excited later, lol! Prayers for your family about missing Ruth E. How awesome for her!! Prayers for Dr. Higgins!

Another chilly day here but at least the sun is out and it is not raining.
Have you read on FB that our Kathy is now a grandma? Just thought I would pass it on if you are not on her list. I still remember Cody and Cameron as two kids in that vintage pic she posted many years ago.
Have a most beautiful one!
Yes, I saw that Lynn, and thanks! I remember those "boys" too... "Them Bubbas!" Adorable baby!!!
