Everyone,
I did not know how much loosing my sister would mean to me because I had not ever thought of it hapening until it did! I always thought I would be the first because I was the oldest. It feels like a part of me is missing but I can not replace it? The numbness almost seems to protect me from dissolving, It has brought intense feelings of loneliness and emptiness with the hole left in my life. On the other hand we were not real close for a lot of our adult lives as we each had our own life that was totally seperate. Now I remember things as children that I had not thought about for years. A sibling has been much tougher than my Mother or Father.
Carole,
I was the oldest I protected my sister. Because we had grown apart over the years I did not think about how much a part of my being was also a part with her? Expecially because I have remembered so many things that I had not thought about for so many years.
Roy - I am sorry that you are missing your sister. You will see her again and things will continue on in a more beautiful place. There is a time for everything, including a time to mourn. God tells us this in Ecclesiates. I try to remind myself of this, which is why this became my signature quite some time ago.
Regarding the rainbow......I am familiar with the Biblical mentions of the rainbow and God's promise. What I was referring to was that the gay and lesbian folk have chosen the rainbow as their signature. So, these days, if you put out a rainbow flag or whatever, it would mean that either you are gay or are showing support for their causes.
There was a beautiful double one at Melanie's the other day. The rainbow is always a beautiful thing to see.
Lynn,
That is a beautiful rainbow.Did you take it by your home?
I did not know gays have chosen a rainbow as their symbol!
Good morning everyone!
Roy - Yep. That is the current meaning of the rainbow. I think they picked it to accept all people.
T & J - I did not take that pic. I have already seen the most beautiful rainbow possible. Many years ago I was driving just south of here and it was farmland, so the sky was unobstructed. On the right side, all was sunny and bright and on the l left, it was jet black, with a huge-centered neon rainbow. It looked as though someone had painted it in glowing colors on black velvet. People were pulling over just to gaze at it. I have seen lots of them since, but I do not think I will ever see one like this again. Happy to hear you enjoyed your trip. We all need to get away from time-to-time.
Not much new here. Got the light-up pumpkins in the window and the Porch Kids on the front porch. Need to dust before putting the few Halloween decorations I have for inside.
The computer tells me it is 38 out there and when I got up the ground was white with frost. Brrrrrr. I am glad I have moved my PT sessions from 12:15 to 3:15.
Have a most beautiful day! 
Welcome lifeisagift! Thanks for your input! I love that scripture, but I agree with Roy. "Where two or more are gathered in My name..." 🙂
Lynn, those are great pictures of some special kids!! They look healthy & happy!
Carole, thanks for your prayers & I'll be praying for your friends! 🙂
Roy, going to look at Barbara's site now.

I did it again! Missed posts!
Roy, I know what you mean! I lost my sister in 1990. I still miss her!! Bless your heart!!
Lynn, beautiful rainbow! God gave us the rainbow to remember His promise. 🙂 At Pastor Chucks Paddle Out Memorial, God sent a rainbow that touched down in the middle of the crowd, then later moved out to cover over the whole crowd. Amazing and miraculous!
Carole, prayers for Shellie's business!

Diane - Thank you. I had not even thought about the colors individually. This seems to be a fairly accurate description of the how's and why's of how the whole rainbow thing got started for this purpose. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag_(LGBT_movement) I will still see it myself as a gift from God.
Computer says it is 34 here now. Brrrrrr! I have changed my PT appointments to 3:15pm so I do not have to go out as early.
Have a most beautiful and blessed day.
Ok Diane, back to praying for your eye! 🙂
Lynn, thanks for that scripture in Genesis about the rainbow.
John, I kept missing posting to you when I last posted. I was in a hurry & trying to multitask. It doesn't work for me. But so happy your trip was such a blessing to you!!!
Roy, I read your sister's obituary. She was born not far from where Carole now lives. Isn't it strange how all our past memories come forth to our hearts & memories when someone passes!! Somehow, life is never the same again. I appreciate my loved ones more & have more of an interest in heaven. 🙂

Good morning everyone!
I love this song. We really have nothing to worry about. We know what awaits us in the end.
Please say a little prayer for the friends and family of Mattie. I heard that she killed herself last week. She was 45. She was not really a friend but I have known her for over 26 years.
I know I have said that I think we have a high suicide rate in our area and while Melanie and I were on the phone the other day, she looked it up and our county is by far #1 in my state and followed closely by surrounding counties. So sad........
Keeping prayer requests.
Have a most beautiful day.
