    @JusticeMom - I have having a lot of problems with my eyes. I have recurrent corneal erosions. It's painful and it makes my vision blurry. I have to work on a computer all day at work...and coming home and getting on Xanga has been an effort. Plus I've been sort of down in the dumps.....long story..

    It has been a long time since you have updated, and I have often wondered how you are doing ~ and then either I get busy, time runs out, or my memory lapses before I get to your site. I trust all is well with you, Elaine. I am praying for you just now. Love in Christ, Carolyn
