wonderful, brisk breeze with cool temps = lazy, take your time and play day...
soaking up as much as we can because later this week they are calling for hundred degree days and that means inside for me...
saying goodbye to Charlie...
Please pray for a family who lost a wonderful man in their life last night. His name was Charlie and he had a heart attack, was gone for over 30 minutes and they revived him. Scan showed no brain function, so the family had to make the choice of unhooking him on Saturday afternoon. He was 55-60, our guess, but the family is so close and the love so great, their pain is going to be massive as they go through the motions the rest of the week with visitation and the funeral. His wife is Ramona and his daughters are Stephanie and Charla. Charla used to babysit for us when the kids were not quite to that age where you can leave them alone and they had great times with her and her family on Friday nights when we bowled in league. Charlie never met a stranger and always seemed happy go lucky anytime you would run into him. Always a tease with a great sense of humor and a little mischief twinkle in his eye. I am sure he lifted Jesus robe as soon as he got in the gate just for laughs. He will be so missed by the whole town. It sure is Heaven's gain and I am so glad that he was called home soon and didn't have to suffer.
so, get out there and enjoy today...
we may not have tomorrow...
