Last night, we had fun during family worship.  After Lauren got home from the bible study she was on with Stacy, and after Colton got home, we had family worship.  Well, after we studied in our new book, we used the Intro to God's Word to answer questions in the ministry.  EO was the householder and would as a question and we all took turns using the scriptures listed to answer his question.  It was actually a lot of fun.  Everyone seemed to get into the swing of it.  Near the end he asked a couple questions that weren't even on the list.  It really seemed to help us to see how we can use that section in the ministry and I think everyone is more comfortable now so we can use is easily. 

I woke up at about 5am with a KILLER headache... whoa it was a bad one.  I laid down and tried to focus on relaxing, as I know I can go to sleep with those kinds of headaches.  Sure enough I was doing better when I woke up but I had terrible pain on my face... It was so awful, it took a minute to figure out what was wrong, and then i realized I was laying on my rings.  It felt like I was peeling the rings out of my face.  I have never done that before and I do hope I never do it again.  OUCH!  I woke up just before 10am... crazy that I slept so late.  It must be the time of year or something.  I haven't been staying up real late.  I've gone to bed about 12am for years.  But instead of sleeping 8 hours like normal, I have been sleeping between 9-10 hours.  So strange.  Plus I have been sleeping pretty hard.  Well, the kids and EO have been sleeping longer as well.  Perhaps it is the stress we are all dealing with.  Although EO has been sleeping a little more, he isn't sleeping real solid.  But he never really does anyway.

I finished the book of Mark today.  right at the end 16:8, it says after Jesus spoke to Mary & Mary, they fled the tomb, trembling and overwhelmed with emotion... i burst out crying.  I guess I just pictured it that I was there with them and I really understood what they must have felt.  I have pictured this before so many times since i was a kid, but I never felt like I was there.  This time I could understand what they were feeling about what was happening.  It was pretty overwhelming. 

It is still a little trippy to listen to the reading while reading in the revised Bible.  Sometimes I just get confused or loose my place, but i find it really interesting.  So the pictures I have been posting, I have been getting from another sister.  But now, I don't want the quotes to be from the old bible, as I am trying to learn the new one.  So I am changing them if I can otherwise I am just making them myself.  So that is what I have been working on this week.  I have really been enjoying it.  I figure it will help me learn them faster.  I get kind of excited when I fine verses that haven't changed, but there aren't a lot that hasn't change.

I have no idea what all the plans are for today.  Steph is at work.  Lauren goes to work in a little while.  No clue what Colton is doing, he does go for his state test tomorrow.  And I know EO is going to be here today.  Things have gotten kind of messy around here the last couple days, so I think I will try to help EO put some stuff away.





*************UPDATE

Everything went well for Carol today.  The doc was surprised she could even breath as he removed 1.7 liters of fluid from her lung sac.  CRAZY.  He didn't remove any from her abdomen as there wasn't any significant build up.  So Carol is breathing much easier.  It has only been 10 days since the last time.  So I guess that once a week apt to remove the fluid will be needed.  I just can't get over how fast it is building up.  Well, at least she will be more comfortable for awhile.
