LIFE IN JOHNS WORLD

Hello my blogger friends, sorry for not writing in a while.For the most part Life has been good.Let me go back a little.In March a long time friend from Church lost her battle to cancer. She was only 46. A Mother of three and leaving behind a husband who was her High School sweetheart.It was very difficul to see the Family at Church mourning a great loss.  I can say that Irene kept her Faith til the end.She always believed God would heal her from cancer.  HE DID..... just not in a physical way.He gave her a new body and I believe without a doubt shes walking on streets of Gold in Heaven.                            I titled this blog to say this..."It shouldnt take a Funeral to have a Reunion" At the funeral I ran into A Mother and daughter who have been long time friends of mine.We attended the same Church for over 15 years.We worked on the Newsletter together and did Childrens Ministry together.But when...

Well it has been awhile since I blogged. Let me back track. November 13th I had dental work done.I had to have several teeth extracted.I was awake through the procedure.I did alot of praying.Ive been needing this done for several years.My dental insurance finally approved it.It was very painful.I had to have several teeth capped or replaced and they did a great job,.Me being only 48 is young but I had to have several teeth worked on . The follow days were very difficult I was in a lot of pain. It was very challenging. I wanted to have my dental work done in time for a big family weekend for Christmas.I had a hard time with the pain at first. It took me an hour to eat a plate of food.Over time and determination I finally began to heal..And now I feel much better about my appearance and learned how to smile.Thank God for helping me through this.                        Also I've been helping my co worker care for her husband he...

Her voice was a little weak"Im Florence!!!" "Florence its me John,I took care of your husband years ago" I heard the door and  unlock and there stood Florence Littlejohn,She looked the same,just a little older she stood 4 feet tall,"Oh my my come in,I remember you,Your the only one my Lawerence liked and didnt fire,You stayed three days so I could attend my neices wedding and that was back in 1995"Wow, her memory of me was sharp,It made...
