Michelle, I hope this works. You know as an ol’ gal I’m learning all the NEW tech stuff. It’s easy for my grandkids, but me….not so much. God is faithful to point me in the right direction and send people who can teach me. I’m thankful that God placed you and your family in our lives. HE IS MY ALL….my song (even if it’s a tad off-key) in the night seasons. k

Okay, I just read Friday’s newspaper article. I was dying laughing! I remember when Brother Lowery sunk his mower in the pond. We have laughed about that so many times. I can just see you flying through your yard and popping wheelies!! HA HA You’re a keeper and an overgrown yard is NOT going to get you thrown out or talked about! So relax, and chill!! Get you some sweet tea and sit outside and enjoy what you have planted thus far!! Blessings! LOVE YA!

Man, this was the hardest thing to log in with the password thing! I’m pretty good at the computer but I had to reset my password like 3 or 4 times before it worked. Its a little tricky to say the least!!!
Anyway, I want you to know that although we have never met I have listened to you on the radio for years. I have followed you thru and cried with and for you when your son was in Iraq and that helicopter was shot down. I was so afraid for you. I followed Lowery’s cancer, J.J.’s accident, etc… It feels like I am part of your family and I don’t even know a one of you! That’s God tho. He’ll use any and every circumstance to draw his children together. Right now I am reading “The Shack” and I recomend that you read it too. I almost lost my 23 year old son to an automobile accident this past summer and it really woke me up to a lot of things. GOD & I got really, really close. I had to ask Him to hold me quite a few times because I did not know how I was going to get thru it. I felt like everything was like in slow motion and not really happening. After all, I thought, how could this be happening to me? My son had a drug problem and I did not know how bad it really was until he stayed out all nite partying and drinking and doing his drugs and then on his way home like a block from my house he fell asleep going 85 MPH and flipped his truck. He was thrown free but the drs told us that he had brain injury and his brain stem was damaged. We were given very little hope of him coming out of the coma even. To put a long story short after a week of being in a coma and 3 weeks in ICU he was moved to Methodist Rehab in Jackson. He know walks, talks, rides my bike, eats like a pig and is the most loving son a mother could want. No, he is not 100% but his life has changed radically. He died and saw God and angels and knows now that he did wrong. he can’t remember that past 2 years of his life but that’s ok. they were not that good to remember anyways! I(and him) have been given a second chance and I intend to cherish every moment. Thank you, Kandi, for your geniune love of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May God richly bless you!!!!!!!!! -
God is faithful y’all…I’m so thankful that your son has been restored to you…our concept of wholeness and God’s are often very different, but He knows our best and thank God that life has changed and maybe with all your son has been through God erased the bad and will bring good memories for you and for him. I have the Shack and the ladies group at Bel Aire did a book review on it. Thank you for praying for my family…continue to pray for JJ and Mel. He’s better,but as you know “suddenlies” can sure change your life.
Have a Jesus Filled Day

I wish I could have done a study with ”
The Shack”. I have gotten to the part of his letting go of the anger of his little girl dying such a horrible death. I think this author really opens up w/things that most of us humans think about but are afraid to say out loud. I did as the man did-asking God to take me instead of his daughter. I don’t remember a lot of the first few days in ICU but I do remember pleading w/God to take me as I felt like I had lived my life and I wanted John to have the life I thought he deserved. I can hardly read this book cause I cry constantly. Either I’m getting too old w/my emotions or something!! If you get a chance to check out John’s caring bridge site please do. Its http://www.caringbridge.com/visit/johncookjr. Also under links theres a fellow listed there named Dustin Reese that we met in Jackson. His daddy passed away after his accident and his mom has had to cope with almost losing her son and losing her husband all at the same time. She has kept the faith, tho! She is truly remarkable.
Thanks again for your strength and encouragement! God bless you! Jeannie

hi kandi - what a delight to see you have a blog on the web. you have been an inspiration to me for several years now, I’ve had the privilege of hearing your husband preach a few times, and actually got to visit your ss class those times also. my prayers are with you through this season without Bro. Lawry. Also, I did not know your son’s helicopter had been shot down. Is he alright? My mom passed away unexpectely in October, (she had also heard you speak), but I have found that His Grace truly is sufficient even through great loss. Bless you. mmj
