It’s always best to begin with the apologies. Or maybe that’s just for those of us who tend to drop the ball and have apologies to make. I’m really sorry it’s been so long since my last post. I will endeavor to do better. Rest assured that I intend to keep writing for the foreseeable future. The story is still interesting, Lisa still needs your prayers, and writing these things down seems to make a difference. It really pleases me to know that reading what I’ve written has meant enough to some of you that you’ve protested my dropping the ball. Thank you for hanging in there… assuming anyone still checks this site! I have to share with you a recent horoscope for Lisa; she’s a Cancer. Wow... I don’t think I can really add anything to that. But is the hair standing up on the back of your neck too? Over the last few weeks I’ve had Jake comment to me that he “just doesn’t recognize Mom”… in that case because she knew and advised him about motor oil. V2 wouldn’t have known that or connected about it. Friends have remarked at the astounding change in Lisa. Elise has commented at separate times but with equal surprise – first to me at an art exhibit she helped build that I was smiling, and then to Lisa and I at a separate gathering that we seemed really happy. Smiles and happiness were in desperately short supply at the end of V2… during the apex of the evil monkey’s reign. Speaking of evil monkeys… we’ve just passed through Halloween once again. Lisa and Jake and I made it out to the annual Halloween River Campout with our extended family of friends known as Camp Bayou Love – the group we met at Old Settler’s Music Festival, now a 20 year annual Powell family tradition. Unfortunately Elise and Zac had to work and missed the Halloween party. In recognition of Lisa’s recently cracked coconut, the Powell three in attendance were given the little river cabin and beds to sleep in, while all of our friends caught our first real taste of winter in their tents and trailers. God bless them, one and all! For years we were invited to the Halloween River Campout, but each year we would end up bailing at the last minute for lack of decent costumes. These people take their dressing up seriously. But this year, Lisa V3 took the bull by the horns. She got a little creative input from me and Jake before doing all of the procurement to make it happen. Then I get to do a small painting, and we have costumes for three! I’ll make you guess the theme… We had a really great time. Lisa’s recovery really is remarkable, but there is still healing and recovery that we are praying for. Important stuff. So please don’t stop! Please pray for Lisa. I know me too well to make any promises, but I will really try going forward to write a post every few days. Thank you for prodding me, and thank you for checking in after all of this time! If I’m going to take the time to write, it’s really nice to believe that there’s someone who will read it – and be glad that they did. Peace!
