Tuesday and it's a good day Considering my eye injury, not being able to go home for the Easter holiday and having to reschedule other appointments,
I did indeed survive the weekend. Last night the ebay auction for Bud's seed cleaner ended and we were pleased with a
little bit of profit from that experience. Now, we have Mace's Billet Speciality wheels listed, ending on saturday evening.
Hopefully we will have a nice experience there as well.
Today I made my last of the series of eye appointments
at my new found Eye specialist. The Eye Group in Knoxville have proven to be more than the average professional group.
New to the area and on a holiday weekend? How was I going to find someone to see me? I googled "eye dr. knoxville"
and this was one of the websites that came up in my search. I do believe God led me right to them. Dr. Lain was extremely
patient and through. Even Bud was impressed! Yesterday I saw Dr. Lain's partner, Dr. Manning, who was as kind and professional
as Dr. Lain. Should anyone wish to contact them I would recommend it! Their website can be found on my page of links here
on my website. just go to my back porch and click on "Links".
I was hoping to have good news
to share by now but my injury has delayed some appointments I had set up, and then other issues seem to keep causing other
delays. It's been my experience that when God is in something, Satan gets mad and starts throwing junks in our path. well,
YEA! this gives me only encouragement that I'm heading in the right direction! This also increases our faith and keeps
us humbled. God eventually will step in and Kick ol Satan to the curb and we can proceed. So, keep checking back, good news
is still pending!

Change of weekend plans Sometimes such a small event will change
one's course completely. We don't always understand why such things happen but we must always trust that God
is control.
During friday's storm I was carrying in an armload of wood for the fireplace,
lightening crashed, I jumped, wood came up, poking my eye. urgent care Dr. said I scraped most of the membrain off, large
laceration of the cornea. Went to the eye Dr. saturday morning and he put a contact lens patch on my cornea
and some drops for the pain. Urgent care Friday night gave me antibotic drops and pain med. It's been an extremely
painful experience but I think the worse is over. Sight still fuzzy, difficult to read. Not able to make it home for Easter
which has me really down. But thankfully, No longterm eye damage.
And just before I was poking my eyeball out, My daughter was dancing with a tornado that hit Murfreesboro!
Thankfully she, hubby, and the children are ok! But she did see the tornado while she was in route home from picking up little
Brycey-Bug. She had both children with her and was heading home, saw the tornado, was near city hall which has a lower level
parking area so she dipped into it and waited out the storm. According
to Tabi, Ryleigh was asking why was God doing this? Tabi told her that this was just weather and weather just happened. Ryleigh
said, "yes, but God can stop it, why doesn't he?" such innocent little faith. According to Ryleigh, "Mommy's lips were trembling and her whole body was shaking cause she could
see the tornado in her rearview mirror." I asked Ryleigh if she was scared and she flatly said, "Nope, I didn't
see it." appears she's a bit braver now that the storm was passed. oh,
and Ryleigh informed me that if I would come to her house she would fix me a cold icepack for my eye and give me a popsicle.
I think she would make a great nurse! :)
Friday's events seem most fitting for it is indeed remembered
as a most turbulant day. The day Christ died on the Cross for our sins. But there is GOOD NEWS! He rose on the 3rd day!!!
And as sad as Friday was, sheer joy comes with this morning!!! the morning he arose!!! The Real reason for Easter is not for
easter bunnies and egg hunts, but the day Christ rose from the grave. On this Easter Sunday as I am not able to make my planned
trip home for the family gathering, I am reminded that the reason for the season is Christ gave it all for me. For that I
am ever so humbled. Happy Easter everyone!

Good Friday- My best friend died for me today.It's Good Friday and a somber day to remember Christ gave the utmost for us on this day. This morning here in my little
neighborhood a thunderstorm rolled through. As the thunder rolled and the lightening crashed it made me think of how it was
on that orignal Good Friday when God turned his face from the horrific sight before him. It was a most turbulant point in
time. And even then, with all that they did to Christ they couldn't make him not love them. "Forgive them, for they
know not what they do." were his words during such pain. And he loved me too that day. Most humbling realization. Seems my website is an ongoing machine that changes shape often with my updates and additions. Today I've added
several more of my favorite links to the links page. Look for LINKS on my back porch. I've also arranged a bit on the
front porch (Home) to be easier to access. My website design adventure came in handy recently as good friends
from back home had a horrible incident to happen to their son. Need for posting information and updates became easier with
the creation of a website for them. you can find it at www.tyturner.info . my prayers continue to be with this family. We've decided to sell our Vintage Seed Cleaner. Bud bought
it from my parents' neighbor with intentions of using it to upgrade from the small one he already has. Due to other avenues
of interest taking a greater part of his time now, he's elected to offer the Seed Cleaner to someone who might need it
more. we've posted it on ebay with the auction ending on Monday evening. Info can be found by clicking on the photo of
the Cleaner on my front porch. Lastly, I'm extremely excited about tomorrow!!! I request your prayers that
God's guidance and leadership orgastrate my day as I pursue my dreams. I hope to be able to announce some very
large news in the very near future! Happy Good Friday! Denise

Excitement building It's been a wonderful day. Started out with an awesome sunrise. The sun was peaking out from behind a passing
cloud and the rays were reaching out in all directions.
Enjoyed having lunch with an old classmate.
Sometimes we wonder where did time go??? Time has been good to my friend. she doesn't look any older than she did in school.
Me? my Miles seem to have racked up. :)
I am excited that I've narrowed down my search for "The"
CD for my Warm Hugs for Dark Nights gift boxes. Hopefully I will be able to make the announcement soon!I
feel very passionate about this new product and the addition of a CD that seems to be created just for it is very thrilling
for me.
