The NIGH****CHMAN - Tuesday 8/18

Good afternoon all.

First, I would like everyone to keep the family of Elizabeth Dunford in their prayers.  She was just 2 years old and went to join the Lord.  She hurts no more, but that does not make it any easier on the family.  When my brother passed away (he was 45 at the time), my mother was devistated.  She just could not come to grips with it.  Her statement was that a parent should not have to bury a child.  With time and prayers, she is better now.  But it is never easy.

Got some good sleep today after being really ill last night.  But it passed just as quick as it came on.  Just fine right now.  Ready to watch Big Brother and listen to the Rangers game at the same time.

Anonymous prayers for the friend of a TMBer, who is very troubled at this time.  I have been in touch with the TMBer and prayers are still needed.

Prayer requests are listed below.

Also, please feel free to just visit here.  Tell us about how your day went.  Your successes.  Your failures.  Your fun.  Whatever.  When I post this thread, I do not have access to any chat programs, so this sometimes substitute as that vessel for me.

Continue to keep your thoughts and prayers for the members of our Armed Forces serving around the world, especially during this time of increased awareness.  Please thank God for these men and women every day.  In addition, please keep the wives and family members in your thoughts.

Hiya George!
Coming to ya live from my nifty new laptop while sitting out at the soccer field!  Woohoo!!

Excited because we were given a couple Ranger tickets for Sept 2nd and I was able to get a few more across the aisle seats we already have so the whole family can go to the game!  Not only that, but they are Lower HR porch seats AND the ones I got just happen to be on sale if you call and ask for the Southwest special price....$10 each!!!  Can't beat that with a bat!  It will be autograph Wednesday AND $1 hotdog night so the kids will be thrilled.

You'll know....how early should we get there on autograph night?  Think MY Pudgie will be playin' by then???

Prayers for baby Elizabeth's family and friends and for the abducted police officer from Katy.  I hope there's a peacful resolve there and soon!

Lines for the autographs start forming as soon as the gates open.  They open to the public at 5PM.  Three players come out at 5:45 to sign.  When you walk in the gate there will be a sign as to what players are signing.  You pick the one you want and get in their line. 

Where will your seats be?  What section?  I will be there that  night.  My seats are in section 211, but I will not be sitting there.  I will be sitting with my friends in section 341.

George,

Thank you for including me in your prayer list. And I'm also praying for others and especially for Elizabeth's family. 

Be Blessed,

Nannette

we'll be in section 6/7...split seats, same row with the aisle dividing us.  Should be a lot of fun!

Wear your sunscreen.  That area is in direct sun until about the 2nd or 3rd inning.

Evening George,

Had a great day, but I am sooooo tired.   Going to get this posted and go hit the pillows..  after I fix my lunch and snacks for tomorrow, and get the coffee pot prepped for the morning.

Day 2 of job, still liking it very much, after 2 days of training, I have some ideas on streamlining some procedures, still evaluating everything, I'm sure there will be more.  Solved a problem for the owner, (that always makes you look good!)  and they are wonderful people to work with. DD called last night (she's at her dads) already whining about having to ride the bus to school from my house...  already lining up privileges that will go, if the whining continues.... 

Prayers for all of the spoken and unspoken requests.  Prayers for those who are hurting tonight for what ever reason.  Special comforting prayers for the Dunford family, may God continue to surround you with His comfort, peace, grace and mercy, also prayers for all of Elizabeth Grace's friends.  This special girl touched a lot of people, prayers of comfort to all.  Special prayers for Nanetteb's surgery tomorrow, may you have a complication free surgery and recovery.  Please have someone let us know how you are doing after your surgery.

Blessings to all,
Avis

Did you look at Elizabeth's guestbook?  People from all over had her in their prayers.

Hey George! And ALL TMB members! How I've missed yall!

I had been on a three month stall and got pretty down about it, and picked some bad habits back up...I go see my surgeon tomorrow, and I also have a renewed will to fight!!!! I'm upping the water, nixing the occasional "guilty pleasure" soda, and going back to the no liquids 30 minutes before during and after... *smack my hand if you must!!!

I just would like prayers for strength and determination, and anyone who wants to get on my back and also check in with me from time to time, or heck, every day would be great. I NEED accountability...

Thanks everyone!!!

I signed it last evening, I haven't had a chance to look today.  I have no doubt in my mind that that precious child touched hearts all over the world!  I know she definately has a piece of mine!
