Pray Today!


Today, my Grandma Billie is having surgery. Eight years ago, she successfully battled ovarian cancer. The battle was horrible, but she is an unbelievable warrior, and she is ready to fight again. We visited her in Tulsa on Wednesday. She is in good spirits. Thank goodness, she has a God who she knows loves her and will be with her every step of the way. If you happen to read this, please join me in praying for my grandma today.

Cedar Point!!!

A friend told me years ago about a great amusement park near their home. We'd never heard of Cedar Point, and quite honestly, no one we told about our vacation plans to Ohio had ever heard of it either. What began as just a stop along the way to "our real vacation", a Cleveland Indians game, Cedar Point quickly took top billing on places the Patersons love to visit in Ohio! We've visited twice as a family, in 2001 and 2002. Cedar Point isn't a place we compare to Disney, it's definitely in a different class. Cedar Point is an "amusement park", built around 17 roller coasters!! This morning, very early, Darryl and Braden took off for Sandusky...and Blake, Bren and I are home. Bummer!! BigTime! I am happy that Bren was so excited to be chosen to participate in the school talent show, that we decided only Daddy and Braden would go on the "Senior Trip", but boy, I wish we were going too. And, I HATE ROLLER COASTERS!! They'd better take lots of pictures or this is going to be one sad mom!!
