Someone emailed me something from Joni Ames this morning, and when I went to her site to read it, Lo and behold, there you were!! YOU LOOK GREAT!!! Love your hair!! I saw all the pics you have on your site and cannot beleive how the kids have grown. I bet Nathan doesn't remember all those tater tots from McDs we ate together. LOL! I'm so glad to hear everyone is well. Where are you guys now? Where are you going to church? Are you still Pastors somewhere? I am still in Haleyville, working at Winston Furniture, and soon to be remarried to a wonderful man out of Russellville. All my kids have flown the coop except Matt, and he is looking for a place now. I have been doing the Praise and Worship for Bro Tommy and Sis Sandy Howard, at Faith Fellowship Church down Cherry Hill road, for a little over 2 yrs now, and love it. If you would like to see updated pics of me, the kids, and my fiance', you can go to my myspace page: myspace.com/winny_bet, and my email address is: winnybet04@yahoo.com. So, I just wanted to stop by and say 'HI!' I hope to hear from you soon. Much love, Betsy Lawler Hey!

The losses have been great and the gains have been costly. For me some of the lost relationships were actually only in my own perspective. When tried by the fire some were just turned to ash and didn't have the substance I had attributed to them. This also was a great loss in my life. The greater joy however: is this: in sifting through the ashes of 2008 I have found true friends among the cinders shining brightly and only refined by the intensity of the heat. You are one of the treasures, a trophy of grace. I am so glad you were born. I believe 2009 will be better for us all Mikki. The losses have been great and the gains have been costly.

Thanks for sharing because at Christmas it is so heart wrenching sometimes missing the loved ones that touched out hearts the most. My mom was "Mrs. Santa". I have those memories and then I have the ones I spent with Billy and Amanda for 29 years and all that is changed. It's hard to hear Faith Hill's song, "Where Are You Christmas" without falling apart but I know that God is using me in so many different ways to help others just like me. Know that I'm thinking of you and praying for you. We've both been through a rough year but I know that God has so much for us in the coming years. I love you, Dereise........
