Hi everyone,
Sorry for not responding sooner.  I got a computer bug, and it took a
while to fix it.
It's gone now, and I'm back.
To answer Rhonda's question,
I'm only moving afew miles.  At this point, I haven't officially been
approved yet, and so I'm kind of concerned.  The other thing I've
noticed is that there's a seriously liberal bias at the place.  It
seems like this place will need a lot of   prayer.
I will be filing my appeal with the insurance company for my power
wheelchair.  Pray for favor, please.
God is so good, this will be a fun adventure.
I wish you all a blessed holiday, and a safe weekend.
In His Love,
Donna
