As part of our determination to restore our health (especially mine), Gordon and I visited my brother and sister-in-law in Arlington, TX. The last time I was healed, it was Mike who had prayed for me. I didn’t stay healed that time, so, we decided to try again. Continue Reading »

New Year’s Resolutions
Jan 30th, 2010 by Gordon
Over the years, Karan and I have heard many preachers and ‘prophets’ state that this year is the year of….. (fill in the blank with any religious sounding term you choose); usually claiming that God has mysteriously revealed His plan for the year to them. Most of the time, we’ve not seen those proclamations come to pass. I’m not so sure that God actually determines some special plan for civilization each year. If that was the case, then God isn’t very capable of carrying out His plan. Continue Reading »

That wonderful song by Louis Armstrong that everyone loves. This version has some great slides with it. Continue Reading »
A new home for us
May 18th, 2009 by Karan
Over the past several weeks, Gordon and I have been arranging to move to a new active seniors apartment complex. First we had to get permission from the apartment we were in to move out before our lease expired. Then, Gordon had to pack everything and arrange for the movers. It all took about a month, but it is finally complete and we are in our new home.

Grandkids galore!
Apr 22nd, 2009 by Karan
I have 2 children by my first marriage, and Gordon has 7 from his first marriage, so my family expanded exponentially when I married Gordon. Since we married later in life, we did not have any of our own children, but we have a bunch of grandkids to enjoy! My children gave me 5 wonderful grandchildren, and Gordon’s kids have spun off 9 grandkids so far. Continue Reading »
My Brother, Ronnie
Apr 10th, 2009 by Karan
Monday, I received word that my brother Ronnie had died from complications of having a defibrillator implanted in his chest.
The memorial service was held at his home church in the Fort Worth area on Wednesday. It was a wonderful service, and of course, I saw many family members I hadn’t seen in years.
I’m happy that Ronnie is no longer suffering with poor health. And, his dream of building a rehab center is being pursued by my other brothers and Ronnie’s pastor.

I Love How You Love Me
Feb 23rd, 2009 by Karan
Another one of my favorite love songs, especially when it comes to the way Gordon loves me. I do love how he does that!
I love how your eyes close whenever you kiss me
And when I’m away from you, I love how you miss me
I love the way you always treat me tenderly
But, darling, most of all, I love how you love me
I love how your heart beats whenever I hold you
I love how you think of me without being told to
I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But, darling, most of all, I love how you love me
I love the way your touch is always heavenly
But, darling, most of all, I love how you love me
I love how you hug me
I love how you squeeze me, tease me, please me,
Love how you love me
I love how you love me (repeat)
In This Life
Feb 23rd, 2009 by Karan
This is one of my favorite songs by Colin Ray, and it quickly became one of Gordon’s as well:
For all I’ve been blessed with in this life
There was an emptiness in me
I was imprisoned by the power of gold
But one honest touch could set me free
Let the world stop turning
Let the sun stop burning
Let them tell me love’s not worth going through
If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered had come true
In this life, I was loved by you
For every mountain I have climbed
And every raging river crossed
You were the treasure that I’d longed to find
Without your love I would be lost
Let the world stop turning
Let the sun stop burning
Let them tell me love’s not worth going through
If it all falls apart
I will know deep in my heart
The only dream that mattered had come true
In this life, I was loved by you
A new ‘do’ for me
Jan 30th, 2009 by Karan
I finally got a new hairdo yesterday.
Because it is shorter, it will be easier to take care of. Not fancy, but I like it, at least for the time being.
