David Spears

My friend David Spears passed away this past Sunday. For those of you who don't know his story, he was in a car wreck a little over 3 years ago which caused him to spend a number of months in intensive care and then to be wheelchair bound. He has been in and out of the hospital and therapy since and last week was once again admitted to the hospital with seizures. He went to be with the Lord on Sunday afternoon and the funeral was held today. My deepest condoleces go to the family that he leaves behind him. I only wish I could have made it down to be there with y'all in this time of sorrow.
Please pray with me for his family, who have spent so much of the last 3 years of their lives taking care of David, as they go through this difficult time.

Love and prayer

4 hours. That was my sleep time last night. 5 hours the night before and 6 or less every other night this week. Do you think that is why I'm tired? Coffee is my friend folks. Work has been going ok. Its not very exciting stuff and I don't think I"ll be learning much this semester, but I'm getting some pretty long hours and making money so I guess I shouldn't complain. But then again I'm tired and grumpy so I can use that as an excuse. I pretty much stand around and do nothing all day long except write a few things down and keep an eye on the work to make sure everyone is doing what they are supposed to do. Rather boring...Especially if there is no one around to talk to or its raining and I'm standing there getting wet or when I only get 4 hours of sleep and almost fall asleep standing up. On a positive note: Coffee is my friend.

hmmm...What else is going on in my life? Not too much actually. I get home from work, make supper check my emails talk for a while and then go to bed. The place I am staying at is working out very well. My landlord is Ryan Kidd and he is a great guy to be renting from. The atmosphere here is very good although the food my Chinese roommate like to cook sometimes doesn't exactly smell like food, but overall I am having a really good experience so far.

you'll have to excuse any errors or idiocies (yes that is a word ...I was excited for a minute there cause I thought I invented a new word) wow that was mean...I can't believe I just said that about myself, but anyways, I'm going to claim that they are due to sleep deprivation although you probably won't believe me. So since this post seems to be getting progressively worse and I don't seem to have anything to say I'll just stop talking and bid you all a fond adieu.

Bed Time!
