Joe Jackson... Rest in Peace

This morning at 7:20 AM Joe Jackson passed away. Ever since our trip to PA Joe has been sick. We took him to the emergency vet last night. They gave him some fluids and a %50 chance of making it through the night. Eric was with him when he died this morning. We were able to bury him in a beautiful spot on my dad's land. I miss him terribly. Here are a few photos from his last week. Thanks for your prayers. Christmas with the Hernando family.

Advent

I remember my first time attending King's Chapel while visiting Eric's family during the christmas season. They started the service with an advent reading and lighting a candle. I leaned over to him and said, " I thought you said you went to an Assemblies of God church?" I had never experienced the whole advent thing. Now I am hooked! I love the whole concept....taking time every week or even every day to focus on the coming of Christ. I just found this awesome website that I wanted to share with you all. I truly hope that you enjoy it as much as I do. The Savior's birthday is coming! Following the Star

Let it snow!

Wow I feel good. I handed in my math final with confidence. I am done with my first semester of college. It feels so great. I am just one step closer to fulfilling my God dream. Just 2 more semesters and I can start the nursing program!
We did not get hit with the ice storm last week very badly..it mostly rained. But they are calling for snow tonight into tomorrow!!!! I can't wait I want lots of snow!

... Major ice storm possible late Saturday into Tuesday...

Conditions are becoming increasingly favorable for a major ice storm to develop across southeast Kansas and the western and
central Missouri Ozarks.

This is a direct quote taken from the National Weather Service.
Let me just remind you what it looked like in January when a storm like this came through.
