Or should I just act like I always call him Gob, as if that's just a personal name between Him and me?JAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04272374108524693575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36846651.post-18852515797304317332007-08-30T07:30:00.000-07:002007-08-30T07:30:00.000-07:00Best wishes to your friends.

And that's a great story about y'alls situation there and how you were able to stay near family.<BR/><BR/>I don't know what has always compelled me to move away. I never liked my hometown much, though the people there are wonderful. Even as a boy, I dreamt of, and knew that I would move away. I had no idea how far, but I wanted away from that town.<BR/><BR/>My older sister is like you. The thought of moving farther than an hour or two from family, well, she just couldn't even imagine it. Consequently she's still there in town, just a mile or so from our mother. A couple of years ago my younger brother moved back there from having lived in North Carolina for 10 years.<BR/><BR/>I'm the only hold-out, but my heart is still the same. I love the people, and visit when I can, but moving back there? Probably not. (I've learned the hard way over the years to never say never.)<BR/><BR/>I'd certainly go back if Gob led us there, but he would probably have to pull out some pretty serious strong-arm tactics for me to be clear on the message though.JAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04272374108524693575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36846651.post-48705767975603965472007-08-27T08:58:00.000-07:002007-08-27T08:58:00.000-07:00Being near family is the top on my list.

I hope that Kilkina and her husband are able to find a location and job that fits them well. In the end, everything does work out because you are right - He holds the future, and He will always take care of us.Crissybughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453930237461358884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36846651.post-70445354501416084492007-08-27T07:55:00.000-07:002007-08-27T07:55:00.000-07:00That is awesome!

Donnie and I both felt that it was time to move back home near our families, but we did not have a clue how we could do it because Donnie was a War Game Simulation expert, and there is NOTHING in MN for him in that field. There were some Military Intell stuff in Wisconsin and Missouri, but not really what he wanted. <BR/>I found a job in Minneapolis for him to apply at, and they happened to be interviewing while we were on vacation in Minnesota! Hows that for a God thing?<BR/>They offered him the job, but we turned it down because he would not leave his work with only 2 weeks notice. <BR/>But later they called him back for another position, and it was perfect! <BR/>He's been there 6 years, and it is great pay and benefits, though Donnie doesn't like the work, he is good at it. <BR/><BR/>Guess what happened last night? I went to a friend's to wash my diapers and she had told another friend that I was coming and why, and that friend has a washer I can have! I totally forgot she has a couple of washers in her garage that are just sitting there. <BR/>God is good! And I thank you for your sweet words and support.Qtpies7https://www.blogger.com/profile/04612364762900912663noreply@blogger.com
