Last Sunday

Last Sunday Bro. Fraley allowed the congregation to speak on Sis. Fraley's behalf. Everyone who chose to say a few words on how Sis Fraley impacted their life really showed what a wonderful person she was. Each person had their own story from her prayers, how she would call them down if they weren't doing what God had lead them too, all the shoes she wore in our church, and how she ministered to our families and so many more. I shared a few things but the one i will share with you is how she and of course Bro. Fraley ministered to my mom. A month before my mom passed away she had a stroke that put her in the hospital for a couple of days. During her time in the hospital Bro. and Sis. Fraley visited her and b/f they left she give her heart to God wholeheartly!!! During that last month of her life here on earth the girls and I would go to the Fraley's and swim 1 or 2 times a week. Everytime I would go, moma would go and just sit with sis Fraley, asking her questions and or just talking. Sis Fraley didn't have to sit in the heat to talk with her but that was a ministry and my mom grew in God in a short time b/c of it. B/c the Fraley's went to the hospital and b/c sis Fraley took the time with my mom they are in Heaven together today. It was quite emotional for me but I did okay. Kristen also wrote something down for me to read b/c she was too shy to get up there and say it herself. Basically it just stated that she was special and everyone loved her. She went to camp and helped them thru situations as she put it. Sis Fraley wouldn't want us to be sad, but happy. She loved and missed her. I thought it was very sweet and I read hers first so i would relax enough to say what i had to say.

Ball Playing

Katie Bug out in the Field looking pretty
She is finally making contact with the ball!
She made it all the way home on that hit!
Kristen refuses to wear her hair in a ponytail so Joseph found her a pink and black doo-rag to wear to keep her hair out of her face.
She is an awesome ball player, she makes contact everytime up to bat.

Speedy Gonzalas!!!!

Just wanted to share a few pictures i got the other night at the girls games. Kristen made awesome plays but i missed all of them b/c i couldn't coach and take pictures, I kept forgetting to take pictures. Katie's team has improved greatly, they actually played good defense and hit the ball, which is a complete 180 turn around from the first couple of games. Kristen's team did okay in the first couple of innings, but began to make a few mistakes that cost them the game in the last two innings. Kristen caught everything that come to her and she got alot of action that game, i was very proud of her. Actually one of the other parents made a comment on what a good player she was. I claimed her that night!!!!

Crawfish Boil

No need to explain the first picture!! Well we had our second crawfish boil this past weekend. Boy it was even better than the first b/c well for one thing they were cheaper this weekend than Easter weekend, but it was also a pretty day. Boy they were good!!!

The second picture is of Joseph cleaning his new motorcycle, He and Jimmy alway ride together and so he had to get it cleaned up for their ride that night.

The next picture is Hunter paying Kristen back for shooting everybody else all day. She finally got sat down leaving us alone and Hunter got her.

Katie bug learned how to peel crawfish this weekend and caught on quick. She become a pro!!!

Kristen learned that sucking the heads isn't that bad.

DJ is with Jolee in this picture. D.J wasn't around much so i didn't get many pictures of her.

The last picture is Jolee!!! The picture says it all!! From the shirt to the boots this girl is a character. She wears those John deere boots everywhere but to church and then she wears her "up heels" to us that is high heels. She steals the party everywhere she goes.

All in all we had a great time of fellowship!!!!

Swollen MS and Other stuff

This is the Vidalia Dock which is right beside the old West bank Eatery!

The RV park that is located on the river

Joseph Standing on the riverwalk, you can see how high the river is.

The seating down on the riverwalk, which has been taken over by the river.

Just thought i would post a few pictures i took at the river yesterday. For those of you who aren't from around this area, the River is at 55.3 feet and expected to rise to 56.5 by April 20th. It is suposed to crest April 20th but that could change (it has several times to get to this point).

Sis Fraley's funeral service was the most beautiful service i have ever attended. But for a woman who lead a life such as she, what else would i expect. It was standing room only!! She made a huge impact on so many people's lives. After the funeral service bro Fraley took her back to their hometown in TX for a burial service in which he said that there were approximately 150 people waiting there. How amazing is that.

Bro Fraley come back home with his daughter and preached Sunday morning and evening. He did an amazing job! Next Sunday morning the congregation will have an opportunity to share something about Sis Fraley. I will be sharing something, praying i can get thru it without too many tears. Please continue to pray for Bro Fraley!

Saturday Kristen and Katie both had games all day. Kristen's team did a pretty good job, but they are overthrowing so much. Kristen did a good job with her hitting but didn't have many defense plays. Katie, well i think she is out there just to be pretty, b/c she isn't doing anything else.

Sis. Fraley

Yesterday evening, Sis Fraley, our pastors wife passed away ( they think from an anurism or a blood clot) She was completely healthy and it was unexpected to say the least.. we are all still so in shock from it.She was simply put an amazing woman of God. She did so much for so many people. she held everything together.We lost a huge part of our hearts last night.I know that without a doubt she is rejoicing right now, but Bro. Fraley, her family, and our church family need all of your prayers.This should be a wake up call to everyone. You never ever know when your time is up. I know that Sis Fraley was ready and I have peace about where she is.But its time we understand that this world is temporary, things of this world are temporary including our bodies. Sis Fraley left huge shoes to be filled and it's going to take a lot to fill them. I can only hope that I can be half of the woman that she was for God. Sis Fraley will be greatly missed..Please keep Bro Fraley, their family, and our church in your prayers..GOD BLESS

On the Go!!!

Softball Season has officially begun! Kristen's first game was last night and the girls did excellent. Misti (head coach) and I were really concerned b/c we have a really young team. We won 15-2!!! Kristen went 3 for 3 with 2 singles and one double. She really is a good ball player when she wants to be. Katie will play tonight and we will see how they do.
