Rand said she has been shown how much heaven is beyond anything physical beings with their finite minds can imagine. Those on the other side describe a limitless afterlife filled with bright colors, golden buildings that soar into the sky, and gardens that never need tending, Rand explained. One child in spirit disclosed that heaven is more of a 'state of mind' than an actual place, she added."<br /><br />I will have to listen to it again when I'm fully awake.

I think it might have been for just a short while, maybe to quit the other stuff or maybe he just did it that day while we were out skiing. <br /><br />And you're right about you guys never having had much quality time together. The reason we spent so much time together is that we were either going to school, studying, teaching, writing a nursing curriculum or preparing the courses. And Bob was working and going to school. You guys were relay parents, you handed the parent baton off to one another while you were running. And the kids still got wonderful parenting. <br /><br />When that all settled down, you guys probably looked at one another and said...who are you?Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-24171487842709807782011-04-30T22:50:06.798-05:002011-04-30T22:50:06.798-05:00Good night all.Good night all.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-35243404467274240382011-04-30T22:48:39.865-05:002011-04-30T22:48:39.865-05:00We will see how this bag turns out before I post a...We will see how this bag turns out before I post a pic of it.

When we met he smoked cigs but gave those up at some time but then took up a pipe. It is funny that we were married 21 years and yet I don't have many memories of just him. We did not have much of a couple-life. So much of our time was spent parenting and building careers.

I think I might have even skied behind it once. I wasn't really in to putting a foot in the water even back then. I did a lot of it when I was a dumb kid and back in those days the toxins in the water were the most dangerous things.<br /><br />I remembered something else funny. I was sitting behind Bob in the boat and kept getting this brown stuff on the back of my arm. I mentioned that the water must be really dirty cuz it was staining my arm. He started laughing because those brown stains on my arm was the tobacco that Bob was spitting out and the wind was blowing it on my arm. He was into chewing tobacco back then.
