What can we say?!?!? Even though our meetings are fewer and farther between, it is such a rich experience when we get together! Ms. Tracy has been sick with a cold as well as keeping her 3 grandchildren and is trying to get completely well and come up for air! Stand by for the next time we can hang out!!!! We are still needing to have that game night to learn Unstable Unicorns!!!
PHEW!!! Things in Ms. Tracy's world have been CRAZY lately! She is so sorry she hasn't communicated better! She is getting her head examined (literally) and her son and daughter-in-law just had a gorgeous new baby (#7 grandchild for the Sims), but THEN the new mom was diagnosed with cancer. Just *%!*!# .
It's been an amazing way for God to show that HE is God!! If you want to know more, come to GZ next Tuesday (Nov. 20th at Ms. Cindy's house to catch up and have movie night!!! In the meantime, keep Adam, Jessie and their delightful family in your prayers, please!!
Please try to come next week!! Because.................

Our lunch at Fuddruckers went great! Just as predicted, there was plenty of good food, good friends, and good times! The tally for the day is not yet known, but we think it helped us get past the $5000.00 mark in our fund raising!!! If so, we only need to work on raising another $1300.00 to have the total needed!
Thanks for all the support from everyone at Grace Life, to Fuddruckers for making this possible and for the expert collectors of receipts (Kirk and Kylie)!

There were Apples flying everywhere in our Apples to Apples games this past Tuesday! A great time was had by all and it was wonderful the way everyone welcomed our new visitors! It was great to meet you Paige and Kyle, you are a great addition to the GZ bunch! The only thing that could compete with the game was the great discussion you all had about Grace. Miraculous!
There was a great discussion one Tuesday - about so many things. We continue to see how Jesus is in EVERYTHING!!! So, remember, when things seem hard and you think everything is falling apart, just remember LAMININ! He holds you together!!! And if that doesn't seem possible, maybe you need a little "Gospel According to Krispy Kreme" because you might just need an up-close experience with the Real Deal!

APRIL'S GZ - KAYAKING AT THE LAKE!
When we arrived at Lake Allatoona this past Sunday to kayak, we weren't all convinced we would like it. Well, we went, we kayaked and the jury is back with it's verdict. It is unanimous, WE LOVED IT!!!!!! If you couldn't make it, you missed a great time! A special thanks to Mr. David Farmer for supplying his time and kayaks for the adventure and to Roberta, Mr. Bruce, Carmen, and Anthony Meadows for being our role models. You rock!
