Title

I hope everyone is still enjoying 2009! I am still writing 2008 on everything. It will probably take me till March to get it right. Exciting news. I finally found the camera I wanted and bought it! I picked out the Canon G10. With 14.7 megapixels, it is amazing! I am still learning how to use it, and I think it will take me awhile. I am having so much fun playing with it. I can't wait to put it to good use! I love taking outdoor pictures, so I will put some up here when I have them.

Earlier this week my Grandfather had a heart attack. I saw him last night for the first time since I was a freshman in high school. Even then, I just happened to see him at a funeral. I wouldn't have even known him if it weren't for my mother pointing him out. Earlier this week, I decided that I knew I wasn't going to have a relationship with him, but that I want to know that he has accepted Jesus as his saviour. The next day I was talking to my mother about everything and she said that he said that he became a Christian in the nursing home he has been in. He said he talked to the chaplain it. The doctors say right now that they can't do surgery on him so they are just trying to make him comfortable. He will probably be dismissed from the hospital in a few days. I have no idea how much longer he has.

I was so nervous last night going to see him. I was just praying that the Lord would give me strength. He didn't look good. He looked very sick. He was surprisingly nice. I don't know what I expected. For those wondering, he has always been in the area, I suppose he just never cared. I am just so thankful for a second chance in Heaven to have a relationship. Even if he hasn't been around, it is hard to dismiss him. It breaks my heart more for him than for myself. He has missed out on SO much in his life. He missed his children and grandchildren.

Praise the Lord he is now a child of God. That makes death not scary. I can have a reason to rejoice for him. ( I am not wishing him dead, the doctors just say he might not have much time) I will look forward to knowing him in Heaven. Just think about how many friends we will have in Heaven! Isn't that exciting? I am ready for it.
