The Dark Knight (Before)

Tomorrow night, 07/24/2008, I am going to see The Dark Knight in IMAX.  I will post a review afterwards.  

Belle Schmidlin

I know I have not written a blog in over a year.  So many things have happened.

I started and completed my first year of teaching as a band director, attended concerts, and many other things.

In this blog I want to give my respects to 2 people who have recently gone home to Jesus.

The first is Baby Cate Cantrell who after a fruitful 7 months of life was called home to Jesus after her fight with a heart defect.  More info on her struggle and prayer chain can be found through the link I provided on her name.

The next person I want to talk about is my Grandmother, Belle Schmidlin.  She passed away last Wednesday, June 16, 2008.  She lived a long life and was 82 years old.  I will have my memories of my Grandma forever with me and I will be writing a personal essay about my memories of her shortly.  I will post my essay of memories of her once I complete it.  I'm going to spend a bit of time on it and try to dig really deep into my memory bank for any memories I have that I want to share.

I know anyone who reads this will want to share their sympathy with me.  Believe me when I say that I am at peace with my Grandma's passing.  It was her time and Jesus has prepared a place for her.

As for Baby Cate, I cannot even begin to imagine what all the Cantrell's are going through.  I read their blog daily and devoted many hours of Adoration for Baby Cate as many people across the nation did.  Though the outcome was not what we hoped, God's plan is greater than all of us and Cate's time here with us will be a blessing written down in the history books of all who knew her or prayed for her.

I think I'm seriously going to start blogging again.  But until my next post, keep the people I mentioned in this post in your prayers.

God bless
