Well, I know it's been awile..........don't all my posts start like this? However, I am giving an update on my father-in-law, Thomas. For those of you who don't know, he fell from a 20 ft. ledge (cliff) in Caprock Canyons on January 3rd, 2009. Since then he has suffered from pulmonary imbolisms, stroke, multiple surgeries, colostomy, c-def infection, ongoing wounds, coma, etc. I guess I should say, "he has survived............." Because that really is what he has done. For someone who has gone thru so much, which in itself is life-threatening, Thomas has survived them all. This leads our family to believe that Thomas is due for a FULL-BLOW MIRACLE! You know the kind in the Bible. You know like when dead men get up and walk!
Recently, my mother-in-law has decided to put him in a Skilled Nursing Home. Thomas' medicare is running low (imagine that) and he can't come home and be cared for the best. We found a Skilled Nursing home which is supposed to give him rehab while caring for him. But here is what our family needs: PRAYER--PRAYER--PRAYER!!
WE WANT THOMAS TO BE HEALED!!! WE WANT ALL THOSE PRAYER WARRIORS OUT THERE TO GET ON THEIR ARMOUR AND KNEEL DOWN, HOLD HANDS AND PRAY! WE WANT A MIRACLE!! We are done waiting for "what is going to happen." We want and need action!!
"...Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:24
"...If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." Matthew 21:22.
"...Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them. " Matthew 18:19-20
I could go on and on about prayer and scripture but then I would take up the whole blog. So you know what I want...........
Please friends and family, pray for a miracle for THOMAS LESTER. We need and want him back! We know that God has different kind of miracles but this is the one we are asking for. If His miracle is for Thomas to go be with Him in heaven, we understand but we want action!!
Thank you for your prayer, support, love and understanding.
Looking for a miracle on earth to boggle the minds of all doctors,
Amy

I'm back!
Wednesday, July 29, 2009Well I'm back and it's only been 3 months. Yes, I know that is a long time for all you serious bloggers, but for me it's just 3 months of soccer games, piano recitals and church camps.
Why am I back you ask? Well in the last 3 weeks, I have been at a writing institute my school district requires of all teachers. This writing institute has caused me to learn how to write again. To tap into old memories long forgotten. To hone my skills, to get rid of "be verbs, to correct my grammar and to love to write again
I've written about my son's love for his Spiderman Costume. I've written about my daughter's delicate fart noises. I've written about the decision to have kids and to buy a minivan. I have written about Thomas' fall. I have written and written and written (proud dad moment).
This class reminded me that I am a writer. Maybe not by trade, but within me lies the heart of a writer (another proud dad moment). I can remember at an early age that I always thought I was going to write children's books. I never have written children's books but the idea seems much more like a reality than ever before.
This blog is not going to be about "be verbs" or grammar or honing my skills, but I hope you enjoy it just the same. Hopefully it won't be 3 months before you see me again.
ENJOY!!

Finally Back!!
Monday, October 27, 2008Man, it seems so long ago that I actually had a chance to sit down and post a blog. Although it was just one month ago, so much happens in the Lester life. As some of you may know, we took a trip to San Antonio with our friends the Ruiz' and their kids. After two days at Sea World, a trip thru the Alamo and several walks down the River Walk, we had to come home. Dumb jobs!! We love San Antonio and Sea World and seems we always go back about every two years. Kurt and Jeremy had a lot of fun waking up early and finding the best Mexican diner to have breakfast in while Missy and I enjoyed sleeping in and waiting for them to come back with the destination. The boys and Darby had a lot of fun running between the "adjoining" rooms and swimming in the hotel pool, even when it was sprinkling. For breakfast one day, we took the trolley to the Market Center and ate at Mi Tiera. Kurt (I mean, we) love Mexican food and Kurt even got he nerve to eat authentic Menudo. Jeremy grew up on it and told him this was "the place" to eat Menudo, so Jeremy gobbled up a huge bowl and Kurt managed to eat about a half a bowl then a GI-Normous plate of enchiladas, and everything else you can imagine. (I bet my dad's mouth is watering as he reads this.) Anyway, we had lots of fun and the best laugh for Missy and I was when we took Jake and Alek thru the "Scare Zone" at Sea World unbeknownst to them. When all the people were dressed up as zombies, ghosts, vampires, and bloody wolves, Jake took off running like a track star in the Olympics about to win the GOLD. The look on his face was priceless and I couldn't stop laughing for about 10 minutes. He truly does NOT like scary costumes or anything that looks nasty and gross. Well enjoy the pics, while I help Darby make a bat cave...................
