Today the UPS man came by to drop off a package and he was very upset when he heard the news about Michael. Whenever he would come by the house to make a delivery, Michael would always run outside (barefoot) across our gravel drive. The UPS man would always ask Michael, “Where are your shoes?”. Well, Michael is just like his momma in that area and the idea of shoes on the feet is a “bad thought”. Anyway, the UPS man came back later to bring both of the boys a gift. We can’t let you in on the surprise just yet, but mom will definitely be taking pictures and we will post them to this site when it all takes place. You never know how many lives you touch until something like this happens. Who would have ever thought that the UPS man would doing something very special for my boys during this time. Later Ramona Brown called to let me know she was bringing CiCi’s pizza to us. Now that was a blessing – since we can’t go out to CiCi’s she was sweet enough to bring it to us. “Sweet”…., that reminds me, Ramona also brought us those good cinnamon rolls from CiCi’s besides the yummy pizza. Anyway, we were just about finished with pizza when Dana McKnight and John Cephus from the Bible Baptist Church in Justin stopped by to visit with Michael. I think they heard that we had pizza delivered and thought they would stop in while out on visitation (just kidding). Anyway, they brought Michael some really nice gifts and then took time to pray with us before they left. Charlie Holt, one of our music friends, called to see about Michael also. He talked with Mickey on the phone and prayed for Michael. Charlie and his wife Mary attended almost every Gospel Singing that we organized, (Charlie is also one of the best guitar pickers we know).
