Just for you Becki

[Guest guest]

Becki,

I hate like anything to reply to your post because I have no cute

little phrases for you like " hang in there " or " cheer up " . I wish I

could just hug your neck. You have a load on you that a lot of

people can't fathom. I gave Abby a kiss for you like you told me

to. Also we prayed for you and will continue as I believe not only

is God in control but that he's not to blame for the bad stuff and

can be trusted. Check this out:

These two high school boys were talking at school one day and one was

trying to convince the other to go to the homecoming dance. " I will

NOT go. Everyone will laugh at my wooden eye. " " Aw c'mon!

Nobody'll laugh. It'll be dark anyway. " " No way. I refuse to be

humiliated in front of everyone. " And he walked home. Not giving up

his friend stopped by his house on the way to the dance and begged

him to go. Very reluctantly the boy agreed to go with the

understanding that he would not dance and would only stand in the

corner. At the dance his friend was on the floor with three and four

at a time having a blast. He kept after his friend to join him while

he stood in the corner by the punch bowl. While taking a break his

friend was again trying to get him to ask someone to dance. He

asked, " Isn't there a girl here that you'd like to dance

with? " " Well..... " he began " See that little chubby girl over in the

corner? " " Yes, what about her? " " Well, she's been staring at me all

night. " " Well then get your butt over there and ask her to dance you

idiot. " And he gave him a friendly push in the back. The boy quickly

shuffles over to the girl, gathered up his courage and stammered " Wu-

wu-wu-wu-wu-would you like to dance? " Elated the girl replied " OH,

WOULD I, WOULD I. " The boy backed up and yelled, " FATASS! FATASS! "

Do whatever you can to have a joyous Christmas Becki - no matter

where you are.

Love,

Joe
