Isaiah Buck and other little thoughts

The Buck family has run into a bit of a glitch. It was planned to move Isaiah to a rehab facility in Boise, but now that facility has rejected Isaiah due to money issues (the insurance company doesn't want to pay) So they are trying to get him into a good facility and I am not sure what all the issues are with money, but they really need prayer so Isaiah can keep moving forward with good therapy. We know that God is our provider and we will pray and it will be interesting to see how God takes care of this!
Mr. Buck also has explained that Isaiah is still technically in a coma. I had been stuggling to understand how he could be doing so many things, yet still be in a coma. It turns out he does do things at times, but many times he does not respond at all to what they ask of him. They have reported the things that have excited them, like him squeezing a hand or whatever else...but there are many times Isaiah just sleeps. So he still needs so much prayer.............never ceasing....
The Lostine Tavern had a really great fundraiser last night for the families of the accident. There were people parked all up and down the street and crammed into the tavern for tacos and a pie auction. I heard the first pie went for $400.

I have been having some other thoughts lately about myself and my feelings about others. I have been thinking so logically! Sort of like Spoc, from Star trek.............I could work for the FBI! But a friend of mine got into a wee bit of trouble. And I have been wondering about my emotional lack of emotions...he he. Oh never mind...psychological stuff is so hard to explain. I'm not going there...................Suffice to say I pick and choose what goes on my shoulders and what doesn't. What is my problem and what isn't. And it is very freeing to be able to do that. The mother of this friend tried to lay a guilt trip on me...and I was able to say "stop...no. I had nothing to do with this" She might want to live her life feeling sick over things others do, but I won't. His decisions were HIS decisions.
Anyway, Bethany has my house a total mess as she packs boxes for the trip to Conneticut to be a nanny. What an amazing experience it will be for her!! I am very proud of her and I wish her all the best.
