to the
House of Mercy

Hi there! I am so happy that you have come to call. I would get up to greet you, but I can't
walk. I spend my days in a power chair and my nights in a hospital bed. It has been a
very long winter. I don't have snow chains on my chair. We got more snow this year
than we have since I was a child. Please don't feel sorry for me. I have so many blessings
that the bad things just don't stand out.
I have a disease called lupus. It attacks the connective tissues in the body. It has caused
rheumatoid arthritis, chronic emphysema, heart problems, and liver disease so far. I have
to learn to walk all over again. I get very impatient. I am now able to take about 20 very
shaky steps.

I have both physical and occupational therapist who come to my home. They
are going to make sure I walk again. LOL If I like it or not. I would have to be crazy not to
want to walk. The pain when I walk is complete. I say complete because it completely
surrounds me and pulsates through every nerve in my body.
This is a quote from the Eldest. It explains what it's like to be me.
Pain is "The Obliterator" because when you are in pain,
nothing else can exist. Not thought, not emotion, only
the drive to escape the pain. When it is strong enough,
the Obliterator strips us of everything that makes us
who we are, until we are reduced to creatures less than
animals, creatures with a single desire and goal; ESCAPE
The Eldest pg 401 Author Christopher Paolini

The main pages to visit on my site are the Christian Pages.
I have five grandchildren. Four of them live here with me. My youngest daughter and her
husband take care of me. I could not ask for a better Family. You can see
them by clicking on Family.
I also have a dog and seventeen birds. You can check the critters out on my Pets pages. I used to write a lot of
Poetry. I seldom do now though. You can read a few of my pieces by clicking on Poetry. I received a few awards
while I was in College.You can
view those by clicking on college. If you would like to meet my family that has gone on
before me click on Memorials.

When I first started this website I told God that it was for His glory not mine. I got a little
carried away with what I wanted and not what God wanted. I mean to change that. I will
slowly be giving the site back to God. I say slowly because I am going to redecorate the
entire site.
I have signed up to rejoin the Site Fights. Other than Christian top sites, this will be my
only competition. Before I got sick I was in about 6 different competitions and spending
about 7 hours a day just voting. I won't be doing that again.
