Hi friends!
I'm writing this today, not for myself for an old family friend and his family, Rodney Lamfers, who went home to our Heavenly Father last night at 11:00 pm. I believe I've asked to keep him in your prayers before, but if not here is a link to get familiar with him and his family. I have to believe that God is in control, and Rodney is no longer in pain or suffering, but my heart aches for this wife who has lost the love of her life, and the 3 little girls who have lost their daddy. I think of my own family, and can't even begin to imagine the heart break they must be feeling. I was reading some scripture last night and Deuteronomy 33:27 was put out there for me, and now I know why....it gave me some peace when I heard of Rodney's passing...." The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms".
My daughter Kaitlyn and I are flying up to Sioux Center to visit my Mom for a long weekend. She has been ill with pneumonia, and has been in the hospital. Not sure how much I'll be able to care for her, so we'll let my sister Sherri be the boss. Wait...we're going to my Mom's, no one is the boss except her. I'm still having good days and bad days, but I'm alive and I have a very loving, caring family around me.
Thank you for all your support, and all your prayers. I know the Lamfer's family will appreciate them too!

Happy 4th of July!
Wow, hard to believe it's already July 4th! Some days feel like they can never end, yet when you realize that we're already half way into the year.....Wow!
It's very hot in Texas this time of year, so we're very thankful for our pool. Hate to admit, that I'm not able to sit out there like I used to. In the past I could lay in the pool for hours and play with the kids, but now, it's about an hour and I'm ready to sit my bottom in the air conditioned house, than in the pool. I don't want to blame it on age, but will use my illness to cover it up.
Speaking of illness, I'm hanging in there. Some days are really good, no nausea, no spasms, and food is good, but unfortunately I'm still having those days where life is pretty tough. I'm trying different medicine concoctions to see if any improvements can be made. Unfortunately, Gastric Dumping Syndrome will not correct it's self, so hopefully we can figure out meds to help, or we may have to defer to surgery. But, as I've told them from the start, I'm not physically or emotionally ready for another surgery. So...here we are, in a trial and error mode. I'm thanking God for the good days, though.
I do have couple prayer request, one for my Mom. She is still battling her Pneumonia, she is gaining some strength, but I know this took more out of her than she will admit. My other prayer request is for our daughter Kaitlyn. She was in the ER last about a week and half ago for what they're calling a ruptured Ovarian cyst, and Mecenteric Adenitis (inflammation of pelvic lymph nodes). She's only 14 years old, and my prayer is that this will not be an ongoing problem. She's in the process of follow up Dr. appointments, so we hope to have more answers in the next few days. Yes, there is not a dull moment in the Zeigler house hold.
We hope you are all doing well, and will have a wonderful 4th of July! Thank you to all those in the service who fight for our freedom everyday!! God Bless America!!
