Jim's Place

News and Update

I know it's been way too long since I've blogged, but it has been a combination of laziness and not really having much to say. However, now I do have some things to say (I'm still lazy).

First, anyone who attended the Going Home Celebration for Becky will tell you what a great "event" it was. I thank God for Becky and her family and will keep them in my prayers. It is amazing how many lives Becky touched. She will be greatly missed, but I am thrilled that she is in the presence of her (and my) savior.

We have finally discovered what was causing Lucy's hearing "problem." (Jenna, at least I put the apostrophes in the right place.) Believe it or not, her allergies were causing the intense pain during the services we were attending. Her allergies act up severely whenever the weather gets rainy (that does happen here quite a bit), when the pollen in in the air and many more things. That explains why some weeks it was worse than others. Finding the cause is the good news. The bad news is that she is allergic to all antihistimines that could help. So, after much thought and prayer we came to the realization that the only solution is to move to a place where she didn't have the allergies (I think many people would agree that Tallahassee almost seems like the allergy capital of the world).

We have decided to move to El Paso, TX. We lived there from 1997-1999 and there really isn't anything there to be allergic to. :) In fact, its annual rainfall is 8 inches (that's right--8 inches a year!). I think we can get that here in a bad weekend.

The other kind of good news (only "kind of" because it will be temporary) is that since we now know that allergies are causing the hearing problem and not specifically the acoustics in the Joy Dome we will be back at NBC starting this Sunday until we move. Todd even said I was welcome to show up at ROC again.

I guess that's about it for now. Hopefully, it won't be as long until my next blog.
