Our family and church family had some really sad news today. Our former pastor, Jim Forman, passed away this morning :( He lives in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Just over a year ago, his wife, Katherine Forman passed away. It was so sudden, his death. I mean he seemed fine just a few days ago. My mom was talking about him. He was feeling stomach pains, last I heard, and they took him to the hospital after it got worse. Hospital kept him there...then all the sudden this morning, they called my mom and told her he passed. That was such sad news! You know, I never really saw eye to eye on things with this man. He and I had a few bad arguments (one really bad time in particular) when he was pastor here back in 2000, but I Always had respect for him as a pastor. Any man who takes on the job of preaching God's word, deserves the utmost respect. After a while, things settled between us and I didn't hold anything against him. He left our church back in 2002 I believe it was. His wife, Katherine, got really close with our family especially my mom. It was sad when she passed. My mom was devastated. They kept in constant touch over the phone and facebook. Well, the one comfort that we all have is that now he's back with his wife. He was missing her ever since she passed and to know they're together again, that brings comfort to everyone, especially their family. So that's the positive in this sadness.
But to Jim, I say "I will miss you Mr. Foreman. I know we had our bad experiences in the past, but I do take some of the blame in that and I'm very sorry. I've always respected you as a pastor and I've thought of you and your family as part of mine, especially our church family. Thank you for the time you were here and the time you took to pastor our church. The whole church has great wonderful memories of you and your family helping out. We shall miss you and we shall Never forget you. As long as we're around, your memory as well as Katherine's memory, will live forever! Vaya Con Dios, my friend."
Well the pain in my foot was still there when I woke up this morning! Darn, I hate this!! I really want to walk, but my heel is really bothering me. I don't know what the hell I did to it. Feels like shock going up my foot when I put pressure down on my right foot. So, another day of rest. I mean, don't get me wrong it's nice to take a break and not have to go out there and do 3 or 6 miles, but when I don't do it, I feel like I'm doing something really bad lol. I've been hard at it since April 29th. But, it's because of that that I feel confident and I know that I will continue my exercises once my foot feels better.
Well my foot may have been hurting, but I didn't just hang out inside though. I got out there and did some stuff today. After so long of wanting to do this, I finally did it! I tore down the ceiling in my storage room, I cut out half of Cooper's pen and pulled some of those tposts out, and I gathered all the trash from the storage as well as sweeping it out and makin it look nice in there. I also put up my back gate to my property and got it set to where I can open my back road entrance to my property. I have been wanting to do this since September, but hadn't really got the chance. So today, since I'm sidelined because of my foot, I went out there and worked, getting my exercise in another form.
I went out there right after Lisa went to work at 2:30. I was out there until 7 tonight. It was cold, but I was working so hard that I didn't notice it. My yard is lookin really nice now! Still some work to do tomorrow but I'll let Lisa help out with that since she's off. My heel was really acting up tonight. Mom and Dad invited me over for dinner tonight, so I headed over there after getting my fire started. Busy busy, but it felt good to work today. Ok now, I'm beat and ready for bed. Goodnight!
