Latest Re-cap

Things have been busy around the Morrison household. Chris' lacrosse season has started. He is playing varsity and jv. The varsity team is 3-0. The JV team lost their first game. They shouldn't feel too bad though. Many of the players have never played lacrosse before, including Chris. Thankfully his staph almost gone and it doesn't look like it will scar.

Katie had her basketball banquet at Stars and Strikes on Sunday. She had a great time seeing the new friends she made playing this season. She also got the best offensive player award. She really came along way this season and is going to now play in a league that will play through the spring and summer. She also got her progress report this week and has all A's and 1 B. She is so proud of herself and her grades:)

I went to visit my parents on Sat. My mom was having a really good day. She was much more alert and was trying to participate in the conversation. They now have people coming to help them 2 or 3 days a week, which has been a great help for my dad.

While I was in Ellijay I was looking at the newspaper from my hometown. My parents still get the weekly paper and I always like to look at it when I am there to see if I see anyone I know. As I was looking at it I saw a headline that said James Morrison. Of course it caught my eye. I started reading it and realized it was about Mike's dad. He died 2 weeks ago. Mike and his dad have not spoken for 16 years and he had no idea his dad had died. It was the weirdest thing to read that in my hometown paper. Mike was very shocked, to say the least. But, I know it was a "God thing" for him to find out. It has really brought back some old things that he is finally dealing with. In fact, he is going to give his testimony at church Sunday, so say a little prayer for him. God is at work and God is good:)
