thank you Robert!  oh and don't forget to follow up with DataPath!

anyway back to my favor...my Mom (Carol Lani) is set to fly to jacksonville fl. this tuesday to have surgury on her knee on wednesday.  she will be in the hospital till saturday recooping and then begins a three to four week rehab.  would you join me in prayer for #1 her safety while traveling to jksnville, #2 smooth surgery with no complications, #3 a speedy recovery and rehab.

you see unlike her (who is the most selfless person on the planet), i am selfish and want her to recover quickly so she can be here when baby arnett comes in this world (who is slated to become the world's #1 ranked player in the world in golf in 2028 overtaking Sir Tiger Eldgridge Woods who will still be #1 even though he will be 52.  trust me, he will be). 

this is my Mom...



i hope everyone has the most favor filled week of their lives this week.  if i can be in prayer for you on anything, please comment to this blog.  anything!
