Wow, Im sorry it has taken me so long to get an update on here. I do have a blog now at www.vietnamjolea.blogspot.com which I post at very frequently. 2008 was an awesome year for our family. I have come to a point where I am at such peace. It seems like it just hit me one day, as well as Joey. Colt forever lives in our hearts and our memories. Although it has been 4 years the memories seem to stay so fresh, and I'm so thankful. I don't want to forget a thing. I can still hear his voice, I can hear him sing, because he was such a singer. He loved praise songs, and a little batman every now and then. Oh, and I will never forget his favorite "I fought the law and the law won." I actually have a recording of him singing it and I listen to it often. God has definitley brought Joey and I through a very difficult storm, but we held fast and it has only strengthened our faith, our relationship to each other, the way we parent our children, and just the way we look at life in general. Our God is a great God!

Before I go, I want to ask everyone to please be in prayer for a little boy named Nate. He is the son of a friend of mine who I went to highschool with. Several weeks ago he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He has had several complications and is in ICU at this time. He has began chemo, but his little body has not been able to flush the chemo out of system so the chemo has not been started again at this time. They are hoping to start again this week while he is in ICU to monitor the situation closely. Nate is 2 years old, but from what I hear he is a fighter, and his family are fighters. Their faith in God is amazing. So please take the time to pray for them, asking God for a miracle. Also, pray for the team of doctors who are taking care of Nate.
