FAMILY FOCUS... (Sacrifices Must Be Made!)

WOW! I'd love to start off this Family Focus with a 'Declaration' of how GREAT everything is going in the Barrett Fam - however... it seems like I always have that one PERSISTENT prayer request that I'm asking ALL my Friends & Family to continue PRAYING for - GINGER!! We sure could use your PRAYERS in regards to her health! Those KIDNEY STONES are really causing CONSTANT & NAGGING PAIN that just doesn't seem to be subsiding! It looks as if there is one or two or three (who knows?) that are causing some blockage and that creates PAIN that NEVER ENDS! She is really struggling emotionally and we need some INTERCESSORY PRAYERS from some of our 'Mountain Movers' out there! She is going to be able to take a bit of a break this next week - and my prayer is that she can get some REST & PEACE during that sabbatical!

Kiddos are doing AWESOME! The boys just finished SPRING BREAK week & we had some fun spending time together for sure!

Isaac & Daddy did a couple AM BREAKFAST's @ The Duke - followed by some moments of MALE-BONDING on the Driving Range! That KID has got a knack for GOLF for sure - maybe that's HIS GAME!?

Caleb enjoyed doing what he does best - DESTROYING HIS BED! For those of you who know - he is "8" now - but with his Special Needs we still have to keep him somewhat confined at night - so he's still in his original CRIB - which is now held together by 23 SUPER-Heavy Weight Zip Ties & 3 Rolls of Duct Tape! (MacGyver would be PROUD!) My Uncles (Dan & Denny) are in the process as we speak in constructing him a NEW & IMPROVED (SAFETY-PROOFED) BED - which will be very much welcomed!

Charis - SHE ROCKS MY FACE OFF! Love that smile - that giggle - that wiggle & that style!

Last weekend - I was able to take a couple days & head to PALM SPRING for a CHURCH-PLANT Fundraiser & Indian Wells Golf Resort (LG Skins Game is held there) - sponsored by our Regional Conference - Converge Southwest! A pair of 85's were held in tact through both rounds and that's not too bad when those GREENS (Oh... those GREENS!?!?) - a TWO-PUTT is Spectacular! What can I say... SACRIFICES MUST BE MADE!!

(Hope you enjoy the FOLLOW-THROUGH look - PARRED this Hole!)
