Prayers Appreciated

It seems to be the time of stresses in our family. We have a history of December being a difficult month and this year is the same.

Cal had to have two of his teeth pulled, his eye teeth. The thought is, because one of those teeth didn't survive being knocked out, to pull them and move everything else forward. This is fine but it leaves him with a very unattractive smile for quite some time. This also comes during his basketball season which will probably have to end early.

The situation with the car is just a little stressful. We did OK with the insurance but quickly found out that we cannot "replace" the vehicle we had for what they paid us. We obviously got a great deal when we purchased the car originally. Now we are trying to find a car within our price range. The van that I want is probably not "the best" minvan on the market but it is what we can afford. Of course, Dante wants the best. I understand but we do have to live within our income.

I have to take the last week of December off, and of course because I am part time I don't get paid. Just what I need, a decrease in income.

If you could just keep our family in your prayers it would be appreciated.
