The Dawsons go to Washington

John Will's Uncle Bob Dawson was buried at Arlington National Cemetery this past Tuesday Feb. 21st. So, we went to Washington D.C. over the long Presidents Day weekend.  We went with JW's parents and his sister Gini and her family. We had a great trip. This is what Uncle Bob wanted. All the family to meet in D.C. and be able to enjoy a family vacation. I think he would have been happy. 

The weather cooperated and was sunny and cool most days which was great because we walked everywhere. I am planning to do another post when I can get all my pictures and blogger to cooperate. This is the second time I have typed out this post. More pictures to come soon....

Sweet Sara Walker

http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/sarawalker

If you don't know the story of sweet Sara Walker, then keep reading. She is a 34 yr old mother and wife. She has two precious boys and one beautiful little girl (Anna) already in heaven because she was (full term) stillborn. About a month after Anna was born, Sara found out she had colon cancer. She has chronicled her story on her Caringbridge site which I have included a link to above. Her life is a testimony to the love of Jesus Christ. Grab a cup of coffee and start reading at the beginning. Your life will never be the same after reading her journal. I felt a strange connection to Sara the very first time I heard about her story. I have gotten to know her and have fallen in love with her along with the rest of the world.

Please keep her in your prayers as she continues to fight for complete healing and also continues to spread the Gospel. I am convinced she will someday be a household name! She plans to continue to write and spread the good news of our Lord and Savior in a big way!
