Greetings!

I haven't posted on here in such a long time. There is so much to share.

As some of you know, my dad's esophagus ruptured on April 29th. According to the doctors my dad should have died on April 29th, but God had different plans. After Dad had surgery to repair his esophagus, hed was in a coma for two weeks. When they removed his breathing tube and gave him a tracheotomy, my dad slowly began to come out of the coma.

Very slowly my dad made small improvements day after day. First he was moved to a rehabilitation hospital; then, he was moved to another facility until he was recovered enough to come home. On July 6th, my dad came home. :-)

Below you see all but one of my children (1 was sick.) with their signs to welcome Grampy home. "Praise the LORD" is all that can be said.

You can see the cut on my dad's head in the picture below - just days before he came home, he fell and hit his head. He had to get quite a few stitches, but he is fine now. We were so thankful that did not delay his release to come home.

My dad preached again for the first time since surgery on September 13th. This is truly amazing. A few weeks later, my parents left to visit some churches, and my dad resumed preaching. My dad continued to have issues with nausea. Come to find out, he needed to have his gall bladder removed. He had that removed on Tuesday while they were in Virginia. Then on Saturday he preached in Maryland. He preached three more times on Sunday, and he is feeling tremendously well now! His appetite has even returned.

During the time my dad was in the hospital, my husband was laid off from his job. It was a tough summer, but God has been good to provide for bills to be paid. My husband is now in training as a manager at the Shack (Radio Shack's new name). We will be very excited when the training is completed, etc... There is some light at the end of the tunnel now.

On a VERY good note, my son participated in the first National Bible Bee in September. He placed in the top 100 for his age category, so we will be going to the national competition in Washington DC in November. He is studying very diligently, and he has a good chance of placing in one of the top spots. If he wins first place, he will be able to get braces soon, and the rest will be in a scholarship for college! What really amazes me is that he learned all of these verses while my dad was in the hospital and my husband was unemployed. This has not been my doing at all. It is God's working in a disciplined boy's life!

Please pray for my son that God will use His Word to work in his life, and that perhaps he will win!

As far as couponing goes... I have some catching up to do. I need to do some clipping and filing, but I am headed back into the pile of coupons! lol I am not sure where my blog is headed, but we are starting to get back into some routine at our house, so hopefully you will see more posts between now and the end of the year.

Please rejoice with us over all the LORD has done in our family over the past few months.

"The LORD has done great things for us, whereof we are glad!"

Happy Shopping!

Update on my dad...

2009-05-05T01:16:00.003-04:00

I have a caring bridge page for my dad. I may not always get an update in here. www.caringbridge.org/visit/lincroxton

Here is tonight's update though--

Overall Dad is the same as he has been all weekend. The doctors read the numbers from bloodwork and other tests and say that there is slight improvement, but it is slower than what they would like to see.

Dad had dialysis today, and they removed 9 pounds of fluid from his body in the process. I don't know how significant this is, but they say that this is good. They will begin dialysis again between 7:30 and 8:30 tomorrow morning. The swelling in Dad's face was a little lower than it had been as a result of the dialysis.

The surgeon who patched Dad's esophagus said that there is fluid in the right chest cavity now. They are going to look tomorrow to see if it has increased. They may place a chest tube on the right side of his chest also.

Dad did have a fever of 100.2 tonight, and that could be just from the dialysis. The nurses are checking all of the ports going into his body. They want to be careful as he fights infection that nothing more is introduced in that area. This is the key issue in dad's recovery - infection in his body. If the only thing you pray for concerning his physical healing is the infection you will be affecting nearly every other area of his body's trouble.

Thank you so much to all of you who have visited my dad. Mom said she overheard the nurses commenting about how many visits Dad has received. We pray that this will be used to reach those who are watching each day. His nurse tonight is Megan, and she is Jewish. She is great, and we pray that the LORD will do a mighty work in her heart. She is a blessing to us.

We have taken a portable cd player to Dad's room where it is playing all day and night as long as they don't need the outlet for something else. (It takes 6 batteries - C or D...I'll have to check again!) We are keeping Take Up Your Cross by John Zimmer playing. This is Dad's favorite cd. Below are the lyrics to Bow the Knee which John sings. Let it work in your heart tonight...

There are moments on our journey following the LORD
Where God illuminates each step we take.
There are times when circumstances make perfect sense to us,
As we try to understand each move He makes.
When the path grows dim and our questions have no answers, turn to Him.

Bow the knee; Trust the heart of your Father when the answer goes beyond what you can see.
Bow the knee; Lift your eyes toward heaven and believe the One who holds eternity.
And when you don't understand the purpose of His plan,
In the presence of the King, bow the knee.

There are days when clouds surround us, and the rain begins to fall,
The cold and lonely winds won't cease to blow.
And there seems to be no reason for the suffering we feel;
We are tempted to believe God does not know.
When the storms arise, don't forget we live by faith and not by sight.

Bow the knee; Trust the heart of your Father when the answer goes beyond what you can see.
Bow the knee; Lift your eyes toward heaven and believe the One who holds eternity.
And when you don't understand the purpose of His plan,
In the presence of the King, bow the knee.

We love you all, and we are thankful for your care to us at this time. Please remember my sister-in-law, Debbie, as she deals with all of this while Calvin is in Iraq AND her own mother's death is impending.

My Dad....please pray!

2009-05-01T18:22:00.002-04:00

I was going to try to get back to blogging this week, but it will have to wait a little longer. My father is very unexpectedly in ICU here in SC. It took about 24 hours to finally reach an accurate diagnosis, but he has an esophageal rupture. If they would have taken 12 more hours to perform surgery his chance of survival would have been only 10%. Of course, his survival is not left up to chance; we know God is in control. My dad is in grave condition. Right now he is sedated and not alert, and he is breathing by way of a respirator. The doctors will remove the respirator if possible at the end of the weekend. It appears that he will be in ICU for a minimum of 10 days, and possibly longer.

Please pray for him. His name is Lin Croxton. He is supposed to be preaching in several different churches over the next 10 weeks, so this affects a lot of people in other areas also. Thank you! Praise the LORD that the doctors were able to diagnose my dad's real problem before it was too late!

Hiatus

2009-03-15T18:45:00.003-04:00

I am needing to take a hiatus from blogging. There are some things that I see in my daily life that need to change. One of those is my time on the computer vs. my time taking care of my family and house. I am working on setting some new norms in our home. I am not sure at this point how long I will be taking a break from my blog. If you need help or want to know about current sales and you know me in real life, feel free to call me. I also welcome your e-mails at "my_blogs" at hotmail (dot) com.

Also I will leave my printable coupon links here, so that you can print coupons at any time.

Gillette Fusion Gamer (Power) razor "review"

2009-03-09T10:12:00.004-04:00

I finally got around to getting the Gillette Fusion razor this past week. My husband came out from getting ready for church yesterday and said, "These have to be the best disposable razors I've ever used. If you have a coupon for replacement cartridges be sure to get them."

Tonight he brought home some coupons from a friend at church. (I was home with our recovering sick ones.) He was sure to point out to me that there is a $4 coupon for the cartridges in the inserts. :-)

You will want to try these if you haven't already.

Walgreens has both the power and manual version for $8.99 this week (ending March 14, 2009). Use the $4 coupon AND get $4 Register Rewards back. Final Price after coupon and register rewards = 99 cents

Nearly Free Johnson's body care Lotion/Body Wash

At Walgreens today I found 2 ounce Johnson's body care Lotion (Body Wash also available) for 99 cents.
Use the $1 coupon from the 2/22 Red Plum insert.
Practically free...

Why do I say practically free? Walgreens will not adjust the price or coupon total, so...I bought 9 tubes of lotion, and used 8 coupons. Final Price = 91 cents for all 9 tubes.

You could also buy two, and use one coupon...making your final price 98 cents for 2 tubes (49 cents each). These would be great to add to a little gift basket for your daughters or granddaughters for Easter.

Special Prayer Request

2009-02-24T22:47:00.002-05:00

Please pray for a friend of mine. She is a sweet Christian lady with a wonderful family. She is also a fellow homeschooler. Last year she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had treatment, and the cancer was supposed to be gone. Within the last few weeks they have found that her cancer is back and VERY aggressive. She has had surgery to place a rod in her arm to keep it from breaking, and she started radiation yesterday. Her daughter told me today that she is not feeling well at all from the treatment. They are exploring some alternative treatments and desire God's leading in whatever they do.

Please pray for Linda, Ed, and their five children.

Our church family is such a blessing. They will be providing meals for this dear family every day. Just this weekend 30+ people signed up to bring them a meal. The choir also collected food for them yesterday. We have a very loving and supportive church.

Sick again...

2009-02-24T20:59:00.003-05:00

I'm sorry to have been missing for several days, as well as being hit-or-miss with my posts last week. We have had sickness off and on most of last week. Right now my 12 yo and my 15 mo are sick with a virus. I am not used to having higher fevers at my house, so this one has been different for me. I felt like a new mom with all my questions this weekend. We will be taking the "baby" to the doctor tomorrow. Anyway! I am getting the kids into bed, and I will try to come post about Walgreens tonight.

My husband just stopped at Bi-Lo on the way home. I was on the phone with him when he went in. I heard him saying, "Thank you" several times, and he sounded really happy. I asked him what happened. He said they had a cake made for the Super Bowl, and they decided to give it to the next person that walked in the door rather than throw it out....My husband was the next person to come in. :-)

Here's the $14.99 cake we will be eating for FREE at lunch....and later too.

Printable coupon tip

2009-01-31T10:47:00.004-05:00

When you print a coupon because of a deal you read about on the Internet, quickly write on the excess paper information that will help you remember the deal.

For example someone just shared a $1 coupon for Velveeta (HERE) with me. Kraft Velveeta cheese is Buy 1 Get 1 at Publix this week. When I printed out the coupons, I took a pencil and wrote Publix 2/3 B1G1 on the bottom of the paper. This way I know where, when, and how good the sale is. I wish I had learned this tip earlier, because I have missed some great deals from lack of organization.

Update...keep praying

2009-01-19T13:09:00.001-05:00

Here is a more recent update on my friend's husband...

"My MIL and I just left Scott. He is doing MUCH better. They took him off the Bi-Pap mask to see how he would breathe on his own and he is doing well. He is much more coherent and very disappointed that he has to stay several more days. The infection is still running rampant through his bloodstream, but is being fought off with two high-powered antibiotics. He will have to sleep with the Bi-Pap machine from now on as he has severe sleep apnea, which he had before undiagnosed. His doctor told him he will be in the CCU for 4 to 5 days and then will be transferred to the telemetry unit for a few more days to let the IV antibiotics run their full courses. They will also be treating his severe cellulitis in both legs eventually, but at this point they are more concerned about removing the infection first.

He is still in a lot of danger as the infection could attack a major system with little notice, but he is doing well right at this moment. Thank you for your prayers and well wishes. "

Another Urgent Prayer Request

2009-01-18T22:53:00.002-05:00

An Internet friend of mine from a group I used to belong to has a great need of prayer. I met her a few years ago when her 6 yo daughter died of cancer. On Thursday they became aware that her 38 year old husband has an infection which caused him to be put into the hospital.

Here is her care page post from 6 hours ago...

"The infection in his leg has gone septic - spread into his bloodstream. It is now vigorously attacking his already enlarged heart and damaging his lungs.

He is on a Bi-Pap to force him to use all of his lungs to breathe. His lungs almost failed on him earlier today. His kidneys are also being attacked as his enzymes are low. They are using the Bi-Pap in place of intubating him (putting a tube down his throat & hooking him up to a ventilator)as usually once a man of his size gets hooked to a vent, they don't get off of one. Plus they are concerned that they won't be able to intubate him due to his size.

He has both a central line and an arterial line in him for medication and blood draws. He doesn't seem to understand what serious condition he is in and asked me today how he got here. He thought he was in Jacksonville at one point and then later thought he was in St Pete. I have had to keep telling him whathas happened in the last two days.

He is very sick, and his condition could turn on a dime in any moment. He is only 38yrs old. Please pray for him. He is not only my love, he is daddy to four already grief-stricken children, son to a mom who needs him, and the caretaker & provider for my whole family. He is my spiritual compass and my best friend. Pray, please pray."

Please join in prayer for this dear family.

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

2009-01-16T09:41:00.004-05:00

Please pray for my friend who is on life support at our hospital. She had two brain aneurisms this morning. She is such a sweet Christian lady. Her husband is supposed to be going to Afghanistan soon, and her son is driving to SC right now. (She was on the phone with her son when the first aneurism occurred.) She is a very healthy lady, so this is quite a shock! Tony and Fran have 2 children - Eric is a pastor, and Katharine is a student at Bob Jones University.

This wonderful new year!

2009-01-04T00:01:00.002-05:00

I just love the new year. Even though the days continue on as normal, it gives us a new starting point to grow in our lives. I have a LOT of growing to do too!

I have been thinking in the last few weeks, and I see the need for BIG change in my life. I am really trying to think about the goals that I set. I want them to be God-honoring first of all. And I also want to make sure I don't just set lofty goals that are unattainable or discouraging.

I believe the biggest area I have to grow in spiritually is SELF CONTROL. Of course, that can apply to just about every area of life, so it can be overwhelming. I am thankful for God opening my eyes to see just how far I am coming short of God's glory in this area. This definitely affects my life physically. (I do need to exercise for my health AND lose a lot of weight too.) Self control also has a huge impact on how I parent. (I am setting specific goals to be personally interacting with my children more each day to help them grow spiritually into all that God has planned for their lives.) What I shared here, is just a drop in the bucket compared to the myriad of ways that God is working in my heart.

Be sure to take a few moments to take inventory in your life as you start this new year. Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Are you living your life as a light before the world where you interact? Knowing Jesus as your Savior and living for Him alone WILL bring you happiness. Luke 11:28 NKJV - But He said, “Blessed (HAPPY!) are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”

If you have never heard a clear explanation of God's way to salvation HERE is a clear explanation. It is definitely worth reading, and I beg you to read it and accept God's FREE gift.

Heads up!

I am planning to get back into regular posting this week, but I wanted to let you know that there are supposed to be a lot of coupons in tomorrow's newspaper. Depending where you live there should be 4 or 5 inserts. :-) I think I am going to buy 8 papers for my family.

If you are a member of Coupon Mom you can click on her coupon database button to see the upcoming coupons. (www.couponmom.com) You will be able to choose your region of the USA, then you will be able to see the coupons for tomorrow. (Look for the coupons with tomorrow's date.) Sometimes the ones listed for SouthEast are not exactly what shows up in the Greenville, SC area - I believe she uses an Atlanta paper for her list.

Prince Caspian coupons and rebates...

2008-12-09T15:39:00.003-05:00

I am sorry to have kept you waiting. :-)

If you locate the Publix Green flyer titled "Happy Holiday Savings" pictured HERE, there is a coupon on the back page for $5 off of any dvd priced $11.99-$24.99, (I believe those are the correct amounts...I used the coupon already.) This coupon is good until December 26th.

There is also a rebate for $5.00 from Minute Maid HERE. This rebate is for Prince Caspian, Wall E, Tinkerbell, or Sleeping Beauty. You can get 4 rebates per household also. :-) The form explains the requirements. (Copies of the receipt are acceptable, so this allows you to apply for the other rebate available.)

There is another rebate for $3.00 from Scotch HERE.

If you are able to locate a Prince Caspian dvd at a Publix or IF you can get a raincheck while using the $5 coupon, the $5 rebate, and the $3 rebate, your final cost will be 99 cents plus tax.

Read in the comment section of this post, and check with your manager to find out if they can get you a dvd or a raincheck for Prince Caspian. As wonderful as the Publix in Simpsonville, SC is I think someone who is polite might be able to convince the manager there to order more copies specifically since they were out of the advertised product almost all week at most area stores. It is worth a try. OR there might be another store (?) that would honor the coupon from Publix.
