Mine is so severe right now that less than 15 minutes attempting to sleep without it and I wake up gasping for breath, so sleep is fought and REM is impossible. After three days of this, with wife fresh out of Emergency Room and two teen girls three days without a shower in tow, I accepted Daniel Alicea's kind offer of sanctuary. I guess even Superman has to ask for help on occasion.

Daniel has proven to be a most gracious host and does everything with his usual flair. When we arrived the room was lit solely by apple cider scented candles, there were Rose petals on the floor spelling Welcome Griffins Will You Stay with Me? unable to resist he took me to the stairwell dropped to one knee and offered a key to the house. This morning we went to University of Houston and had pictures made. In the next couple of days the Alicea/Griffin hurricane party website should be functional.
Wow, You mean the love of Jesus in demonstration. And in America. TCSQ should be shocked to find that you were helped without you having to steal it at gunpoint. And being helped by brothers on the AFF; the "church" loving and caring for itself. Amazing to some, but norm for those of us who practice this God-kind of life everyday.

Re: Griffin's Multi-purpose thread

Glad you and your family are doing better. I am also glad that Dan offered you a shelter from the storm and you accepted. We are praying for those in the South Texas, South LA area.

Re: Griffin's Multi-purpose thread

Seems like Jimbo is the romantic ...

After eating the dinner I prepared yesterday .... Jim proposed that if Deb were to leave him and Cass were to leave me ... he'd want to be housemates with me....

I responded with he just doesn't offer what I'm looking for ...

He liked your cooking! That's enough to get any guy to live with you!

You're going to make a good wife for Cass!
