In the email with the pictures, "Two-Step" Neal states

"These were taken at a small village outside of Kabul Afghanistan. The village name is Deh Sabz. There is an all boys school, and were there checking on a school construction project, and trying to get the paperwork completed for the chairs and desks. In spite of not having all the things that American school kids have, they still walk to school everyday, and sit on the floor to learn. They are TOUGH, just like JB!"

WOW! Thank you so much Lt Col "Two-Step" Neal!

You're Awesome Baby...

...with a capital "A"!!!

Wowza! Dick Vitale of ESPN!

Keep 'em coming!

Hey guys! My family and I have just arrived back from a beach vacation so this is the reason there have not been any pictures posted in the past two weeks.

If you sent in a photo to me over the last two weeks look for it to be posted in the next day or so.

We are still wanting you to send in those JB photos! Keep 'em coming-it is never too late!

We received tons of Summer JB photos--Fall season is just around the corner--what can you come up with?

Email JB photos to SwanSwanna@cox.net or ShawnShauna@cox.net

God Bless you all!

Today I lifted up your name
Before the Lord in prayer.
I asked Him to supply your needs,
And keep you in His care.

I pled with Him to make you well,
And take away your pain;
To chase away your sorrows,
as The sunshine chases rain.

Because I know He holds you in
The hollow of His hand,
I prayed that you would know His peace,
And have the strength to stand.

If you should be discouraged,
and Feel moored in deep despair,
Please know we think about you,
and Remember you in prayer.

It's on me

I called up Bob, the manager of SID's and asked him if he could help me out with his marquee for JB. He came up with this lyrical message!

For those of you in Macon, you know Bob comes up with some very witty and funny marquee slogans! I love to read them on the way to work in the mornings.

I thought SID's was the ideal location because so many employees from The Med go down Forsyth Road on the way to work and are aware of JB's situation.

Just a quick little reminder to say a prayer for him!

For those of you who have never ate there, you don't know what you're missing!

JB--you have a sandwich and sweet tea waiting on you little buddy! :o)

A special thank you to Bob for doing this!

Bob (Manager of SID's; far right) and his wonderful crew!

Thanks guys!

Holly Reeves had lunch at SID's sandwich shop today and sent this in!
