Corban

My cat Corban is MIA (or maybe AWOL - not quite sure). I left my house on Friday morning, November 14th. He was sleeping quietly on my bed (really his bed) and appeared to be fine. My neighbor called on Saturday night to stay they hadn't seen him. I had some unexpected guests who left on Friday afternoon and he may have ducked out the door when they were not looking. In any event, he is missing and I am bereaved. He is a very special cat (in more ways than one) and I miss him terribly. Please pray that he comes home safe and intact.

Continent Hopping

Just wanted to let you know of recent events. I am currently staying in Islamabad due to the security situation in Peshawar (translate that to Peshawar is not exactly giving warm fuzzies to ex-pats at the moment). I will be leaving for Dubai on November 30th and staying for couple of days doing medical appointments. Then the real fun begins. I am going home for Christmas!!!!!!!!!!! I will be leaving Dubai on December 5th and flying into Houston. After a couple of days in Houston, I will be staying with my mother and my brother's family near the San Antonio area. I want to use this trip to rest and to re-connect with my family and friends. Please pray for me as I travel and sleep in many different places. "I'll be home for Christmas...." God has given me korban (a special blessing) with this trip.

Obituary for Tuesday Walker

Tuesday Walker, of Dilley, Texas, died Sunday, November 24, 2008. He was born in August 1997 in Calallen, Texas. He was adopted by his human, Rebecca, on October 21, 1997. This date thereafter was always celebrated as his birthday. He was my cat for 10 years and for the last year had lived with my mother, Joy Walker, in Dilley, Texas. He was a great cat - warm, affectionate, and loving. He was a red tabby - a common breed with an uncommon heart. He was a creature of habit - much to the amusement of the humans he lived with. He arose for breakfast between 6 and 8 am. After some quality time with his human, he would retire to a high place (a closet shelf or the like) for a long serious cat nap. Periodally he would wake up and check on his human (assuring himself that they were still around to feed him) and then return to dozing. He almost always put himself to bed about 9:00 pm and encouraged his human to follow the same schedule. He was a magnificant cat and will be sorely missed. He is preceded in death by his brother, Monday Walker. He is survived by his humans, Rebecca Walker and Joy Walker.
