Dear Lord,
Every single evening
God bless all my family
And God, there is one more thing
Now I know that it's unusual
You see that little metal box
I know so much about them
By faith is how I know them
Please take an extra minute
Wherever else this prayer may reach
When you update your Heavenly list
AMEN
Our Uncle L__ and Aunti L__ came to the United States for the first time around January of 2005/6. We had the chance to show them all over the Twin Cities: St. Paul-Winter Carnival (Jan 07') and Taste of Minnesota (Jul 06' and 07'), Wisconsin (06'), and other parts of Minnesota (Alexandria (July 07')-including my current hometown of Morris (July 07').
Our aunt M___ (Mom's side)....
.... came to visit America for the first time from Tuesday, July 17th -(today) Sunday, July 22nd of 2007. I wasn't able to see her until yesterday, but the rest of my family took her around the Twin Cities: Mall of America, St. Paul-mom's workplace/Ceo&Khua's place for Kong's baby shower, and several different restaurants. During my short-time, I was able to take some pictures of her visiting Como Park, Science Museum, and ended Saturday evening at the Minneapolis' Aquatennial to see some cool fireworks (the best in the region)!

As I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head.
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm and safe from harm
For they're so close to me.
I wish that you could do,
Hope you don't mind me asking
Please bless my computer too..
To Bless a motherboard,
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.
Holds more than odds and ends,
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends..
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.
Much the same as you,
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew.
From your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book
That's filled with so much love.
To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail inbox
And each person who hits send.
On your own CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who says this prayer
Sent up to GOD.com.
