We Lost

In May we had a hearing in Phila court to try to stop our former attorney's agreement with the trucking company. Our complaint was that he agreed to the very low amount without our OK. In fact we were not even THERE - we had left and he was instructed to call us - he didn't call until AFTER he accepted the offer. Well the judge finally ruled against us. So now we are stuck taking this low amount or we have to appeal in order to get the judges reasons in writing, and to have a leg to stand on to go after our former attorney for all the money he lost us by doing such a rotten job. The wheels of justice turn VERY slowly and we think they are rusted in place actually. Right now we don't have a lot of hope that we will ever see justice this side of heaven.

Please pray for us as we are very discouraged. We have to find a way to keep our business afloat until either the insurance or the trucking company pays us for our losses. We are not expecting anyone to pay without a fight.

Signing off for the weekend.... thank you all for holding us up in prayer. We need it.

Dear Karen:

I am so sorry to hear about the disappointment in the case and I am praying for God to give you and Charles wisdom to make your decision about the next move if you have not already done so.

I was glad to hear that you got some good news from your doctor.

We pray for you regularly and will keep praying. It sounds like you are doing a better job keeping up with homeschooling your four than I am with my three! You are great!

I heard that Claudia and Ethan were at the youth retreat, from Michelle who heard from her Crossroads friends who were there.

We will keep looking at the blog and praying for you. Don't lose sight of God's big picture for eternity. He had a good purpose in bringing your special family together as He did and He will not just drop you! He will send His angels to bear you, Charles and the kids up.

Love from all the Barrs,

Mary Sue

Karen, I wonder what a good investigative news reporter would do for your case. Herb D. comes to mind.

Glad to hear that you had another clear test and we will see you on Friday - we hope!

Dear Karen,
I have been keeping up with your blog and praying for you, Charles and your family regularly. And thanks to 'Aunt Bonnie', I want to wish you a Happy Birthday, too! (Have you hit the big one yet???)
I am so glad you are battling your cancer with a positive outlook of what God will do in your life. I was just in Florida last week with my sister who is now a 2 year breast cancer survivor and we went on the 'Making Strides Against Breast Cancer' 5K walk in Orlando. God is good.

Love from
