In HIS Hands: McCoy Lake

McCoy Lake

So, my mom and her desire to live life to the fullest, her need enjoy every possible moment and to have fun at all times, somehow talked her husband into buying a little mobile home trailer on McCoy Lake. It is not a big lake and the trailer is in need of some TLC, or as mom would say, "it's her labor of love".
It only takes us a little over an hour to get there and we LOVE it!! The kids seem to catch endless amounts of little bluegills and sunfish. (Grandpa and Daddy built an extra wide dock for the kids). We have a blast swimming, kayaking and soaking up the warm sun.

We love that fact that it is a place where we can get away from all the busyness of life. It is a place where we can let our "hair down" and just enjoy our family and have fun. It is a place where the kids can walk around with kool-a*d mustaches and where it really doesn't matter what you look like in a bathing suit or how your hair looks.

We are able to just be us...and that is a great thing!

"Fear not for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you... For I am the Lord your God..
~Isiah 43:1-3

Syndactyly is a term to describe webbed fingers or toes. In most cases the webbing is only skin, but in some cases, the bone may be fused together. Surgery is performed to correct the condition.

Polydactyly literally means "extra digits." There may be an extra thumb, small finger, or, less commonly, an extra digit in the central part of the hand. Polydactyly is one of the most common congenital hand anomalies.

Microtia is an incompletely formed ear. It ranges in severity from a bump of tissue to a partially formed ear. In most cases, only one ear is affected. In that case, it is called Unilateral Microtia. If both ears are affected, it is called Bilateral Microtia. In addition to the physical characteristics, there is a possiblitiy of some or all of these problems: About a 40% reduction of hearing in the affected ear, problems locating the direction from which a sound comes and ear infections.
