Breaking up is hard to do!

I was at Winter Jam and Tony Nolan told us a story of a dating couple breaking up that I thought was pretty funny, so I decided to share it with all my faithful bloggers (being Gary). So this ones for you. A boy went to break up with his girlfriend and this is what he said, "If you remove the "L" from "Lover" you get "over" and that's what this relationship is, over." She was so upset she told her best friend and the best friend went right up to the boy, who kept slurping down Mt. Dew and said in an annoying voice, "If you were my boyfriend I would posion your Mt. Dew." And he said, "If you were my girlfriend I would drink it". Wow, way funny huh? It seemed to be alot funnier when Tony said it. Oh well, good times!

Blessings

So yesterday, I went to a new doctor named Dr. Mohammand. He is in the Neuroscience Dept. @ OSU. He is a genius. He told me that he had reviewed all my test and notes and then he said, "You have disection in brain, should of had serious stroke, thank God that you still with us". He continued to say that there is nothing he can do with the "webbing" in my right vertebral and the one artery that is hanging by a thread. There is also nothing that can be done about having half of a "circle of willis" that functions because of the left vertebral artery that had been removed. But one day prior to this doctor visit my daughter Kayla called and shared with us what God had just done for her. What God did for her and really our whole family was such a blessing that the news I received at the doctor seemed so small compared to His greatness. A professor @ SEU in her marriage and family asked the students what support means to them. Kayla's answer was, "What support means to me is, our family being in ministry together, we are their for each other, we cheer each other on and we love doing ministry with one another". After Kayla's response the Professor said that he would like to speak into her life with a prophetic word. I'm not going to lie, I think that the "prophetic word" has sometimes been abused, so I felt a little cautious. Kayla went on to explain this "blessing" that came her way, by God, through her professor. He told her that she had had a tough year phsyically and that her healing has come. That she is a loving, loyal, daughter who loves her family and parents a lot. That she had recently fasted and prayed for her family, then called to pray for her parents on the phone. That her parents loved her so much. Also that our family had been through a lot this year. But, God is in control. Then he said that her children and her grandchildren will be blessed. And, lastly that her ministry would be blessed. This was such an encouragement to Kayla and us that God would use man to let us know that His eye is on us. Wow, what a blessing that God spoke through him so specifically. Tough circumtances and suffering seem so small in the light of blessing. I feel so blessed and humbled by God's love. He cares so much for us and wants us to know, He knows. What can I say, God has given me a wonderful husband, 4 girls that love the Lord and serve Him and a peace that goes beyond human understanding. Trust Him, love Him, serve Him and have confidence in who you are in Him.

It will happen next Monday

Have you ever tried to diet? I try not to use that word because the first 3 letters are DIE! So I prefer to use the words a "balanced eating plan". I always start my new "eating plan" on Monday's and I know it's only Tuesday but I've done real well so far. However, Wednesday is always the kicker, you know, like it's the 3rd day into the "plan" and you feel like you want to kick it, give up and have another brownie. Oh well their is always another Monday. Anyway, they say my weight gain is because of my medicine, but who are "they" and why would a small green pill cause this? "They" said I would peak out and this I have done in more ways than one. I'm assuming that it means I will level out and then I will be able to take off the added pounds. All this to say, I really want french fries. Bye for now!
