I received the following story from my friend, Irene, in an email. It caused me to reflect back on all the times the Lord has propped me up on my “leanin’ side” and on all the people who have propped me up over the years.
I hope you enjoy the story as much as [...]

It has been 6 1/2 weeks since my total thyroidectomy. My incision is looking pretty good. The lump at the base of my throat is still there…I’m not liking it. I wish it would go away. I don’t like the way it looks. I don’t like the way it feels. It doesn’t hurt, it just [...]

HOW TO TELL IF YOU NEED TO PRAY AT WORK
When a co-worker comes in a little too happy singing “good morning” to everyone and you think, “Somebody needs to slap the s#@! out of her”…You need to pray at work.
When someone comes in and announces, “office meeting in 5 minutes,” and you think, “what the [...]

But this time it’s a very unique, creative dress made from 3000 gum wrappers! This young lady, Vanessa Randall, is an aspiring designer and artist. You can read her story here.
How cute is this? And to think that she designed and crafed this dress herself…WOW! I have just one question…What happens if the gum wrappers tear?

Two days ago the Chapman family lost their youngest daughter in a tragic accident.
I can’t imagine the horror of losing a child, nor that of having to comfort the child that accidentally caused the death of his younger sister.
Please pray for the family, I’m sure they’ve never needed it more.

I went to my post surgery appointment with my endocrinologist this morning. It was brief, but very good. I absolutely do NOT need to undergo the radioactive iodine treatment!! HOORAY! That has been my greatest fear all along, and it was laid to rest this morning, once and for all. I will have to have ultrasounds [...]

In all it’s truly blazing glory, it seems that summer has arrived in Phoenix. It’s 106 degrees in the shade right now.
I hate this awful heat.
I guess I should be grateful; we had a good, long stretch of nice weather. I really didn’t expect it to last this far into May.
It’s time to start carrying a potholder, [...]

My youngest stepson, B., is such a clown. He’s funny and loveable and totally enjoys being the center of attention. He’s half Asian, he’s proud of it, and this has led him to say some hilarious stuff.
“Thai. That’s Thai, like in Thailand, not Taiwan!” he spouted, with a look that said “you’re so stupid” on his little [...]

I have complained many times in my life about the outrageous cost of insurance. I’ve called it “legalized extortion”, and I still feel that way in most respects. I think it is ludicrous how much money goes out the window each month for homeowners, car, medical, disability, life, dental and vision coverage. It’s scary, really.
However, right [...]
I got to see my surgeon this morning! The visit went very well. He said that it is not at all uncommon to get a slight infection in the area around the incision and because my condition is improving since starting the antibiotics that there is nothing to worry about. I asked him about my [...]

At 12:30 I got a call from my surgeon’s office, “Dr. VLR is running late. Let’s reschedule for 4:00 PM. But call first, just to be sure he’s going to make it.”
“Okay.”
I called at 3:00 and was told that he’s NOT going to make it. Grrrrrrrr. I guess I sounded a little frustrated because the [...]

‘Tis the season for the continuing saga of frustrations.
I was supposed to see my surgeon on the 6th at 3:00 PM. At 2:44, that day, his assistant called to say that he was in surgery and we needed to reschedule. I was in my car. On the way to his office. I did not hear [...]

One morning last week I was watching “Fraiser” on Lifetime, while getting ready for work. On this particular episode, he and his brother were in a fender bender that resulted in air bag deployment and Fraiser ended up with a cut on the bridge of his noes. Off they went to the ER, to wait [...]

My husband and I have things that we say to each other that no one else would be able to decipher (which in some instances is REALLY a good thing). In fact, some of the things we say would probably make the guy behind us in line at WalMart scratch his head and go, “HUH?”.
I [...]
