This blog was formerly dedicated in 2009 to my Dad who died of Alzheimer's in 2013. It's been three years now...and I find myself missing blogging...so I am re-inventing my blog... because, after all, life is about moving through, and going forward...

Please Pray....

My Mom has claustrophobia and has to have a two hour MRI on November 21st.  The X-ray showed a fractured spine, arthritis and osteoporosis.  The MRI will show all the soft tissues to help determine if she has a pinched nerve. The doctor is exploring why Mom keeps having the electric shock sensation in her legs. We would really appreciate your prayers as the MRI is going to be a real emotional challenge for her.

My brother in law is having knee surgery November 22nd.  Please pray for the surgeon, his doctors and for his speedy recovery and healing.

One of my friends has a mysterious paralysis and has been bed ridden for several months.  Her doctors just discovered a lesion on her spine through an MRI.  Please pray for her surgeons, doctors and her quick recover and ability to walk again.

I am having a colonoscopy on November 22nd.  I would appreciate  your prayers too.  In 2007 I was one of 40,000 people who were exposed to Hepatitis B, C and HIV from two Las Vegas colonoscopy clinics re-using syringes and anesthesia vials.  Our records were seized by the police.  I underwent blood tests every 6 months for two years and tested negative for everything.  Recently I had some tests and both my GYN and Primary Care doctor feel another colonoscopy should be done again for my best interests. Please pray for good results.

Thank you!

Let's Dance...

My Mom sent this email to me...I was watching the coverage on CNN about the monumental 8.9 earthquake and subsequent tsunami which has devastated Japan.  With everything going on in this world, the economy, the financial struggles of so many, and those who face medical challenges...please allow me to share this with everyone...

Dancing With God

"When I meditated on the word Guidance,
I kept seeing "dance" at the end of the word.
I remember reading that doing God's will is a lot like dancing.
When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn't flow with the music,
and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,
both bodies begin to flow with the music.
One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
or by pressing Lightly in one direction or another.
It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully.
The dance takes surrender, willingness,
and attentiveness from one person
and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.
When I saw "G": I thought of God, followed by "u" and "i".
"God, "u" and "i" dance."
God, you, and I dance.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust
that I would get guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God's blessings
and mercies are upon you on this day and everyday.
May you abide in God, as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead
and to guide you through each season of your life."

So let's continue to pray for one another.

"You changed my mourning into dancing…"  Ps 30:12

An Eye Opening Interpretation...

My spiritual mentor, who is a prayer warrior extraordinaire, sent me this in an email.  It was displayed beneath the glass on my work area for most of my eleven years when I worked for the federal courts. In the process of cleaning out my office, I found it.  I thought I would share it with you...

Psalm 23

The Lord is my Shepherd. That's Relationship!

I shall not want.  That's Supply!

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.  That's Rest!

He leadeth me beside the still waters.  That's Refreshment!

He restoreth my soul.  That's Healing!

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness.  That's Guidance!

For His name sake.  That's Purpose!

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.  That's Testing!

I will fear no evil.  That's Protection!

For Thou art with me.  That's Faithfulness!

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.  That's Discipline!

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.  That's Hope!

Thou annointest my head with oil.  That's Consecration!

My cup runneth over.  That's Abundance!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.  That's Blessing!

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord.  That's Security!

Forever.  That's Eternity!

AMEN!
