Hi Berta, how wonderful you're planning a birthday party for your mom! That sounds like fun and I bet your mom will enjoy that too!
Hang in there with your woe, you'll start losing again. I have my little hang ups now and then, but I have to remind my self that the Lord is in charge and I need to lay everything down at His feet and not worry about stuff!
Cast our cares!

Hi Momma Patty, another big congratulations to you too on your loss!! That is great and this seems to be working for you so keep up the good work!

I awoke this morning with a terrible stuffy nose and sore throat. Took some medication and am feeling some better.
Not much going on with me today. I am still trying to find a affordable medical insurance before my plan runs out with cobra in a few months.
So far AARP 50+ has given me the best plan and price.
My hubby found acompany called Consumer Alliance USA which had rates really cheap and called them and they sounded like a scam so I checked them out on the internet and they cannot be found, all they give is a phone number. I called Better Business
Bureau and they had a time finding them to but finally did and they have compliants, so many you could not name them all. They are telling people they are a medical coverage plan but in fact they are only a medical savings plan and and any other medical ex[enses you will have to pay out of pocket because they only pay a small percentage of the bill.
Then I found that most doctors will have nothing to do with them either and the doctors they have in their system all look like con artists to.
Have any of you ever heard of them
Glad I checked them out. When their rates sounded to good to be true I was already supicious of them.
But I am checking into AARP and they have their group medical through United Health Care which I have been on for years already. I know its good........

We look like rain today and the weather has gotton some cooler here in Fla. to over the last few days..Hope you all are staying warm.

WE HAVE AARP AND LIKE IT REALLY WELL. I THINK IT IS A GOOD CHOICE.I HAVEN'T EVER HEARD OF THE OTHERS IT'S A GOOD THING YOU HAD REASONING ENOUGH TO CHECK THEM OUT!

SISTERS
I WANTED TO SHARE THESE WITH YOU. I HOPE THEY MAKE YOU SMILE!




A little boy, who wanted $100.00 very badly, prayed for two weeks but nothing happened. Then he decided to write GOD a letter requesting $100.00. When the postal authorities received the letter to GOD, U.S.A., they decided to send it to the President. The President was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the boy $5.00. Mr. President thought that this would appear to be a lot of money to the little boy. The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 and immediately sat down to write a thank you note to GOD that read: "Dear God, Thank you very much for sending me the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through Washington, D.C., and, as usual, those devil's deducted $95.00.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A young boy had just gotten his driving permit. He asked his father, who was a minister, if they could discuss the use of the car. His father took him to his study and said to him, "I'll make a deal with you. You bring your grades up, study your Bible a little and get your hair cut and we'll talk about it." After about a month the boy came back and again asked his father if they could discuss use of the car. They again went to the father's study where his father said, "Son, I've been real proud of you. You have brought your grades up, you've studied your Bible diligently, but you didn't get your hair cut!"
The young man waited a moment and replied, "You know Dad, I've been thinking about that. You know, Samson had long hair, Moses had long hair, Noah had long hair, and even Jesus had long hair...." To which his father replied, "Yes, and they walked every where they went!"

Diana thanks so much and I really feel like I can do this the rest of my life. God has really helped me with this, because I love to eat and I am a big eater, but I know now that I just can't keep on eating that way and be healthy.

EVEN THOU WE PRAY AND DO THE RIGHT THINGS WE STILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THINGS TO BE ABLE TO HELP OTHER. I SHARED WITH THE KIDS ALOT OF THE TRIALS I WENT THROUGH AS A CHILD. LIKE THAT I WAS A FOSTER CHILD, I GROW UP WITHOUT A FATHER, AND THAT I WAS SEXUALLY ABUSED BY ADULTS. I SHOWED THEM HOW I HAD GROWN THROUGH THESE THINGS AND CAN RELATE TO OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THESE THINGS. AND HOW GOD HEALS THE HURTS. AND LATER ON HOW YOU CAN SEE HOW THE TRIAL MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON. I REALLY ADDED ON TO THE STUDY. AND I AM SURE YOU CAN TELL I REALLY ENJOYED TEACHING IT. I HAVE SOME TEENS THAT ARE REALLY GOING THROUGH A LOT. ONE OF THE GIRLS HER FATHER IA AN ALCHOLIC AND SHE HAS BEEN IN DEPRESSION ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE HE IS CAUSING A LOT OF PROBLEMS AND THEN I HAVE SOME THAT THE PARENTS ARE DIVORCED AND THE FATHER ONLY PICKS THEM UP FOR VISITATIONS WHEN HE FEELS LIKE IT. the enemy is doing his job But we serve a God that is always there to help up

I PRAY GODS BLESSING ON YOU AND MAY HE BELSS YOU ABUNDANTLY FOR KEEPING THOSE CHILDREN AND SHOWING THEM CHRIST! God has totally helped me to forget and forgive and I have some great news a week ago there was an 11 year old girl in our church her mom told the Pastor that she wanted to give her to heart to the lord and Richard pop up in his seat and said Vicky I want to do that. I said Richard do you know what she is doing, I said she is going to praying an ask the lord to come into her heart, he said I want to do that so he went down and said the sinners prayer with her There was a few teary eyes in that church when that happen. Afterward he was told that the angels were rejoicing since he did that. He really liked that.
