[RecipesAndMore] The Pinewood Derby
The Pinewood Derby My son Gilbert was eight years old and had been in Cub Scouts only a short time. During one of his meetings he was handed a sheet of paper, a block of wood and four tires and told to return home and give it all to his dad. That was not an easy task for Gilbert to do. Dad was not receptive to doing things with his son. But Gilbert tried. Dad read the paper and scoffed at the idea of making a pinewood derby car with his young, eager son. The block of wood remained untouched as the weeks passed. Finally, mom stepped in to see if I could figure this all out. The project began. Having no carpentry skills, I decided it would be best if I simply read the directions and let Gilbert do the work. And he did. I read the measurements aloud, the rules of what we could do and what we couldn't do. Within days his block of wood was turning into a pinewood derby car. A little lopsided, but looking great, at least through the eyes of mom. Gilbert had not seen any of the other kids cars and was feeling pretty proud of his Blue Lightning, the pride that comes with knowing you did something on your own. Then the big night came. With his blue pinewood derby in his hand and pride in his heart we headed to the big race. Once there my little one's pride turned to humility. Gilbert's car was obviously the only car made entirely on his own. All the other cars were a father-son partnership, with cool paint jobs and sleek body styles made for speed. A few of the boys giggled as they looked at Gilbert's, lopsided, wobbly, unattractive vehicle. As the race began, it was done in elimination fashion. You kept racing as long as you were the winner. One by one the cars raced down the finely sanded ramp. Finally it was between Gilbert and the sleekest, fastest looking car there. As the last race was about to begin, my wide-eyed, shy, eight-year-old asked if they could stop the race for a minute, because he wanted to pray. The race stopped. Gilbert hit his knees clutching his funny looking block of wood between his hands. With a wrinkled brow he set to converse with his Father. He prayed in earnest for a very long minute and a half. Then he stood, smile on his face and announced, Okay, I am ready. As the crowd cheered, a boy named Tommy stood with his father as their car sped down the ramp. Gilbert stood with his Father within his heart and watched his block of wood wobble down the ramp with surprisingly great speed and rushed over the finish line a fraction of a second before Tommy's car. Gilbert leaped into the air with a loud Thank you as the crowd roared in approval. The Scout Master came up to Gilbert with microphone in hand and asked the obvious question, So you prayed to win, huh, Gilbert? To which my young son answered, Oh, no sir. That wouldn't be fair to ask God to help you beat someone else. I just asked Him to make it so I don't cry when I lose. Children seem to have a wisdom far beyond us. Gilbert didn't ask God to win the race, he didn't ask God to fix the outcome, Gilbert asked God to give him strength in the outcome. When Gilbert first saw the other cars he didn't cry out to God, No fair, they had a father's help. No, he went to his Father for strength. Perhaps we spend too much of our prayer time asking God to rig the race, to make us number one, or too much time asking God to remove us from the struggle, when we should be seeking God's strength to get through the struggle. [I can do everything through Him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13] Gilbert's simple prayer spoke volumes to those present that night. He never doubted that God would indeed answer his request. He didn't pray to win, and thus hurt someone else, he prayed that God supply the grace to lose with dignity. Gilbert, by his stopping the race to speak to his Father also showed the crowd that he wasn't there without a dad, but His Father was most definitely there with him. Yes, Gilbert walked away a winner that night, with his Father at his side. A single candle can illuminate an entire room. A true friend lights up an entire lifetime.

[RecipesAndMore] Has The Diabetes Connection To Circulatory ProblemsBeen Found?
Has The Diabetes Connection To Circulatory ProblemsBeen Found? Has The Diabetes Connection To Circulatory ProblemsBeen Found? Scientists believe they have uncovered the link between diabetes and circulatory problems which causes thousands of Britons to need a limb amputation each year. A protein in cells could be responsible for leg ulcers and gangrene in diabetics, which lead to their needing amputation, they said. Experts from the British Heart Foundation (BHF) said the study could pave the way for a new drug to cut down the risks. About 5,000 diabetics a year in the UK - or 100 a week - have a limb amputated. Experts carried out experiments on mice and found that a protein called p75NTR was present in the cells of diabetics but not in the cells of healthy mice. When they stopped the protein working in diabetic cells, they found that circulation to the lower limbs improved. But when the protein was introduced into cells, circulation worsened, suggesting the important role played by the protein. Jeremy Pearson, associate medical director at the British Heart Foundation (BHF), which funded the study, said: The researchers have found that there is an increased expression of this protein in the cells of diabetics. The problem with diabetics is that they get all sorts of circulation problems and can suffer things like gangrene in their toes. People have never understood before exactly why this is. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

[RecipesAndMore] Joke--Blonde Mortician
Subject: Blonde Mortician Blonde Mortician A man who just died is delivered to a local mortuary wearing an expensive, expertly tailored black suit. The female blonde mortician asks the deceased's wife how She would like the body dressed. She points out that the man does look good in the black suit he is already wearing. The widow, however, says that she always thought her husband looked his best in blue, and that she wants him in a blue suit. She gives the blonde mortician a blank check and says, 'I don't care what it costs, but please have my husband in a blue suit for the viewing.' The woman returns the next day for the wake. To her delight, she finds her husband dressed in a gorgeous blue suit with a subtle chalk stripe; the suit fits him perfectly. She says to the mortician, 'Whatever this cost, I'm very satisfied. You did an excellent job and I' m very grateful. How much did you spend?' To her astonishment, the blonde mortician presents her with the blank check. 'There's no charge,' she says. 'No, really, I must compensate you for the cost of that exquisite blue suit!' she says. 'Honestly, ma'am,' the blonde says, 'it cost nothing. You see, a deceased gentleman of about your husband's size was brought in shortly after you left yesterday, and he was wearing an attractive blue suit. I asked his wife if she minded him going to his grave wearing a black suit instead, and she said it made no difference as long as he looked nice.' 'So I just switched the heads.'

[RecipesAndMore] feeling left out
hi do anyone here feel sometimes they are left out of the loop? i go to a church that i have attnded on and off since i was a teenager. i left when i was about 18 to attend college, but i still always came to see them on my vacations. anwya, sicne we moved back to live with my parents, i have been attending here for nearly a year. one would think that one would feel more family like with the church. i don't know how to explain this... we have met a few good folks from the church and we do things from time to time with them if they call and ask if we woudl like to come along for this or that. sometimes, i have asked such and such to take me to the store, and we have a great time. my thing is feeling more excepted with the church. for instance, they have baby showers, weddings showers and never ask if i want to come along. today, they had a 1 month old baby come to the church. i had to make several hints and finally had to just come out and ask if the baby was still around and could i hold him. it is a long story, but first the pastor's wife asked if i had held the baby since he was so small and she figured i would be reminded of philip when he was a baby. anyway, she told the grandma of the baby that she would hold anna-lynn so i could hold the baby. Well, vicky walked with me to the church kitchen, but still never handed the baby over and after about 20 mins, i asked her about the baby. she had said at first before we went off to the kitchen that john, her son was in a hurry to go home, but when i got to the kitchen, he was just sitting around. vicki handed the baby to another lady. anyway, that was one way i felt left out today. later, the women were talking about a wedding shower that is to take place this coming saturday. no one asked me anything about coming etc. this has happened for baby showers as well. got to go take care of anna-lynn. mabye this is all just trivial. may we strive to do the will of god in all we do in our lives martin family may we strive to do the will of god in all we do in our lives martin family --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---
