syl. praying you won't have to be in the hospital. i know god deals with you a lot and he has guided you in so much i know you will find forgiveness yet once again in your heart for all that has and is happening to you. god bless you dear one and may he give you quick recovery and peace that surpasses all understanding. may we strive to do the will of god in all we do in our lives martin family - Original Message - From: Sugar To: recipesAndMore@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2008 8:27 PM Subject: [RecipesAndMore] update on me, sugar Hi all, A couple of weeks ago, I asked for prayer for myself, and today I went to the doctor and this is what he told me: he said that I had picked up a viral bacteria and infection in my lungs. he put me on antibiotics and cough syrup with co-dine to help me sleep. It was all caused by being around some people who were ill with the flu, and a staff infection, and refused to tell me on purpose, because i apparenaley got her upset, for some who don't know who I am speaking of it's my careing mother-in-law. she has always been awful towards me, and I won't make this a long story, but when I moved out, she was upset that I stoled her son from her and now this a way to pay me back for being so selfish and inconsiderate of her feelings so there... she had my little niece of 5 years old try to get close enough to me, because little patricia had caught a staff infection, so it was a plan, and my mom in law was unbearably nice to me, and I thought she was trying, but that was my mistake...and before long, wa la! because my immune system is so low due to my kidney/pancreas transplant, and anti rejection meds, I was an easy target, and she knows this. well, Lord help us, must help me pray for her, and well, as for me, I am on the road to recovery now. If I don't feel better by Friday, I'll be admitted in to the hospital but with God's help, and prayers, I'll be fine. Thanks for the prayers, and for the extra support for today. bless your hearts.

It is a outfit with shoes, a bike, and water paints with coloring books: knowing this, she goes on to tell me how proud she is to be a grandmother, and ect..., then she stops and says, oh, I forgot he is dead yes, just like that, and then walks away, so there I am sitting with a shock expression, while tears are flowing freely, with out me saying a word. Daniel gets in the car, and tells me, babe, why didn't you tell me you were feeling sick?, mom came back in the house worried that you were going to get ill, she said you told her that you were not well, and all this time I never said a word. well, that is all I am gona say, I don't want to keep going, but you can imagine the heart ache I have been feeling all day, it's why all the e mails of today has brought me a smile to my heart.

[RecipesAndMore] Re: Fw: Worst First date
oh wow!!! talk about an event never to be forgotten!!! may we strive to do the will of god in all we do in our lives martin family - Original Message - From: Marsha [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Marcatony [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 9:08 PM Subject: [RecipesAndMore] Fw: Worst First date Worst First date If you didn't see this on the Tonight show, I hope you're sitting down when you read it. This is probably the funniest date story ever, first date or not!!! We have all had bad dates but this takes the cake. Jay Leno went into the audience to find the most embarrassing first date that a woman ever had. The winner described her worst first date experience. There was absolutely no question as to why her tale took the prize! She said it was midwinter...Snowing and quite cold... and the guy had taken her skiing in the mountains outside Salt Lake City, Utah. It was a day trip (no overnight). They were strangers, after all, and had never met before. The outing was fun but relatively uneventful until they were headed home late that afternoon. They were driving back down the mountain, when she gradually began to realize that she should not have had that extra latte. They were about an hour away from anywhere with a rest room and in the middle of nowhere! Her companion suggested she try to hold it, which she did for a while. Unfortunately, because of the heavy snow and slow going, there came a point where she told him that he had better stop and let her go beside the road, or it would be the front seat of his car . They stopped and she quickly crawled out beside the car, yanked her pants down and started. In the deep snow she didn't have good footing, so she let her butt rest against the rear fender to steady herself. Her companion stood on the side of the car watching for traffic and indeed was a real gentleman and refrained from peeking. All she could think about was the relief she felt despite the rather embarrassing nature of the situation. Upon finishing however, she soon became aware of another sensation. As she bent to pull up her pants, the young lady discovered her buttocks were firmly glued against the car's fender. Thoughts of tongues frozen to poles immediately came to mind as she attempted to disengage her flesh from the icy metal. It was quickly apparent that she had a brand new problem. Due to the extreme cold. Horrified by her plight and yet aware of the humor of the moment, she answered her date's concerns about what is taking so long with a reply that indeed, she was freezing her butt off and in need of some assistance! He came around the car as she tried to cover herself with her sweater and then, as she looked imploringly into his eyes, he burst out laughing. She too, got the giggles and when they finally managed to compose themselves, they assessed her dilemma. Obviously, as hysterical as the situation was, they also were faced with a real problem. Both agreed it would take something hot to free her chilly cheeks from the grip of the icy metal! Thinking about what had gotten her into the predicament in the first place, both quickly realized that there was only one way to get her free. So, as she looked the other way, her first time date proceeded to unzip his pants and pee her butt off the fender. As the audience screamed in laughter, she took the Tonight Show prize hands down. Or perhaps that should be pants down. And you thought your first date was embarrassing. Jay Leno's comment...This gives a whole new meaning to being pissed off. Oh, and how did the first date turn out? He became her husband and was sitting next to her on the Leno show. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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 -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

hi well my sister in law is doing much beter. thanks so much for praying. her dr told her family that with a bp as high as hers, most people have a stroke and also have a heart attack and die immediately. she is doing much much better now. they are working on therapy already with her. ollie's right side is paralyzed, but her dr is hure her right foot will be back to normal, but not sure about her right arm. she is having more problems with taht arm, but she is able to push down and move around with her right foot. anyway, more news for us here yesterday i had to take my great grandma to the hospital. she was complaining about chest pains, shurtness of breath, her ankels and part of her legs were swollen, and she was feeling queasy and shaky. so i had to do a quick feed for anna-lynn, dash out the door and be with my great grandma last night. i didnt get home till nearly 3 in the morning i will be going back. they have her on the progressive care unit. they are just doing tests and observing her since she had mentioned her chest was hurting. it hurts her in the center, so i am guessing maybe bad acid reflux. anyway, we are just ripping and running and trying to keep miss anna happy and trying to feed her enough before i leave so she doesn't get too upset. she won't use the sippy that much, but she loves her rice cereal and philip knows how to help feed her. poor anna-lynn has to go to her 6 month old check up this friday gosh, the shots are so so rough on her. please pray in advance that she will do very well with these shots. not sure if i really want to deal with sick throwing up baby and great grandma in hospital or at home and i have to check on her mostly! please just keep us all in prayers. 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 -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

[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 -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---
[RecipesAndMore] Re: feeling left out
yes, that is the most annoying fact. they know i have kids i am always bringing in my 4 kids to church!!! may we strive to do the will of god in all we do in our lives martin family - Original Message - From: Helena To: RecipesAndMore@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 2:33 AM Subject: [RecipesAndMore] Re: feeling left out Oh, I can relate to that. I often felt left out at my church, even if there were some great people there. People were nice to me -- At least most of them were -- but I was never included in things. I belonged to a prayer group, and we use to meet twice a month. But sometimes I heard they had been meeting at each other's homes, singing and praying, or just fellowshipping. But I was never asked to join. But that was really stupid, that they didn't seem to want you to hold the baby. They must know that you've got children of your own. But some people don't want me to hold their babies either. Except once, when a school mate at the school for grown-ups just handed her child over to me, saying: Just hold Nellie while I take off my coat, will you? One of the elderly women came over, saying: Oh, there's no need, I'll take her! But the mother stood her ground, saying: Oh, but I've just given her to Helena, and she's settling down nicely. But it was clear that the elderly lady didn't trust me. Not because I can't have children of my own, but because, of course, that I can't see.

[RecipesAndMore] a differnt viewpoint from a family member finally
hi we for the past week and a half have had company from vietnam. i have to admit, before they came here, i was quite nervous on what they would think etc of my home schooling my children, having 4 kids, both parents being blind det etc. the reason for all this wondering is because i hear so much from my family how of a mistake i have made choseing home schooling, having children, being married to someone blind, depriving my children etc etc. i have even had it thrown in my face how i am commiting a horrible sin with the choices i made in parenting, home schooling etc. anyway, when my great uncles, great ant, and 2 cousins arrived 2 fridays ago, i wondered on and off what they would think. curtis took the children to the fair that next day and i was asked to come along to have a lunch with the family. anna-lynn and i tagged along. not soon after we left, my great aunt turned around and asked me when the kids were going to school. i repled that i am teaching them. she thought i meant that i was just teaching for the summer. she again asked when they would head off to school. i told her that i was teaching at home. she then thought i was teaching them till they were ready for school. i replied that i am home schooling which means that antyhing they would learn at school, i am teaching myself. she didn't say much more about it. my cousin got into the conversation and asked how do i do this? she surprisingly was excited and very agreeable. she explained to her mom that these kids will maybe never enter a school system or if they do, they may enter later in their elemetary years or high school etc. she told my aunt that was such a great idea becuase the kids would have one on one time, not be distracted by toher children, be able to learn and do their tasks faster, have more caring and compassionate thoguhts for people, in general, be very well rounded. she had said that she noticed how clever and fast the kids pick up and she saw how they loved their little sister. she thought home schooling was a great idea and she said since i am the mom, only i would know what the needs of my kids were i was so astonished and awe strucken/. i have never really had any relatives feel that home schooling was good for the kids i always heard of the kid snot socializing, my blindess playing a huge role, me depriving my children of everything and the kids becoming drug attics etc etc. my mom heard our conversation, but she chose to ignore it all i was really hoping that it would have penatrated and that she would have been proud to hear that someone in the family thought home schooling was a great thing! oh well. now in september, my grandma from my mom's side of the family will be here from vietnam. i don't know what she will percieve!!! oh, when my cousin did come down to visit, she asked if the kids had doen their work yet. i told her that we had got up early that day and had done a few odds and ends. she never tested the kids, she never asked what we did, how do i kow the kids are staying on task, how do i teach this or that 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 -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

Good deal that they accepted your decisions, and feel you, as a blind parent, are doing your level best with the children. Your mom lets herself become too emotionally involved, instead of trusting your decisions and just letting you know she is there for you and the family when you request help, she shouldn't dredge you in help and syrup, if you get my drift! I am all for home schooling; know several families, both parents sighted where it was done throughout most of high school, and then around the junior and senior years, the kids requested attending regular high school for the experience. the parents did allow the transition. Keep a stiff upper lip; I know you are doing a terrific job, and no better than that can be accomplished by one person.

I know the grandma in your household loves all the kids, and as they hang out with her more, she will bond more and more.

I had to help her get ready and my eldest son philip and her has bonded in a unique way. she and philip used to have a hard time getting along. actually, she didn't like philip, felt he was annoying her, felt he wouldn't learn antying, but as he got older and she could ask him to take care of flowers vacuum, etc, she started softening towards him. i think also, she sees that even though he home schools, he isn't some sttrange alien, smiles. anyway, she kept telling philip that she would miss him which is quite something for my great grandma. she has a hard time at times saying what she means, especially if it is sentimental. also, she was the same way with jojo, which is very nice too. she used to not be able to deal with him saying no, no, at everything because she felt he was saying no to her. if she was walking by and he said no, she felt he was trying to tell her where she could go. at that time, jojo was about a few months from turning two and his favorite word of course was no no no no anyway, she kept talking about how much he has learned to speak since we took her to the airport monday of last week. it has been a week since she is gone. seems a little strange withouth her being around. before she left, i would sometimes cook with her since my mom had gone to vietnam and i had to cook food for my dad. it was nice for the most part. my grandma does and can be reasonably nice to be around when she doesn't have anyone she wants to impress or someone who is trying to find something negative about someone else. that was a blessing that i did get to spend time with her when my mom left for a few weeks. we were able to just enjoy ourselves and just chat. i don't know if she will return, but may god bless her and watch over her at all times!!! anyway, fast fording here, smiles!!! On thursday of last week, we again were at the airport and this time, it was to pick up my grandma and mom from vietnam. my grandma is in her late 80's, but one would never notice! she walks pretty fast, can get up and down, plays with the great grandkids, is able to hold anna-lynn and walk around with her and she is about 20 or so pounds Anyway, i have been taking care of her while my parents are at work she really is a nice lady and easy to take care of, but i know she is pretty lonely. she is quite an interesting lady to talk with while we were walking one day, she asked me where was the chickens, cats, and dogs! she is used to being able to look right outside her little house and walk around ousdie and see cats chasing dogs, dogs chasing cats, cats chasing chickens, pigs, etc, etc, etc. she is so used to being able to walk over to her 2 sibblings houses and her other childrens' homes. i am sure she is so so bored here. after all, all she can see now is just cars going back and forth. she was amazed that pretty much every household has at least 2 cars
[RecipesAndMore] where has the time flown
hi anyone know where the time has flown with my anna-lynn? this mommy realizes now her baby is 9 months old, a very determined, happy, contented, for the most part obedient, laid back, good natured, knows what she wants, and smily baby!!! not only has she decided to remind dear old mommy how she can go up the stairs by crawling for the past almost month now, she loves to remind me how she can go back and forth on her own by holding onto something and sometimes even a few steps alone! she has to let me know that she knows how to feed herself, thank you, mommy dearest i will sometimes catch her with a spoon or fork in her hand and trying to feed herself and even at times when she feels like playing mommy, me too! actualy, she does a pretty good job she doesn't get too much everywhere, wo!!! she also tries to drink form a cup, smiles. she will take the napkin and wipe her mouth and when her nose is yucky, she will take a baby wipe and cute as a button, dab at her nose, wo!!! oh, i forgot to mention, this little turkey will put her hand into the gerber puff can, help herself to a few, eat it, get some more and when she is done, will try to put the top on. she hasn't realized until i help her that the lid goes right on top by pushing, not sliding, smiles. in the bath tub, she is so cute. she loves to splish splash with both hands and feet and loves to laugh at herself, smiles. she knows when it is bath time. she will go crawling fast as anything to the bathroom door, smiles. she is now in about 12-18 or sometimes even larger sizes depending on what it is. where is my newborn baby!! oh, she is a joy to have around she is different from her sibblings. they were mostly loud boys, but she is soft, knows what she wants, persistant, but in a quiet manner, smiles. she is serious, but very smily too. very observant and just seems to soak in everything now that i have wore you guys off from reading of my girl, i hope you did enjoy this proud mommy's baby moments stories, smiles. 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 -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

[RecipesAndMore] anna-lynn's update and mroe
hi today i took anna-lynn to the dr for her check up. she is now 10 months old. she weighs almost 21 pounds and is about 30 inches long thank god, she didn't have to have any shots!!! we went out to eat afterwords at a chinese buffet. she was so so adorable and fed herself and seemed to know just how to eat the various foods we gave to her. she thinks she is so grown up now. she is really clombing the stairs and she is a fast little thing she lets you hold her to nurse her, play with her a bit and then, she is on the go for such a baby, she has a loud voice, wo!!! she knows what she wants and when she has had enough!!! she is taking little steps on her own now and bending over and picking up toys, smiles. too grown up for her mommy in just 2 more months, my baby girl will be a year old! i neeed time to slow down god has truly blessed each of my children! matthew is his unique self as usual he is now into heart surgery, how the heart works, how to fix the heart etc, etc. he is on what is healthy, what isn't. he wanted to be a dr, but after showing him picutres and talking and so forth, he has decided it is too much work philip is 7. he is his usual hyper happy determined little self. however, he seems jealous so often when i say one of the other kids has done something good. Philip and joseph have a lot of the same temperments and thoughts. matthew and anna-lynn are more laid back and are more like one another. 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 -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

[RecipesAndMore] july 5th prayers
American Christians to Declare 'Dependence' on God By Michelle A. Vu Christian Post Reporter American Christians across the nation will band together the day after Independence Day to repent and pray for God to heal the country. Related George Barna: America Is Being Destroyed Inside Out The newly launched initiative Call2Fall, organized by the conservative Christian group Family Research Council, will focus on the spiritual and moral problems growing in the nation. America is a nation in moral crisis, says FRC President Tony Perkins. Four out of every ten children are born out of wedlock, and every day roughly 3,000 unborn children are aborted in our county. From homosexual 'marriage' to proposed curbs on religious speech, there are serious matters for the church to address, humbly and with great earnestness, before God. Held a day after Americans celebrate their independence, Call2Fall will be a day when Christians declare their dependence on God, Perkins explains. The name of the initiative means call to fall on our knees. Supporters of the July 5 prayer initiative echoed FRC's concerns during a media teleconference on Tuesday. They called on churches to mobilize members in prayer and repentance and for pastors to lead by example. We are seeing the crumbling of our nation economically, spiritually, and perhaps even militarily, said the Rev. Larry Stockstill, senior pastor of Bethany World Prayer Center in Louisiana. I feel that our only hope as a nation - there really isn't a new political agenda we can pull out of the hat or any other form of medicine for America - is prayer and fasting, he said. Dr. Richard Land, head of the public policy arm of the Southern Baptist Convention - the nation's largest Protestant denomination - said he believes Southern Baptists will be receptive to the initiative. Last fall, the SBC had organized its own prayer initiative for the presidential election that was joined by over 4,200 churches. We believe great movements of God always start with God's people humbling themselves and getting right with God, said Land, president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission. And we believe this is absolutely essential for our nation. With July 5 being a Sunday, churches are being called to have their entire congregation pray for at least three to five minutes for the spiritual health of their church and for America. Some churches, according to FRC, are holding a prayer event the entire day. I believe that we are going to see America changed, concluded Bishop Harry Jackson, Jr., founder of the High Impact Leadership Coalition and senior pastor of Hope Christian Church in Maryland. Call2Fall organizers hope to have eight million Christians participate in the prayer event and declare their dependence on God.

[RecipesAndMore] please pray for this family
this is so so sad. i just got this from another hs group!! Hello women! I don't usually post prayer requests of others, but this one breaks my heart. It is from another homeschool mom in my area.. please pray for her little boy if you get the chance...Email is below Michelle Hi Ladies, Most of you already know that our precious 2 year old Josiah has been hospitalized at CHOC. I've been there since yesterday. We ask for prayer. He hurt himself on a trampoline but seemed fine. We started noticing bruises from where he must have gotten pinned in between the springs. Over the next few days he started getting more and more unexplained bruises all over his body despite being carefully monitored. He then started getting nose bleeds vomiting and a fever. I started checking online and asking around online thinking he must be anemic or something and took him in. We thought it would be a quick check up, maybe that they'd give us some iron pills or something for him and be sent home. They did blood tests and are convinced he has either a blood disorder or cancer, ( leukemia) This has nothing to do with the trampoline incident and we are grateful to God that it happened or we wouldn't have taken him in. Only the Lord knows how long this would have gone undiagnosed. They have done so many tests and it is so awful to see my poor little baby get poked, prodded, and not allowed to nurse or eat. It is so heartbreaking and torturous to hear him screaming as they can't find his veins. I consider myself a very strong person but this has had me breaking down in tears. I'd give anything for it to be me instead. I have been crying out that the Lord would have mercy on this precious child. He is low on platelets, hemoglobin, and blood. They have given him platelets and blood. He had a bone marrow biopsy scheduled today but his blood doesn't look well enough to proceed and they don't want to risk him bleeding alot when he already has low blood. So it will hopefully be done tomorrow. I pray it's early as he doesn't understand why he cant eat, drink or nurse. I won't dare eat or drink in front of him so I haven't been eating either.. This has been so hard to leave the other kids to take care of him . I didn't understand God's decision to not allow us to buy the house we wanted in Riverside or Huatzin losing his job, but now I see his perfect timing. 1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. I don't know what I'd do if Huatzin had to work right now during this whole ordeal. I am overwhelmed at the kindness and love so many of you have displayed toward my family. Sweet Brenda even came to the hospital and stayed late last night to help explain some of the terminology and advocate for me. I often forget to eat or drink or ask for things that we need. I am home only for a quick time to ask for prayer, shower, and get back to my baby. PLEASE lift Josiah and our family in prayer. I was overwhelmed last night when I started contracting heavily before they even began the transfusions. I am praying God will be merciful and not let the baby come just yet. I CANNOT leave my two year old. I am all that he wants. I am ok with the thought of having a baby alone while Huatzin stays with him, though that isn't at all ideal, but would prefer this whole thing be taken care of before baby arrives. I am praying it's ITP (Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura) which he has the symptoms of, but isn't as bad as leukemia. I don't want to face having to decide to go the natural route for cancer treatment vs.. chemo. I forgot my bible at a friends house so I so appreciate all of you that texted over bible verses. It was so encouraging and helpful. Thanks for all the love and support. I am sorry I haven't returned many of your calls. The cell phone doesn't get very good reception at the hospital and we share a room with another family ( with a daughter with Leukemia ;-( so I try not to use the room phone often. I try to sleep as they wake him up every hour or so... It is hard as he is hooked up and wants to get down. I also have to wait to find a nurse to watch him while I go to the bathroom which is awful. It is uncomfortable, but I know there is a purpose for it all. One good thing about it, if it is leukemia, I am due any day and would be able to use the cord blood. Great timing but I'd REALLY prefer not to travel down that road! Thanks again Alida Rodriguez Family in all we do, we do for GOD in all we do, we do for GOD --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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] please keep this little girl in prayers
I would like a special prayer request for a family friend. Maggie (9 years old) was attending school last Friday, a week ago, and exhibited some unusual behavior, such as bumping into walls, stumbling, unable to read, so the teacher called the mom. The mom rushed her to the pediatrician's office in Texarkana, Tx, who sent her straight to Little Rock, Arkansas, where she was diagnosed with an fast-growing, inoperable cancerous tumor wrapped around the brain stem. She was kept over-night in Little Rock, then transferred to St. Judes' Children's Hospital in Memphis Tennessee. This sudden unexpected terminal illness coming on within 24 had devastated the family and friends, putting one grandfather in the hospital. This family desperately needs your prayers. Since arriving at St. Judes, they are trying to find a way to cope, and need all the prayers available. Here is the latest up-date: A few days ago, I found out about a friend's little 9 year old girl who had had no symptoms until last Friday, and within 18 hours, had been diagnosed with inoperable brain stem cancer. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for those prayers, as we know every one is heard and counted!! If you didn't get the individual email, here is an update, and your prayers will be so appreciated!. Please, please keep praying! Little Maggie Cobb, age 9, my family friends, diagnosed with brain-stem cancer 6 days ago has been put on the Caring Bridge website: http://caringbridge.org/visit/maggiecobb/photos I think the official name of the brain stem cancer is: DIPG She was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) (suspected) close to my home, sent to Texarkana, TX for confirmation, forwarded to a neurosurgeon at Children's Hospital in Little Rock, AR by Friday night/Saturday morning to make 'a plan', and arrived at St. Judes' Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee on Sunday night/Monday morning, ..and now the family has decided to 'attempt chemo' along with other treatments (last up-date today). I think it was the only thing the doctors were willing to attempt with this form of cancer to maybe slow the progression. Further decisions will depend on how welll Maggie tolerates the treatments, and how much stress or discomfort it may cause, as each person is different. I guess we never know what we would do under such desperate circumstances. If you go to: http://caringbridge.org/visit/maggiecobb/photos ..you can see her family and her photos, and leave a prayer message. The family reads the messages to her every day, so they are much appreciated. You will have to give your name and email address in order to view her photos and read the family's updates, as well as leave a prayer message for Maggie, but it is a secure site. Maggie knows she is ill, but not the full extent of the problem, and hopes for improvement. I'm sure anyone who has a minute extra would be greatly blessed by having visited with this angelic child for even just a moment on the website. Life can turn on a moment's notice, and none of us know when that moment may be. Thought for the day: Last week, Maggie's grand dad, Roger, explained to her that the 'big brown bear' stuffed animal she wanted was unreasonable. YESTERDAY, he called and emailed everyone he knew asking them to please find and purchase the biggest brown bear available and send 'Overnight mail' to Maggie at St. Judes in Memphis! Roger is a very religious man, as is his family, but in the midst of his prayers, he wanted Maggie 'somehow' to have that big brown bear he had denied her last week. You can bet Roger will make sure Maggie has that big brown bear, but it will only arrive loaded with prayers! Her grandfather has had Maggie at his home every weekend of her life, helped her build a treehouse, took her everywhere with him, and spent untold hours 'playing' with this dear child. Now, in this hour of crisis, a 'big brown bear' will temporarily make Maggie happy while we all send our heart-felt, most sincere Prayers to Heaven for the tender care and comfort of this little child of God. As parents, and grandparents, let us not forget to say 'Thank You' to God for every moment and every tiny blessing! If you didn't receive my first request for Prayers for Maggie, please pray now! Thanks so much! Hugs, Becky in all we do, we do for GOD --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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] the martins
here is an update on the martin clan!!! philip is tickled!!! he has finished school for the moment. he finished with his test last thursday so this week, they are taking a break and next week or so we will learn braille, sign language, and maybe a little bit spanish/other languages and just review! philip is tickled that he is done and the other kids are still finishing up school in public school i took anna-lynn and joseph to the dr today. jojo had to get one shot and anna-lynn two. anna-lynn is 25 pounds and about 31 inches and she is almost 18 months old. joseph is 30 pounds and about 41 inches. they both did well, but the dr seems to think that joseph needs help because he didn't talk to her a lot. she aksed him how old he was and he wouldn't answer right away. i tried to explain to her thathe jusdt doesn't talk to people unless he knows them well and he hasn't seen this dr much. he finally did talk a bit to her, but she claims he isn't speaking in sentences. she asked him what color whas his pants, how old was he and he just gave easy answers lik 3 for how old are you and blue for his pants color. i don't see how she can evaluate that he can't talk from just two little questions. sometimes i honestly think they make too much of a deal for no reason!!! anyway, besides that, all went well. joseph was really cute when he got his shot. he just said all calmly, ou and when the nurse asked him if it hurt he said calmly very much so!!! Anna-lynn was so cute because she kept showing me the chair and having me sit down. Anna-lynn is so sweet and so serious and cute!!! she is so grown up now!! i love putting dresses on her and she loves to wear dresses more so then regular pants/shirts. se already loves to pick out her clothes!!! She loves to point and heave me touch what she thinks is pretty. when you ask her what is pretty, she points to it and laughs and claps her hands. Matthew is very wise when it comes to god and he loves to talk about god. all the boys love to play church!!! the boys do some crazy things, but they do have love for each other, love for god, and love to help everyone!! in all we do, we do for GOD in all we do, we do for GOD --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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] good prayer
VERSE: If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. -- 2 Chronicles 7:14 THOUGHT: In today's Scripture, which occurs immediately after the dedication of the Temple, God told Solomon that the Temple would be a place his people could come and be assured that their prayers would be heard if they honestly and humbly would seek God. This promise is true still, to this very day, for while God's physical Temple isn't standing, his spiritual one is found in the gathering of his people (cf. 1 Cor. 3:16; Matt. 18:20). While we know that God hears our individual prayers, what a great blessing and what a powerful promise for God's people today! We know that when we gather with believers and humble ourselves before God and seek his presence he will hear us. Rather than wait for a grandiose, world-wide effort to start, why not get together regularly with others who will join us in this prayer effort? PRAYER: Loving Father, earnestly I seek your presence now. Please forgive me for my sin. Please use me to be an influence for good in my time. Most of all, Father, please move to bring revival and healing to our time, our people, and our land. We desperately need your guidance, blessing, and character in our government and among our people. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. in all we do, we do for GOD --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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] very good poem
- Thought you all would enjoy this email from Precept Headquarters. Read when you have an opportunity, otherwise delete it. Irene Green Eggs And I AM By Elizabeth Wallace My seminary course in Trinitarianism included several class lectures on I AM in the Bible. I wrote the following piece to fulfill the assignment of a creative project having to do with the Trinity. I have wondered if Jesus had come at a different time how he would have communicated with His children. The following is a result of two greats in my life coming together: God, the ultimate lover of my soul, and Dr. Seuss, who had a love of the simple things of life. If Dr. Seuss had written theology books, instead of classics such as Green Eggs and Ham, I think it would have gone a little something like this. Green Eggs And I AM My name? I AM. I am I AM, I AM I am. I AM here, I AM there, I am I AM everywhere. Father, Son, and Spirit are we. We are one, but we are three. I AM here, I AM there, I am I AM everywhere. One in Three and Three in One, Jesus is God, Jesus is Son. Spirit's Power, Father's Plan, Nail scars in the Son's pierced hands. What, you exclaim, How can that be? S, my child, just rest in me. I will not be put in a box. I will not let you worship an ox. I created it all-the family, the mountain, the tree- We created it all, so you could grasp the we. I will call you here and there, And I will go with you everywhere. I AM here, I AM there. I am I AM everywhere. Confused, uncertain, and having doubt? Give up now, you won't figure it out. Father, Son, and Spirit are we. We are one, but we are three. Adonai, Yahweh, Savior, Friend- The aspects of me never end. I will not be defined by just one name, But I will love you just the same So what should you do? How should you react? Learn enough truth to guard against attack. Then let go of questions like Why? And raise your voice in praise toward the sky. Never to leave is my promise to you. Stay focused, listen to me, and follow through. Wherever I lead, wherever you go, I'll be there, too, just continue to grow. I am I AM, I AM I am On a train In the rain In a box With a fox On a boat With a goat Anywhere, everywhere you may go, I am I AM is all you need to know.

[RecipesAndMore] praise god for this
Soldiers getting an earful of Jesus Allie Martin - OneNewsNow - 7/8/2009 7:00:00 AM An audio Bible ministry is getting the entire New Testament -- in compact form -- to troops through military chaplains. It is all part of the Military BibleStick project by Faith Comes By Hearing. The ministry has developed a portable, digital audio Bible for the military, loaded it with the entire New Testament, and is sending those to chaplains who request them. Ministry spokesman Troy Carl tells OneNewsNow the Military BibleStick project is strengthening the faith of soldiers -- and changing the lives of others. One of the things that's been so touching to us is how military men and women share their BibleStick with those who maybe are not of faith, and how those people have been impacted by the truth of the scripture, he shares. They're coming to an understanding of who Jesus was and why he was sent to the earth -- and a lot of that has come as a result of other military members sharing their BibleStick with those who are nonbelievers. So that's been very exciting. According to the ministry, the BibleStick -- which is about the size of a pack of chewing gum -- was designed intentionally for use in low-light situations where reduced visibility is critical. It has a matte black finish, matte black ear buds, and a red-light-only operation. So far more than 10,000 audio Bibles have been given to service members in Iraq, Kosovo, and Afghanistan. in all we do, we do for GOD --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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] Re: Update On Dan
oh this is wonderful news!!! praise the lord! in all we do, we do for GOD - Original Message - From: Lora Leggett To: chocoholicc...@yahoogroups.com Cc: cooking-frie...@yahoogroups.com ; recipesandmore@googlegroups.com ; ire-c...@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 11, 2009 12:23 AM Subject: [RecipesAndMore] Update On Dan We have good news about my brother, Dan. Dan was released from the hospital at around 10:15 Thursday evening where he had a brief stay in the emergency room after being released earlier that day. Our son brought him back to our house where we talked a couple hours and then he spent the night on our couch. Then early Friday morning our son took him to his work where he picked up his car and got several prescriptions. He is back home where he needs to rest, recover, and become used to changes in diet and several different medications. He is a diabetic now and there are conditions that are being monitored with his heart, bladder, blood thinners, injections and I can't think of much more. But he has lost some weight, is looking well rested, speaking and breathing easier. And all the wondering and uncertainty is over. There is a long road ahead but i am happy he got there in time to catch all of these conditions and have a lot of options for treatment. We are happy to have him back. Our son, George Elvis, will do some more of the work that Dan had done for us during the last ten years as a service provider and of course a great brother.
