I approached today as if it were any other day...it's hard not to when you've been dealing with sick kids for 2 weeks, being run down yourself from the viruses and multiple wakings at night. I started thinking about this year...this milestone that I have reached. 1 year cancer free!
Huge when you look at cancer statistics...most recurrence happens in the first year. Every...

As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess!

I am feeling better. It is possible the person did not really mean to hurt my feelings the other day. I am just going to let it go. these days I definitely believe in forgive and forget. As we all know, life is short.

YOu know, it ccurs to me that God has been so good to me and I have failed to adequately give HIm the credit and thanks He so deserves. YOu know throughout all my illness, GOd has lifted me up and taken care of not only me, but my needs. Even before I have realized I had a need sometimes, God has meant them. What is cool is the unique and unusual ways that He has met the needs. He is so good. I w...1 Recommendation10 Comments

I think we can all agree tonight is a historic night. Regardless of how you feel about Obama I hope we are all inspired by the amazing turnout and the emotional investment in this election we have never seen before.
