    Hi Everybody!
    It's been SO long since I've posted on here but have tried to keep up!

    Bargoo, I"m really sorry about your shoulder! OUCH! Sounds so painful. I'll be praying for you!

    Wilma: I got into the Halloween candy last night too - it made me so mad but the 4 little goblins in our house brought home a pillowcase of candy EACH! Oh my - and anything you can think of they had. I didn't have any today and that is very miraculous for me because in the past if I went off a diet, that was it - I stayed off.

    Gary: I guess things are settling down out there? The news said the fires are dwindling down some? I hope so.

    AJ broke his foot today. That poor kid always has something or other. He fell off the bus and now he has a cast and crutches. But, he has a great attitude and is LOVING everyone waiting on him!

    Everyone have a great weekend and I'll try to keep up better here in the future!

    Praying for all of you!
    Lori

    Lori, sorry to hear about AJ. I'm glad to see he is seeing a silver lining to his predicament!

    bargoo - we will continue to keep you in prayer. God can and does do miraculous things!

    Wilma - way to go getting back on track! I didn't buy any candy - only raisins, pretzels and pencils. I didn't think I could keep my fingers out of the bowl!

    Gary - GREAT weigh in! Here's hoping that it stays down!

    Rosebud - LOVE the poem! How wonderful and true!

    Shy - lowering your sodium certainly won't hurt you, so why don't you give it a try? Keep us posted on your progress

    Things are going well here. I had 3 people take me out to eat for my birthday, so I have had to face restaurant menus for the last 3 days. I think I did really well, but the weigh-in this weekend will be the true measure! I took fruit to work for my birthday treat and they scarfed it up at an amazing speed. It went much better than the desserts that folk usually bring.

    Blessings to all!

    I do appreciate all your prayers. I am fortunate in having a church that believes in praying for each other as well.

    Shy, I am sometimes the same way, pick something close in Fitday and don't micromanage the nutritional data. It has bitten me a couple times too! Glad you caught the error. GREAT job in managing the sodium. It has never been an issue for me, but I eat pretty clean and don't add much salt to things. An occasional glass of V8 is probably my worst offender.

    If I don't get a chance to post this weekend - I hope everyone has a fun and OP one! Blessings to all!

    Gary, we have had similar debates in our district over prayer at graduation and baccalaureate services. The law is pretty clear. As long as it is student led. We also have a nativity in our city park, and Christmas carols at our Christmas concerts.

    We are incredibly blessed to have a school superintendent that is a devout Christian. All of our building administrators are Christians with deep faith commitments and public acknowledgment of their faith. We are a blessed community and our students are fortunate to be able to thrive in an atmosphere that encourages and supports faithful living. I count my blessings every day in this regard!

    Laurie ~ I believe in the separation of church and state. What makes me mad is how low some people can be when all that happened was a few kids praying for their friend that was injured terribly...what makes some people even want to complain about that...are they really that miserable inside?

    Gary, that WAS a rhetorical question - right?
    Of course, they are that empty and miserable inside. Everyone has a God-shaped hole that can only be filled with - well - God! For those that have not found out this truth, they will continue to be ...

    Thanks, Gary! He's feeling better and wanting to play kickball and stuff with the kids - NOW he's GROUCHY!!!
    Would you all believe at our middle school concert a few weeks ago they sang "Who will be a Witness to the Lord"? I couldn't believe it but was very very happy and even happier that nobody left or made an issue out of it - public school!!! Unbelievable!!
