A Prayer Request

The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.
~Hubert H. Humphrey

Hi folks, I'm humbly asking please, for prayers of healing for my Gram. She had a stroke yesterday and is in the hospital back home now. The distance from here to there is taking hold. My family and I sincerely thank you.

"Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven." James 5:13-15

The Dare Rope

7/20/2009 My friend Lisa suggested we start a 'Dare Rope' (she has a 'Dare Chair' which I love, check it out on her blog-Surviving the Hood..Motherhood That Is). The premise is this: a little urging to get out of our comfort zones is healthy! This gadget is meant to provide the kick in pants we need;) I'll dare us once in a while in the blog posts (there will be a Grab the Dare Rope alert and I'll highlight them oh, say, violet or something) then we can choose to grab ahold and accept the dare...or not. But I think we should cause they'll be good dares;) Thanks Lis great idea! Here's to hanging on!!!

Archive: The Dealer

7/16/09 I admit it seemed shady from the start. I found him in an add off Craigslist, his email instructed me to leave my number, you know one of those "don't call me I'll call you" kind of set ups. We agreed to meet at high noon in the mini mall parking lot off Glen Hwy. and Muldoon. He'd bring 2 sizes, a large and a medium (military issued). I would choose when I tried them on. I was early (nervous)not wanting to miss him and make sure of my surroundings. He pulled up in his shiny, red corvette (must be a big demand for winter gear in these parts,I observed). He popped the trunk. Looking around he said,"Back here." and gestured as he moved toward the rear of the fancy car. "You stay here." I whispered to Mom as I approached the trunk and peered in. Hum, I wondered to myself...as he looked around again and pulled out the first one, the medium. I slipped it on certain I looked suspicious standing in the unusually hot sun of the Alaska afternoon wearing a (for extreme weather-he assured me) parka. Not wanting to linger and draw any more attention to our business transaction I shoved the money in his hand, he shut the trunk and sped away, leaving me squinting through the snorkel of my purchase. "Let's get outa here!" I yelled through the muffling hood to Mom as I made a beeline for the Civic, dodging an older lady coming across the parking lot from KFC with her chicken basket. What mattered was that the deal was done, I had my parka I would be warm this winter. Okay, maybe it didn't go down just like that but I bet it was pretty close;)

Archive: Filleting Fish Is An Art

6/29/09 Okay, Jake and I were the rookies on the river. We are just learning the ropes. I give us both credit for jumping in and trying a hand at filleting those slippery buggers. I admit mine weren't the best fillets but I got most of the meat off, sort of, in chunks and pieces that were kind of attached to eachother, mostly. So I don't think its necessary for my mom (currently part of the vaccum seal assembly line) to loudly and painfully proclaim, "Oh, boy this must be another one of Rachel or Jake's." I didn't see her fumbling away trying to keep the 'knife along the backbone'. Noooooooooo, she stood back pretending to supervise.
