A........A........A......Aachooo! Ow.

Yeah, I said ow. Apparently somewhere between Arizona, El Paso and home I managed to take on a hitchhiker. This bug is really annoying. It keeps turning the faucet called my nose on and off at its whim, which sometimes causes it to back up and then go out wherever there is an escape. My nostrils, my throat....ugh! This nasty little beastie also is thinking that making my eyes water is fun, oh, and for giggles keeps tickling my throat to see how much I can cough and if I can cough enough to gag a few times. I hate cold bugs. Really, I do.

No one really knows where this bug comes from. Sometimes he rides on the wind when someone sneezes or coughs. Sometimes he chills on a doorknob or another type of handle.  Sometimes he hitches a ride with the airborne pollen. This critter I think did a little of all three. And he's mighty handy in his profession, I might add.

This critter apparently got to the Mom-in-law and niece before it got to me, or perhaps the Hubby brought it home from work. They like work places, fertile grounds there to grow more nasties. Keyboards, office supplies, doors, chairs, closed in offices. I hate cold bugs. **cough, cough**

The first day or two I figured this was just my allergies showing up for a visit. I take my Zyrtec and they are out the door like bad cheese. I took my meds for two days and this bugger got worse....chills, no fever, dehydrated, coughing, sneezing **sniffle, sniffle**, runny nose, no appetite. Stupid bug. Now my throat is sore, its distant cousin strep had best not show up, I'll have to pull out the big guns and go the the doctor for the z-pack.

Oh, and did I mention that its time for a fibro flare up? I didn't, did I? Yeah, it figured that somebody said mambo so it said, "sure, I'll party". Fibro flare has been with me for two days. Can't do anything for very long, including sitting. Maybe sleeping is OK, but to sleep all day is really not an option, I have stuff to do, which I can't because it hurts. Reading hurts. My hair hurts. I thought parties were supposed to be fun.

OK, so I'm getting out of the really odd blog for today. Hopefully the real me will be back in a day or two.
Have a great Mother's Day all of you moms out there!

Urgent Plea for Help

URGENT PLEA FOR HELP ***UPDATE*** While there is still quite a bit of work to do, we here in Houston are well on the road to recovery. There are still some who have not had someone in to evaluate their situations, but Recovery Teams and FEMA are doing their best to get to those in need. We still covet your prayers for all involved. For the teams that are going in to do the initial assessments, the mud-outs, and the repair work...for the FEMA teams and most especially for the families who's lives have been affected by the flooding. With more rain on the way, some things will have to be put on hold until areas are dry. Thank you so much for all of your previous prayers and support. Please keep praying. Thanks, L. Good morning, Everyone! Have a question for all of you. Have you been blessed by God today? I know a good deal of you will give a resounding "yes!" to that question, and that's a wonderful thing. But. Here in Houston, there are some who

Until we walk those streets of gold together, rest in peace, dear Debi.

I sat here and looked at my blank screen for quite a while. I want to say so much, but I don't know what to say or where to start. My first best friend, my Sister-Cousin Debi, has gone to Glory. Its not as if we didn't expect her passing, because we did. We knew this was coming, even with all of the prayers for complete healing, we still knew. And, I daresay, we mentioned to God for His will to be done, knowing that He was finishing his preparation for her to go Home, but still we held out hope. Debi was released to home hospice I think about three weeks ago, with the warning that she had between 48 hours and two months left. There was hopeful news in there, too...her lungs were clear as a bell. It made me think we were on an upward trend, and encouraged me to continue to pray for healing. But in the back of my mind, I knew. Lord, I knew that her time was limited. So I went down there to her one more time. I spent more time with her...I made her laugh, checked her throwing

Jesus wept.

Jesus wept. That is the shortest verse in the entire Bible, but it speaks volumes about Him. Jesus, fully God and fully Man. Human from stem to stern. To say that He never experienced what we do now is, according to this verse, totally false. He encountered racism, segregation, slavery, bias, prejudice...joy, anger, the gamut of emotions, and no doubt He even encountered counter-cultures, but none of it, not one iota of it can compare to the emotion of grief. To put it bluntly, today, Jesus can relate with me, and with others who are going through the process of grief. In the Bible, Jesus was ministering to those around Him when He got word that one of His dearest friends was very ill, close to death. He acknowledged the news, and continued healing and teaching.  After two more days, Jesus told them that they needed to go to Judea, so that He may "wake" Lazarus. Confused, the Apostles queried that if Lazarus was asleep, then surely he would get better. Jesus had to be blunt
