I will be getting off of the computer and probably won’t be back on until Saturday. I don’t know if I will be taking my lap top to the hospital or not. I won’t know the exact time for my surgery until after 4 tonight, but I know it was...

The Soap Factory Dark Chocolate body soap bar made with olive oil and coconut oil is amazing stuff. When I get my infusion of Rituximab I get seriously dry skin. It flakes, it itches, and my skin feels like sandpaper. The only thing that I have found that works...

I will start this post out by saying what a ride these last couple of days. First Sunday, I had to go to the emergency room. I have not gone to the ER in almost a year. I woke up Sunday coughing which signals that I need to change my trach. I do not have...

“The Power of Persistent Prayer” by Cindy Jacobs is a comprehensive study on the different ways of praying and being an intercessor for God. I learned a great deal reading Jacob’s book. Reading her book coincided with Beth Moore’s book “Praying God’s Word” that...

“The Sacred Year” by Michael Yankoski book is amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed reading every word. He goes on a sojourn in discovering himself and his relationship with God. I felt a kinship with Yankoski in that he explored silence, praying, and community during...
