Mamie had trouble getting comfortable all night, due mostly to difficulty breathing. She was not in much pain or terrible discomfort, but she just couldn't stay comfortable in one position for any length of time. At 6:40 this morning (Thursday) I asked her if she wouldn't be more comfortable if I gave her a pain pill, and she said OK. She took the pill and I held the glass of water while she drank through a straw. About five minutes later she left quietly and easily to live with Jesus.I invite you to share stories of things you remember about her in the guestbook.Most people remember her as a very happy little girl, even when things weren't going well. We need to remember that she is happier now than she has ever been. She will have so much to tell us when we see her again. People have been asking about donations. Camp Smile-a-Mile would be a good one (see link on this page) or St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. If you have seen this year's calendar with her Halloween artwork on the October page, that was a fundraiser for the Janie Sims Foundation, for which contributions can be sent to:The Janie Sims Children's FoundationP.O.

The Knock-Knock Book: If I Hear God Knocking, Do You Think I Should Answer?

Five women from Huntsville, Alabama, had nothing better to do one day than write a book about God knocking in their lives. The result of this challenge was that each one of us had to think about what this meant, and when we all finally got on the same track, we realized something rather mind-boggling: There were many times God had given us opportunities (the Knock-Knocks) to shine in His light and share His story of love, and we had missed some of them. However, being the patient God that He is, we also found out that we had actually heard His knock and done something about it, sometimes not even realizing we were answering a call at the time. He does work in mysterious ways!

French Women Don't Get Fat
NOT TAKEN BY ME!!

It took less than a week for me to get back into my harried life - eating on the run, shoving food in my mouth while I talked on a conference call and simultaneously completed and emailed reports. I was back to the fast lane and fast food take out. The French have less than an 11% obesity rate (and ours is 30% and climbing.)

The French simply eat the freshest food in season, they enjoy what they eat and they walk every where! We cannot avoid food. We need it to survive. But we can choose fresh foods in season that we love, make meals with a few favorite ingredients and savor every bite.

Once we slow down and let our taste buds enjoy great food again, we will give our stomachs the twenty or so minutes it needs to signal - hey that was delicious but I am done now. You can stop. Save the rest for another time. Granted, we should not use food as a deterrent for issues we are not dealing with in life. We need to ask - what exactly is eating me right now? And deal with it.

Get help from books like Life is Hard Food is Easy by Linda Spangle, or from professional therapists.
