One Final Word
My dear friend Michele slipped into eternity on Wednesday, February 1. She was a remarkable woman who left a legacy of faith, determination, and love. For three years she courageously battled the ovarian cancer that eventually robbed her of her life. A few days before she died, one of her docto

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated
My husband told me that there are rumors that I've died. I'm happy to report that I'm still very much alive. My cancer has gone to stage four but we are controlling it with chemo, the cancer numbers are currently in the normal range. I've stopped blogging to concentrate on my daughters and writing a

An update and a prayer request
Several people have asked about Michele's condition, and have promised to pray for her. On her behalf, I thank you for that. I spoke with her a little while ago, and she asked that I come here and tell you what's going on, and to ask you to pray for her. She isn't able to post here herself right

Rest in peace, Internet Monk.
A man known in the cyber world as The Internet Monk, has died. Michael Spencer lost his battle with cancer tonight.
My prayers go out for his family and for all those who loved and will miss him. :(

The peace that passes all understanding, pt. 1
I'm coming out of my normal hiding place to make a few comments.
The internet is a strange place. It is often a wonderful place, a helpful place, a unifying place. But it is also alienating, cold, and is the perfect medium in which to depersonalize others.
Through it, I have seen people reach out

Please be advised that I am currently unemployed, a widow and a single parent. I have worked all my life and went to college in hopes to give my children a good, loving home. I give the best I can, but for some reason bad things keep coming, even when I don’t ask. See, I lost my husband 3 1/2 years ago and since then, I have been raising 3 children on my own, where we lost our home the minute he died and then I almost lost my job, but with prayers, I kept the job up until now. Recently I lost my mother, 3 1/2 months ago, then I lost my home again and then my car was repoed and now just one month ago, I lost my job. At my work, I lost my job because I took a break.
It can be very difficult in this world, but keep in mind that there is always someone who has it worse. I believe planning is important, but unfortunately everything does not go as planned. At least you have someone to help and you don’t have others to take care of. The good Lord is there to see us through and because I believe so strongly that he has a plan, I just do my best and hope. Using retirement funds may be the answer for a short term, but adventually these funds are exhausted. I have some retirement funds I could get, but $18,000. will only carry me for 5 months. Also, I have a child under insurance who has a brain tumor and my insurance will only go through until Feb., then I don’t know what to do. The answers are not always the obvious, but I know I’m looking. Where there is a will, there is a way and I believe in this statement, so I believe the more I try, the more I will achieve.
Knowing that some people have caused certain things to happen, others have not. Since I am one of those that did not know I was jeoperdizing mine and my children’s future, I had no idea so many things would occur. I will say my prayers and Hope!

A very difficult situation Diana, my prayers are with you. If you have anything small you need on an Amazon wish list or something, and feel comfortable posting a link, I’d be happy to look at it.
I might sumbit that your case is a pretty good illustration of the need to have term life insurance. It’s really inexpensive these days. Hopefully your misfortune can warn others.

Are we supposed to feel sorry for the couple?
Yes. It’s called compassion. That’s apparently a word with which “God’s Frozen Chosen” aren’t familiar.

Hey, your name. If I wreck my car tommorow and I don’t have insurance, will you feel “compassion” for me and pay for it, just because I was too lazy to plan ahead?

Just for the record, the Your Name above wasn’t the Your Name who addressed Michele in the post about compassion.
And last time I checked, being self employed isn’t exactly the same thing as driving without insurance. But leave it to a Christianist to make a ludicrous equivocation. You know, like birth control and murder, gay marriage and bestiality, or reality and mythology.
In the fairy-world where Jesus lives, up is down, left is right, and the world was created in 6 days.
