    Quiet in the wagon circle.  Took a walk around the perimeter and this is what I saw.  A place of peace and comfort.  A place to reflect - think about our past, present, and future and where life will be leading us.  Hoping everyone has a wonderful day filled with lots of love, sunshine and support.

    SoCal:  I think I might just have that not fat pizza recipe.  Thought about how to prepare it, now putting it all together and saying its fantastico will be another thing.

    Have a great day - one and all.

    Good morning circle.  I'm getting my first cup of coffee and looking over all the wagons we have circled around the camp.  Lots are still sleeping, but some of you are up and working around the camp, gardening, walking, and enjoying a beautiful day.

     Nicki, my school is small, and even if history is my main subject area, sometimes we have to fill in and teach other classes as needed.  I taught Algebra in CA for many years, and it actually was my first love.  I've also taught Spanish in the past, so I'm familiar with these classes, just need to do some brush up.  Economics falls under my department as social studies.  I am still teaching 7th grade history, US History, and World History.  It's going to be a busy year.

    Fat free pizza sounds wonderful. I need to find that recipe.

    Madison - so happy you got some good news. PHEW!!

    SoCal - i just want to pinch that babies cheeks - too cute!!

     Well I'm off to do a little retail therapy.

    oh slonedeb, I am so sorry you are going through this hard time. Losing faith can be devastating. Sometimes it's all we have. Please know that I am here for you in TN. We are neighbors. Sounds like you are on a Taxene drug. I know that is what happened when I was on Taxotere. Once you are off the drug, things DO get better. My legs no longer hurt, I can taste and I just feel better. I felt the same way....I wanted to quit...then the feeling passed and I begged for my last dose which they did not want to give me because I was so bad off. 

    As for taste, banana's and anything flavored with bananas was good. Banana pudding, popsicles, tropical fruit creme savers. Somehow I could kind of taste the bananas.

    The circle is tightly around you now and we'll support you. I am sending you a big cyber hug and a prayer. My faith is strong now and I will use it for you.  I know you've probably heard God never gives us more than we could handle. I used to tell God that he confused me with someone stronger. I hate when I feel helpless over someone's pain and grief. I wish I could help. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

    Such a cute baby, socallisa. Love the two front teeth!

    I will say a prayer for Bill, livestrong. Waiting is hard.

    slonedeb, I am here, honey.  I wish I knew what to say.  When my mom was in so much pain I had a lot of questions.  She kept telling me not to ever doubt God, that He was going to take care of her, and in the end, she went home to Him.  I believe that God understands when we have questions and doubts.  I believe that He loves us even when we feel we can't love him.  I know that He loves you.  My own personal belief is that God doesn't cause bad things to happen.  But when they do happen, he is with us all the way.  We just have to look to him and trust him to know what is best in the long run. You are so ill sweet deb and it doesn't seem to be getting any better.  Perhaps it is time to quit worrying and just think about where you are and what you want to do.  Stay off  your feet and try to lessen the pain. Pain fogs our minds up so quickly.   I would like to offer a prayer for you and for all who suffer here and hope I have offended no one.

    Dear Father in Heaven... I know that you are a merciful God.  I humbly ask you Lord to come and dwell among us now.  This is a special hour of need for us.  We are hurting, sad, scared and lonely.  Thank you for our circle finding its way back together.  Thank you for each sister here who reaches out to the rest of us as we reach back.  I pray especially for debbie slone.... dear Lord please be with her.  Let her feel your presence and take away her pain.  Help her to know what to do, and give her assurance that you do love her and are with her.  Be with each sister here Lord.  They are each so special to me.  Take away pain and disease.  Replace it with comfort and peace.  It is in the name of your precious son, Jesus, I pray.  Amen

    As Puppy always says... Jesus take the wheel....

    SloneDeb-

    You are always in my prayers.  Those dark days are hard. on days when I don't seem to have the energy to pray, or I feel like God is not listening to me, it gives me great comfort to know that my friends and family are praying for me.  I hope you can take that same comfort knowing we are praying for you

    Hugs

    Dear Sweet Deb....You have been so strong through this battle. I agree with Pam, God doesn't cause bad things to happen, we have pain, unhappiness, etc because of sin coming into the world due to the fall of Adam and Eve. It is much easier to be spiritual when things are going well for us, try to recall what Christ went through for us and that always gives me strength.

    We were never promised that we would have no trials, pain or problems but that we would be provided the faith to endure.  Ask for strength, we have not because we ask not.

    Gracious God, all around me people are suffering. I do not understand the reasons for suffering, I know that you are a God of Love, A God of Compassion; I pray that you will be with Deb. Wrap your arms of Grace around her; let her know she is in your embrace. Lord let her know that she can just crawl up in your lap for comfort because she is your child and that she may find comfort in this. I ask these things in the name of our Lord.    Amen

    Hi everyone.  Slonedeb, I hate that you feel you are losing your faith.  I will keep you in my prayers.  I haven't been posting as much lately.  We are getting closer to school starting and I've been a little distracted.  Thank you Pam and Doris for your prayers.  Speaking of prayer, we had a special teacher's meeting tonight.  Our school is going through an unexpected transition and a lot of us were really sad and depressed.  We spent a lot of time coming together as a staff and board of education in prayer for our school, students, teachers and all the concerns we have.  I came home feeling refreshed and even excited again about the upcoming school year.  I am so glad we had this meeting.

    Lisa, glad to hear you are ok.  My sister was in a gym in Walnut and had to be evacuated.  She said it was pretty scary, but they are ok.  My niece still had oxygen tanks in her house for her babies, but so they were a little nervous, but there were no problems.  Scary!  I hope all southern cal people are ok.
