Out of Surgery

So I just spoke with Ben, and my mom has just gotten out of surgery. The doctor was pleased with the way everything went and said that he didn't find any 'surprises' once he got in there. It was a golf-ball size tumor and he said that as far as he can tell right now, it didn't spread. They will be doing more extensive testing on the tumor.

This is such great news. Thank you to all of you who kept her in your prayers. I know that there are some cancers that are not as bad as others and some that have an outstanding recovery rate. From what I have been told and have read, this is one of the more mild cancers. However, sometimes just hearing the words cancer, tumor, bleeding mass, etc. is enough to send you into a spinning world of worst case senarios, which is exactly what happened to at least me and I am sure others. After the initial shock of the news you kind of sit back and realize that there is nothing that you can do to change it or make it better, you just have to ride it out and keep the prayers going and have enough faith to know that God has a plan and you can't mess with it, so don't try.

So, again thanks to all for keeping those prayers going and please don't let them stop now as we are not completely out of the woods.

Love to all

PEANUT POWER!

This was Miguel's science fair project this year. He tested to see if a peanut had enough 'energy' to keep a fire going long enough to heat a container of water.

It does.

Marvelous Insight?

So, as you can see from my 'links' on the side of the page, I have quite a few people that I check on almost daily. Most of the time, there are a few of them that have posted nothing but some profound insight to something. Posts that are really deep and sound like they took a lot of thought.

Well, I just wanted all who read my blog, however often, that there is a 99.999999999% chance that you will not see that here. I just didn't want you to get your hopes up everytime you click on my link to see 'what's up'.

Please feel free to browse any of the links that I have, whether you know the person or not, and take advantage of thier insight.

Love to all
