Hey girl, we know when you’re here or not here! We’d love
to see you here more often. Hope to see you back soon,
TCP!!
I promise to visit more often.

I did have a neat thing happen since March.
I don’t know if you remember my post (perhaps it was in early April) about a food allergy test I did back then...it has been quite a miracle. I tested positive for all dairy, eggs,beef, peanuts,wheat, several spices,garlic, soy, all beans other than garbanzo (chick peas), green beans, some nuts, the list is rather long. I was tested for 200 foods.
I had really bad itchy, watery, blurry eyes last winter. Also fatigue, insomnia and steady weight gain over the last 5 years.
When I got my test results, I stopped eating all my sensitive foods (I don’t have acute allergic reactions, but delayed sensitivities).
Well I started losing weight right away, and now I have lost 25 pounds total. This is without any added excercise. I eat so healthy. I’ve learned what I can eat and I am eating better than I ever had.
Within a week I was taking 40 percent less insulin. The allergens had been attacking me like a cold or flu does, so when the attacking allergens left me, my insulin needs dropped to what they were 15 years ago when I got diabetes.
This weight loss has been a miracle. I am fitting into jeans I thought I’d never fit into again. I take so little insulin it’s quite amazing. Only 2 units for breakfast and if I am active, I don’t need any for a light lunch.
Now we’re all caught up!
Blessings, TCP
For nearly a year, a former publishing colleague lived under a cloud of fear that he would be fired. A new boss in the department, for reasons unknown, began filling his personnel file with negative comments. Then, on the day my friend expected to lose his job, the new boss was fired instead.
When the Israelites were taken as captives to Babylon, a Jew named Mordecai found himself in this kind of situation. Haman, the highest noble of King Xerxes, expected every royal official to kneel down and honor him, but Mordecai refused to bow to anyone but God (Est. 3:1-2). This outraged Haman and he set out to destroy not only Mordecai but every Jew in the whole Persian empire (vv.5-6). Haman convinced Xerxes to sign a decree authorizing the destruction of all Jews and started building a gallows for the execution of Mordecai (5:14). But, in a startling turn of events, Haman was executed on the gallows he had built for Mordecai, and the Jewish people were spared (7:9-10; 8).
In literature, this is called poetic justice. Not everyone gets justice in such dramatic fashion, but Scripture promises that God will one day avenge all injustice (Rom. 12:19). While we wait, we are to do what we can to work for justice and leave the results in God’s hands.
Read: Esther 3:1-11; 7:1-10
~Have a Wonderful Day~
Hi Teenie!
(((Hugs)))

Thanks!
Good morning, Amy! That is SO cute! (I especially liked #26 - LOL!)
Our city went ‘digital’ tv this morning - and I can’t get any channels to work - talk about frustration. It’s amazing how programmed we are to wake up, turn on the news and sip that first cuppa coffee!
Looks like I’ll miss the “X-Factor” and “DWTS” tonight!
Hope you have a relaxing Tuesday - (only FOUR days left til the weekend!)
Mornin’, JC! Have a great day - (wish I was getting MY hair done! Maybe I’d be younger looking and thinner and prettier, too! LOL!)
Have a super day! *HUGS*
Can't help but chuckle!
Young ones are so unpredictable, aren't they?
Thanks!
Thanks, jaycee!
Enjoy the day and the feeling of someone else washing your hair! :)
Mornin’ Amy.
GREAT opening today.
I think I must be six years old cuz I can agree with a lot of those answers.
