Greetings friends

I am at the Sacramento Airport - making a quick emergency trip to Salt Lake City. Here I am with my apple for breakfast (I ate some mandarins earlier) - thinking about you all and praying for you today.

May God fill your hearts with His joy and the power to be overcomers today.

I was meditating on Jesus' name this morning -

The angel told Joseph that His name was to be "Jesus" - "the One who saves"

Isaiah was told HOW He saves -  His name is "Emmanuel" - "the God who is with us"

The Lord is with you today - not just to save you from sin, but to bring His salvation and grace into every area of your life. May He be especially WITH each of you today and through this Christmas season. 

lorabear - you are my kind of girl!!

I also had my BIG helping of veggies for dinner - after a day of fruit only. 

kansasgirl - Yes...I have tried and tried...to no avail. I just tried bolding your name, and will see if this works. Bolding is now the least of my problems - I have lost all my journal postings and all my friends (I am slowly able to get some of my friends back - I only had 4 and they all became blocked to me!!!)

I have written to the "powers that be" and I will see if anything comes of it.

lorabear...kansasgirl seems to be "allowing" us to talk chocolate...carrot cake...whatever vegetable takes our fancy - so have at it!

I'm doing fruit for most of today - I will steam a cabbage, broccoli,  onion, carrot, celery mix for dinner - mmmm-mmmm-mmmm this can be good with just a little butter and garlic salt

Thank you undertherainbow - I have contacted the  Team. Good suggestion

Have a wonderful day. In the meantime - I am still open to suggestions from all other CCers!

Thanks. 

Molly - is there some reason that I am blocked? I see your name, but it says "Blocked User." Have I done something wrong?

Anyone? 

Molly - I will be praying for you. I took a wee trip all along the Carmel/Monterey coast recently - we ended up going al the way down to Hurst Castle and Solvang - just exquisite coastline. Just the place to see God's marvelous handiwork.

Prayers for safe travel and  time to enjoy your husband and all of God's wonders.

Ok Lora - for dinner I made a salad and ate about 6 cups of this:

lettuce, snow peas, wee carrots, broccoli, red onion, celery, red cabbage, apples, bean sprouts, cashews, Newman's low fat Sesame Ginger dressing

Does this count? 

NOPE!!!!!  AGGHAHAHHHHGHGGGH!!

The bold didn't work afterall! It was bold when I typed it and dragged the cursor over the text and then hit *Bold*

I am destined to be "boldless" and "Italicless" and all those other things...

At least I can cry! 

Cheers, wild applause and bowing is occurring in my heart for you - maybe if I get up and bow properly I will burn a few calories...ok...done! (Be assured - this was not the same bowing that is given to the ONLY ONE who is King and Lord!)

Yyyyyaaaaaaayyyyy!!! Congratulations for Molly the mouse!! 

Prayers for your continued success and inspiration for the rest of us!

4square - it would be pretty hard to beat the cuteness factor of our wee puppy, Spencer. He is a Maltipoo (Maltese and Poodle) - caramel color with white tips on his feet and chest. He will only be 4 pound when fully grown. I will add some more photos of him because he is so jolly CUTE!! You should see him running at full speed!

Pam - The funny thing is that I have never in my life heard someone teaching on this subject of the Fragrance of the Lord - than last night as I went to bed, I switched over the the GOD TV channel - and LO AND BEHOLD...Mike Bickle was teaching on this VERY THING! He took all MY Scriptures also! I could only smile at God as I realized that He must be wanting to tell His people about this right now.

The music...aahhhh...I have been so busy...I haven't practiced as I should for so long. I mainly teach these days, but I am making music in my heart as I see this weight going down, so that is something for sure!

Hi Kansas - 

I have lived in the USA for over 20 years...but just became a citizen after 9/11 - it was my statement to Osama bin Laden "If you want to kill Americans...then I will be an American!! So, I feel that I stand on the front line for America - I love this country and am proud to be here - I love everything this democracy stands for.

I have a 25 year old son who served for a year in Iraq - he is my hero - he earned the Bronze Star!

I travel a lot for my job - I am a speaker in churches and conferences. I specialize in Christian music and worship. So, I go into churches and help them with their music. I speak in women's conferences all over the world and also work with young people. I also play a bunch of instruments...but all of this seems more glamorous than it is, as I suffer with airports, bad meals, undisciplined schedules, people who want to feed me to show good hospitality, foods from other countries, etc. Not that I can blame all this for being overweight - it is all my own fault.

So I hope that introduces me to you all - just a little. Now I will sit back and listen to your stories.

Hi Pam -

Thank you for the welcome.

To answer your questions: I play keyboards, guitar, hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, penny whistles, native American flutes, recorders, and a few other bits and pieces. I am in full time ministry, so, yes, I was working on a series of teachings I will be giving in January on the fragrance of the King - I am looking at the Word - where it describes what He smells like - why He smells like that and what it means to us, as we are supposed to smell like Him.

2Co 2:14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.  

I so want to be triumphant in this weight loss issue - I know it will contribute to the fragrance of the Lord in my life, and the attraction of others for the Lord.

Sorry if this is too long for an answer 

Hi everyone - I am over 50 - sigh - so I guess I belong in here. I hope I can find this again (I'm kinda new)

I live in California -  from New Zealand, but now a very proud American citizen!

Cheers and a hearty "gidday mates!" to you all

Jessie - I hate those zig-zaggy marks on my weight log!! I much prefer a descending line - that is my aim...

so...I weigh every day and tell myself what I ate the day before so that I can learn how my body reacts to certain foods

That way I can see less of Jessie's zig-zaggy lines - you can have em!
