I spent Thursday and Friday rushing around to get everything taken care of
before I started my vacation.. Saturday was spent driving down to Detroit along
with my mother so we could fly out to Spokane, Washington early Sunday morning..
Wouldn't you know we stayed in one of the few that don't offer free internet!!
We came out here because my sister Lisa and her husband Vic (who live here) are
celebrating 35 years of marriage by renewing their vows.. To make the occasion
just that much more special they are being joined by my sister Cathy and her
husband Jerry from Houston,Texas. They will be renewing their vows along with
them in a double ceremony.. This trip was also my first commercial airline
flight and the furthest I have ever been away from home.. I enjoyed the flight
so much that as soon as we landed I called my sons and told them we need to plan
a family trip together in he near future.. I can't wait to enjoy it with them!
I tried multiple times yesterday to get connected to my sister's wi-fi without
success.. Finally got things working properly today so I am back online.. I will
be out here for the next 12 days and in between helping them out with different
remodeling projects will have time to devote here..

From Malladi
Scottish physician A.J. Cronin was forced by illness to take a leave of absence
from his medical practice. He decided to write a novel during this time, but
when halfway finished, he became disheartened and threw his manuscript into a
garbage can.
Totally discouraged, Cronin was walking the Scottish Highlands one day when he
saw a man digging in a bog, trying to drain it so it could be used as a pasture.
As Cronin talked with him, the man said, "My father dug at this bog but was
never able to make a pasture. But my father knew - and I know - that it's only
by digging you'll ever be able to make a pasture. So I keep digging."
Feeling rebuked and re-motivated, Cronin went home, fished his novel out of the
dustbin, and finished it.
That novel - Hatter's Castle - sold three million copies. Cronin never went back
to his medical practice and became a world renowned writer.
The moral of the story? No matter what bog life has you in, keep digging.

Today's Story
WORK AND LOVE
By: Joseph J. Mazzella
My daughter was having trouble recently deciding on what to major in at
college, so she asked my advice. I told her the one thing I wish that I had been
told at her age: "Find a career that you love and you will never work a day."
She caught me off guard, though, when she next asked what she should do if she
couldn't get that career right away. What should she do if she had to take a job
that she hated?
That question brought back a lot of memories of jobs that I had worked at
over the years. I remembered one in particular. My young family was struggling.
We had no money and there were no good jobs to be had in the area. My brother,
however, was able to get me a job at a local lumber mill. The work was hard and
meant constant pain for my back. Hours were spent loading and stacking lumber.
The pay was just above minimum wage. In the winter the skin on my fingers split
and bled from the cold, dry air. The job turnover was high. In the several years
I worked there only the four of us supporting families didn't leave to look for
something better.
Still, I also remembered singing hymns to myself while I stacked and loaded
that lumber. I remembered the jokes and laughter we all shared during lunch and
on breaks. I remembered as I pushed the lumber carts, glancing out the window
and joyously watching the leaves changing in the Fall. I remembered how a simple
sandwich tasted like the greatest gourmet meal in the world after 4 hours of
hard work. I remembered thanking God for this job so I could feed my family.
Remembering all this gave me the answer I needed for my daughter. "Just bring
your love to your job then sweetheart," I said. "If you can't do what you love
then love what you do."
In this life we work to live, but we live to love. Without love work is
drudgery. Yet, with love work is joy. May all of your working days then be full
of love, joy, goodness, and God.

From Dolores
Your Cross
The young man was at the end of his rope. Seeing no way out, he dropped to his
knees in prayer.
"Lord, I can't go on," he said. "I have too heavy a cross to bear." The Lord
replied, "My son, if you can't bear its weight, just place your cross inside
this room. Then, open that other door and pick out any cross you wish."
The man was filled with relief. "Thank you, Lord," he sighed, and he did as he
was told. Upon entering the other door, he saw many crosses, some so large the
tops were not visible.
Then, he spotted a tiny cross leaning against a far wall. "I'd like that one,
Lord," he whispered. The Lord replied, "My son, that is the cross you just
brought in."
When life's problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around and see what
other people are coping with. You may consider yourself far more blessed than
you imagined.

Prayer Request
May seem like a silly, unimportant prayer request to some, but...please pray
that God will send someone into my life that will truly love me. I thought I
had found him, but for some reason either he chose to go or God chose to remove
him from my life. I know the Bible says that "all things work for the good to
those that love the Lord," but I loved him with all my heart and now I am alone
once again. I have prayed for many years for God to send me someone, and still
no answer. Please, my cyber brothers and sisters, pray for me....God knows my
name and all the hurts that I have gone though. Tonight I covet your prayers..I
feel so depressed and lonely and I feel this answer can only come from God.
Thank you,
Gayle
