To Chrissa Beck for the heart rate problem...may it be nothing more than heat, dehydration or any number of easily fixable things.

To all Doves watching, counting days, looking for signs and knowing the wonders to come, Peace and Understanding.

To those having more and frequent/meaningful dreams, remember to note each detail, every feeling and keep a journal if you can (I sometimes won't remember a dream until I'm laying down to go to sleep and one from the previous night will pop into my head)...there are basic psychological meanings of the symbols of dreams, knowing those will help you realize what you are worried about (we all do worry), and can help you to know where you need prayer. Of course, when in doubt, just ask The Holy Spirit to pray for you.

To those much more mature in their Christian walk, those much more learned in the ways of the Lord and in His Word, thank you for sharing your wisdom and insight with us all.

I had a very upsetting day a few days back, and just having the ability to write a note to John here at Five Doves gave me a feeling of relief and release (and a very quick resolution to the problem). Thank you him for being a sounding board, and for having this place as a refuge...

and on that note, let me ask for Prayer within my family...my grown kids are all trying to get their educations/careers/lives going, and as we all know, the financial situation in this country is so uncertain...please pray for us all to find some security in our lives financially (my future son-in-law has been job hunting for months now). For me and my husband, I want us to be ready for his retirement, debts settled, to enjoy the time we have left here without the worries of daily living (I'm having very expensive/necessary dental work done, which we really cannot afford). Even though I am technically 'disabled' from 3 cervical spine surgeries, I am thinking about trying to get a part time after hours job at the new Kohl's they are opening here in the Fall...I could apply for permanent disability, but being a stay at home mom most my adult life, I'd only bring in about $300 a month (if they'd approve it). My next round of dental stuff will be another $2000. out of pocket (on top of the $2000 I'm paying off now). sheesh....maybe those wacky 'liquid diets' aren't such a bad idea after all, huh? *if it weren't for the fact that these are bottom teeth and hubby is the coroner and has worked cases of the deceased suffering from an infection that went from jaw to heart, I'd let it all go)*

So, as we all pray for each other, let us all see our basic needs met, and our extraordinary situations handled as God sees fit.

Blessings to all~
