Your fall resulting in your not being able to take that other job and then this one coming up later - means you were meant to have this job. I think that is the way our lives work when we are paying attention to the signs.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-48935263836448796172010-01-16T14:14:41.235-06:002010-01-16T14:14:41.235-06:00Don, Vaya Con Dios.

Didn't know what the words meant until I was older. <br /><br />Carol, You are truly a missionary in your work. <br /><br />Although Greg Mortensen was raised in Africa and his parents were Christian Missionaries, he does not use the Christian religion in his work. He actually talks about reading the Koran and while in Pakistan he prays 5 times a day with the Pakistanis. They have developed a curriculum in the schools he builds and it does not include religion.janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444805355043272927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-84866597497406044762010-01-16T09:54:16.602-06:002010-01-16T09:54:16.602-06:00It's game day at the Dome & now there is a...It's game day at the Dome & now there is a<br />new Post up....Coreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00529671587520012813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-83209601485717928542010-01-16T09:02:29.409-06:002010-01-16T09:02:29.409-06:00Wonderful outlook, Don.

I have interviews in Tampa and Atlanta, but things could happen in the middle.<br /><br />Thanks for the well wishes. God watches over me, I'm always safe.

Defensive tackle Rodney Leisle was placed on injured reserve to make room for McAllister, who will be inactive for the Saints' divisional round game.<br /><br />"Deuce is a huge part of the history of our club and of what has gotten this team to where we are today and we absolutely wanted him with us as we head into the playoffs," Loomis said. <br /><br />McAllister is the Saints' all-time leading rusher with 6,096 yards, but he struggled mightily to stay healthy in his final few years with New Orleans -- he missed 11 games in 2005 with a torn right ACL, 13 games in 2007 with a torn left ACL and played at less than 100 percent last season.<br /><br />McAllister didn't find an NFL home this season and has not played since Week 17 of last year, leaving open the door for a return to New Orleans."<br /><br />http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2010/01/15/saints-re-sign-deuce-mcallister/Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-15573900580315985312010-01-16T08:29:58.941-06:002010-01-16T08:29:58.941-06:00Don,

..."My work in corrections was a calling."<br /><br />Carol,<br />That is such an affirming statement. Miss College is mid-way through an internship that has her working in a program to provide offenders with treatment alternatives to jail. I was a little concerned about her getting into that, but she is so excited about the work.

My work in corrections was a calling. <br /><br />I had left my previous job in corrections, where I was really abused with lots of travel, not enough hours to make it worth it, and being screwed, not literally, by the Doc I worked for. I was very nervous being without a job. Since there are not an abundance of NP jobs, I almost ended up taking something where I would have been totally miserable. <br /><br />Just as I was going to compromise, I fell down two little carpeted stairs. I had my old dog, Beau, who was deaf and blind. He would stand by these little stairs leading down into my bedroom at the house. He would stand there, at the edge of the stairs and cry until I would go pat him on the butt to go down the stairs. I had just found little Maggie. <br /><br />Well he was standing there crying so I got up off the couch to go pat him on the butt and something pushed me down those stairs. I think I did a couple of flips, slammed against the wall across from the stairs, went up in the air about 4 feet and came down on one hip. Pain screamed thru my pelvis. I knew something was broken. I could barely crawl to the phone. <br /><br />I had 4 pelvic fractures. Couldn't take that job and just as I was able to walk again, the hospital called and offered me this new position they had created. The job had my name written all over it. Something in the Universe was in charge of that but whoever it was didn't have to be so rough about it.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040510292724803196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-60209282963047254182010-01-16T07:32:51.300-06:002010-01-16T07:32:51.300-06:00oops, here's the right link<a href="http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/sports/saints-107494-nfl-arizona.html" rel="nofollow">oops, here's the right link</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-33928859679791741202010-01-16T07:30:14.928-06:002010-01-16T07:30:14.928-06:00NFL Playoffs Capsules: Rested Saints expect to kee...NFL Playoffs Capsules: Rested Saints expect to keep pace with Arizona<br />"Sean Payton was the toast of New Orleans even before the Saints’ storybook run to the NFC championship game in his first season as a head coach." <a href="web%20address%20you're%20linking%20to" rel="nofollow">http://www.brownsvilleherald.com/sports/saints-107494-nfl-arizona.html</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-60069776710742837232010-01-16T07:25:35.976-06:002010-01-16T07:25:35.976-06:00"I don't think it was your butt post Chlo..."I don't think it was your butt post Chloe but it does seem like our little map filled up after that one."<br /><br />LOL!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2735094423029416610.post-44270794327750148502010-01-16T07:24:41.828-06:002010-01-16T07:24:41.828-06:00"He started out trying to climb K2 - the 2nd ..."He started out trying to climb K2 - the 2nd highest mountain in the world - when he failed and was in bad shape the village at the base of the mountain took care of him and he found out they didn't have a school to educate their children and so few people in these 2 countries are literate - so his dream became the building of a school for this village."<br /><br />Jan, I just love that story that you told us about Greg Mortensen.
