Dear Leaders, Friends, Once again we are faced with a grave and increasing danger. As Hurricane Rita approaches the coast of Texas, we will be watching and waiting and hoping for the best. But, as people of faith, we should be praying, too. I mean really praying. It is not unusual for the people to pray for Gods intervention in a dangerous storm. See Mark 4:35-41. Indeed, God can use a terrible storm to accomplish His perfect will. See Jonah 1:4. God can also dissipate a storm. So as we face another storm of immense proportion, this time chastened by the damage of Katrina, let us go to the Lord in prayer for all those in the coastal regions. I have written a prayer for you to pray and to forward to your many friends and contacts in your address book via email. I urge you to do it now. There is great power and thanks when many people pray and the Lord grants favor. See II Corinthians 1:11. Dear Heavenly Father, Your powerful hand created all that has been and guides all that will be. But now, in this hour of danger, protect us from the coming storm. Dissipate its strength and remove its threat. Keep our people and property safe and able to do the work you have given us to do. By your gracious hand, spread across our nation the faith to call upon you, the hope to trust in you, and the love to honor you by the lives we live; we ask this through Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen.

hangs head... Yes ma'am... and I promise to fess up to the doctor what I did.... thanks for the info. It really did make me feel better but I wont do it again unless he said it was ok... thank you *hugs* deb

again... doh... hit the send message too soon ....and I see it in the above message on the previous Katrina evacuee's.. LOL ya think if we pray twice for them its extra coverage? heck hope so!!!

awwwwwwwwwww I can imagine. and your right it looks like I may just get to see the eyewall up close it looks directly coming over us once it lands. I promise to be careful... honest cross my heart! Im glad it doesn't look like its going to hit galveston head on... hate that we were a habour for LA and now we are being hit. Kinda reminds me of pour Florida last year. How much is too much? I guess the Lord knows... but I so wanna "IM Him" sometimes *lol* and just ask him things ... Instant Message the Lord!! can u imagine that deb =================== updated list: JodiLynn & family Port Lavaca, Tx Ellie in Texas With Family in Galveston Pam and Famliy in Galveston Gina A & family in Lake Charles LA KeriLynn & family Houston Michelle a Very Long Term PO - League City, Tx Kathy Holt & family - League City D.W. & family in Galveston, Tx Cozypjs Cozypjs & Family in S.

How great a visual that is.... going to keep that one for some time to use in my journey as grandma LOL deb a lady I admired greatly, a fellow teacher and church buddy had her kids washing their own clothes when they were young like in 4th grade on. So I started mine doing the same and was no problem while they were in school with the saying "MOM where is my blah blah blah- did you wa****" LOL and now my daughter in law LOVES me for doing this then... deb

Hi Lynda.. Im in Nacogdoches. Its about 3hrs from houston. We are getting out of school tomorrow but mostly just so that buses wont be involved in winds about 50miles an hour. Tornado's is our fears here... have lots of history of them within 2miles of this homestead here... 2 that actually wiped out the homestead. More focused on closer to the coast than my area.. so thought I would volunteer some this weekend at the centers and pray pray pray... for all the loved ones that need it. love ya girl thanks for caring... deb

I can't tell u what to do but know that I know what I know... I would make an appointment with my surgeron ASAP .... have him TEST me... to see if there is a problem with the pouch ... if it comes out clean and all is ok then I would get back to basics... I would try hard to follow the beginning of the WLS program as possible and yes it can shrink ... after thousands of diets many of us have been on ... the tummy can shrink if you cut down on what goes in. I would also start exercising asap.... wish you all the best. I had WLS 2 times so I have been where you are and the time to stop is now... dont get worse off before you try to stop things... first check with the doc to see if its a mechanical problem with the surgery itself tho.... Good luck deb

Hi ya Karen... I definately would contribute my aim to succeed to having this been my 2nd time at WLS. After one WLS and gaining weight back the embarrassment of facing friends and neighbors who have seen me "bragging" the first time about losing weight and NEVER gaining it back ..well lets just say I ATE MY WORDS and promised that IF i got the chance gain I would go for the goal ... and never "Take the tool forgranted" again. Its not a fix in itself.. only a tool... I have learned more now than the first time and Knowledge is power!!! I definately contribute my knowledge totally on Obesityhelp.com... so there it is.. fear and obesityhelp.com is my attributes its nice to meet u btw and good luck on your upcoming journey part 2 LOL

awwwwwwww thats cute ... Ya know I make cook dry pinto beans and your only suppose to put 239 beans per pot to cook. Why? Cause one more would make it too-farty (240) *winks* ok so its cutier when you TELL the joke instead of type it... deb

HI sweetie.. I changed the font color and sized up a size on the font.... I also lost 4lbs ... have weighed 2 days and its staying the same so Im counting it lost.. err for now lol thank you for letting me know about the profile thing and I think your sooo cool... keep a posting girl.. deb

Hmmmm my opinion? I remember being one...like a herd of cattle standing in line once a month, early on Saturday mornings...in a smallhick town where a local doctor offered weight loss visit/scripts for diet pills very cheap. There would be up to about 150people standing outside waiting for the doors to open.... Yep de ja mooo He put several of us in a room together after we did the step on the scale bit, talk about embarrassing when some of those in the room gained and he chewed us out.... yep I stood in line mooooin just like the others .... waiting to see the doc and get those pills that I needed to TRY to be normal. I did it then and after hearing about WLS I would have done anything to get a chance at having WLS.... even mooo like a cow! I personally dont see a problem. I hope many who got turned down get to have their chance at WLS thru this way if no other... guess it just depends on how desperate one is... just my opinion, no hard feelings I hope!

Hey sweet girl.. *muuuuuuuuuuuuah* welcome to the other board lol... nice to see u. I wish we could go back to the OH meet where we all gathered.. my favorite part was the dancing that night... going to the next meet but errr I may skip the meet and just do the dancing lol.. deb
