Thought you would like it. And the reason it's so funny is because it is true!!!! T.

Ok I'm so tired...........at first I thought that said........"MORON football plays" LOL Allie

Gala dear girl, you sound so much like my husband. He thinks the same way you do! He's 64 years old, and still unable to break out of the 'negative' cycle of thought. Our dear Melody has said it far better than I am able. Love you and wishing you the blessing of piece of mind and ACCEPTANCE of this part of the journey, Linda W. P.S. This is just a test, it seem at times like the more inteligence we are blessed with the greater the test of the mind are.

I know I can post this hear and feel safe....so here it goes. Why is it that no matter how hard you try (or I try) I still struggle every rotten day w/eating? Why is it that not a sole told me my stomach would swell to the size of a 6 month pg woman after my hysterectomy each and every day? That I would go from wearing a size 10-12 loosely to having my 'old size 14's' be tight? That wearing jeans would make my stomach hurt and the swelling worse? WHY? Why does adoption have to be so rotten expensive? There are MILLIONS AND MILLIIONS of babies in this WORLD that need loving, caring, doting parents. And yet $20,000 is CHEAP!! That the saying "YOu get what you pay for" really is true when it comes to adoption? Why is it that I swore up and down that I would NEVER EVER adopt again and yet almost every single day I'm reading international adoption websites - particularly Haiti. I know that we are struggling financially right now. However, someday....soon I would like another baby - child. At the rate of $20,000 my children will be graduated from highschool. I know what happened w/Corry. I know how we got in those shoes. I hold the agency and State of WI directly responsible for the failure of his adoption and what is/has happend to him. Plain and simple. Why do people who take care of themselves, who are as sweet and kind as they come, who are just plain wonderful person to be on this earth have to get cancer? And those who drink themselves to the grave, abuse themselves and everything aroiund them live to be 100 w/no physical/health ailments? Why one...and not the other? (James' therapist recently was dx w/breast cancer. James is struggling more and more w/having a 'different' person filling in with her and he doesn't want to change again because she is supposed to be back to work by the end of the year. She is just as sweet and nice as they come) Why?? WHY?? WhY? That is my question today!!!!! I'm trying to not say "why try"...but it is getting harder and harder!!! Okay...I'm done. Go on w/the rest of your day. Gala

This has been a difficult week for our ward family. Tyler, the flight instuctor killed with Cory Lidle when the plane crashed into the high-rise in New York last week, grew up in our ward and we've known him nearly 20 years. One of 7 siblings, he was a remarkable young man and accomplished more in his short life than many do in twice that time. Self-taught musician, Eagle Scout, missionary, sealed in the temple, father to a 10 month old (and another due in 5 months), pilot at age 17, college grad, business owner. I always remember him as a respectful young man full of life and ambition and someone always willing to help others. One fond memory I have of him is when driving, he'd recognize my van and wave and call out Hi Sister Orozco. And how many teenage boys would do that? Most would be embarrased at the sight of one of their mom's friends. Too many people for our stake center to accomodate, so the funeral was held at the largest chapel at a large local cemetary and even then there was standing room only, even people upstairs with the organist! He touched the lives of so many in a positive way. We are so blessed to have a testimony of the gospel and to know that our family can be eternal ...to comfort us in times such as these. Laurie
