When I read about being under God's wings I thought it was just symbolic representing that we will be under His protection. I have never really seen a bird with chicks under it's wings before. It really does put a whole new perspective on that scripture and makes it come to life for me.

TurtleTwo,

Thank you for asking about my Thanksgiving. It was nice. I hope yours was as well. I am glad I could help you better understand about BUN. Here is a link with more information that might be of more help. BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) It explains a little more in depth about the test.

Also, here is a link with more information about the Hemaglobin A1C. Hemaglobin A1C

It will help explain what it is used for. By the way, I too have diabetes. I was diagnosed Dec. 24, 2009 and started on Glucophage 500 mg twice a day to help with it. My doctor checks my Hemaglobin A1C about every 3 months to see how I am doing. I also check my blood sugar twice a day to make sure it stays in range. I am supposed to be eating properly to help as well. That part is more difficult.

Also, if you are having trouble from neuropathy and your legs are giving out sometimes, you should probably be using a walker instead of a cane. A walker can provide better support for you because it uses both of your arms to help to stablize your legs using the four legs of the walker.

As for the electrical sensations, would you describe them as the feeling you get if you hit your funny bone on your arm. Is that the "electrical" sensation you feel?

I know that I can be resting my arms on the desk and move the wrong way and I will feel like an electrical shock around that area on my arm. It is quite uncomfortable.

I am here for you.

Your Sis,

JIME

P.S.

You are not a freak. God created you how He wanted you. Remember, you are a Kings Daughter . You were created in His image. God doesn't make freaks.

Hi TurtleTwo,

I have been an LPN for 19 years and I agree with what AyinJade told you. Hgb A1c is a test that they do to get a 3 month average of how your blood sugars are doing and the BUN measures Kidney function. As for the "electrical sensations," you should discuss this with your Doctor. Explain to him when you noticed the symptoms starting and how you are concerned about it being connected with the Propranolol. If you are having trouble discussing things with your Doctor, I would suggest changing Doctors also. As for the Doctor stating that the Blood sugar reading was excellent, that could mean better than your past readings have been. I don't really know. I hope I have helped you.

My first car was a 1969 AMC Rambler. It was white and we had it painted royal blue with the glitter in it. We had an 8 track player installed. It was owned by a old neighbor lady who was the origianl owner. I think we paid $600 for it. My Mom bought it for me and she would drive it sometimes. She didn't have good luck with white cars hince why we had it painted. After I got married though, the color didn't keep her from wrecking it. I enjoyed that car. The alternator went out of it and a elderly neighbor put in a new for me. My husband and I were dating at the time. My boyfriend (Husband) and I were driving in it when it died all of the sudden. I pulled over and he got out to see what was wrong. The ignition was turned of and the key was out, and all of the sudden the thing started trying to start all by itself and then it stopped. Found out later that the elderly neighbor had wired it wrong causing it to short itself out and burn out the electrical system.

Today I was doing laundry and thought how I hated doing it and wish I could be doing something else. Then I was reminded by the Holy Spirit how women used to do laundry before the Washer and Dryer were invented. Thank you Lord for my washer and dryer and having them do the work for me. All I have to do is place the clothes in them and they are washed and dried. I don't have to use a creek with stones or a wash board with a tub. I don't have to hang them out on the line to dry.

Thank you Lord for the modern conveniences we take for granted on a daily basis. Forgive our ingratitude and lack of appreciation for the blessings you have bestowed on us!!! AMEN!!!!

That is a common thought among people now a days. Sad but true Spiritman. That was a good one!!!

The Oil Find

Two old friends met one day after many years.

One attended college, and now was very successful.

The other had not attended college and never had much ambition.

The successful one said, "How has everything been going with you?"

"Well, one day I opened the Bible at random, and dropped my finger on a word and it was oil.

So, I invested in oil, and boy, did the oil wells gush.

Then another day I dropped my finger on another word and it was gold.

So, I invested in gold and those mines really produced.

Now, I'm as rich as Rockefeller."

The successful friend was so impressed that he rushed to his hotel, grabbed a Gideon Bible,

flipped it open, and dropped his finger on a page.

He opened his eyes and his finger rested on the words, "Chapter Eleven."

:24:

I really liked that one Spiritman!!!

Thanks everyone for your input .

Based on your replys, I have decided to alter my signature pictures. I appreciate the reminder about making another believer stumble. Thank you Walla299 for that .

I hope the new signature is more to everyones taste.

JIME

I was contacted by a WB Member who was bothered by the pictures of my signature. In particular, the one of Jesus. Please let me know your opinion and why it is that way.

Thank you,

JIME

The theory of evolution is established fact, so it's sort of embarrassing oneself to try and disprove it. Might as well try to disprove gravity.

Anybody else out there find this utterly hilarious?

I do!! I do!!

Isn't that sentence "The theory of evolution is established fact" an oxymoron. That is the same thing as saying someone is "pretty ugly" or something tastes "awful good".

That was awesome!! I have had dreams where I have been rebuking tornados. I agree though, I would have commanded it to totally disappear.

I voted, but I ain't telling...

every bodies on my friends list...

But I did vote for the best ones

Amen!! That is my story too!!!

:24:

Real or Not----I still think it is funny!!! I am glad my first date wasn't that bad. At least I don't think it was, I can't remember it!!! LOL.

:D I Like IT!!!

ATTORNEY: Doctor , how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people?

WITNESS: All of them.. The live ones put up too much of a fight.

:24: :24:

I think this one was my favorite!!!

Sad, but true. "So let your light so shine before men!!!"

The Cleaning Woman

There was a little old cleaning woman that went to the local church. When the invitation was given at

the end of the service, she went forward wanting to become a member. The pastor listened as she told

him how she had accepted Jesus and wanted to be baptized and become a member of the church.

The pastor thought to himself, "oh my, she is so unkempt, even smells a little, and her fingernails are

not clean. She picks up garbage, cleans toilets - what would the members think of her." He told her that

she needed to go home and pray about it and then decide.

The following week, here she came again. She told the pastor that she had prayed about it and still

wanted to be baptized. "I have passed this church for so long. It is so beautiful, and I truly want to

become a member."

Again the pastor told her to go home and pray some more. A few weeks later while out eating at the

restaurant, the pastor saw the little old lady. He did not want her to think that he was ignoring her so he

approached her and said, "I have not seen you for a while. Is everything all right?"

"Oh, yes," she said. "I talked with Jesus, and he told me not to worry about becoming a member of

your church."

"He did?" said the pastor.

"Oh, yes" she replied. "He said even He hasn't been able to get into your church yet, and He's been

trying for years."

LOL!!!

That's a shame though, I am sure that there are churches out there just like that!!!

I believe the scripture warns against keeping the gospel to ourselves, I mean why are we saved in the first place, just so we can sit around and enjoy the benifits of salvation?

I think not, Somewhere a minister, or pastor, or even a friend voluntarily took the time to witness to us about the gospel, we should do no less.

As far as the experience and knowledge goes, Sin and salvation are a basic doctrine of scripture, that's the first thing we learn before we even come to Christ, so witnessing about this subject shouldn't be difficult.

As for me concerning question I'm asked, If I know the answer; I'll tell you, If I don't, I'll look it up, if I still don't know the answer, which does happen, then I'll simply say I don't know the answer.

Matt 5:14-16 (KJV)

14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Amen!! Spiritman.

Everything I believe and every rule I submit to is from scripture.

In the case of a Christian, it requires Absolute Faith and constant Bible Study. You should have a minimum of five years of constant Bible study and not a day less.

Got a verse for that?

Yeap!

And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. Luke 12:11-12

And

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15

The Bottom Line

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalms 119;11

Amen!! FresnoJoe
