*** very off-topic and possibly a post that will make you think that I am a freak....my apologies in advance. *** Sam wrote: >> You put in a good word for us all .<< Check wrote: >>Hi Sg, sorry I missed you, but I do hope you said a few prayers for us instead of just..... waiting.... <gg> Have a great day! << Well guys...I'm back from church and lunch. If you really want to know, here is what I actually did pray for today:....I asked God to make sure that all of us on this thread and involved in this play, ESPECIALLY ME, keep everything in perspective. I asked that I, and any others who have my weakness for loving money, be comforted regardless of the outcome of this whole play in the fact that there are SO MANY things for us to be thankful for and so many more important things in our lives than money. Believe me...I am preaching to myself here as I am the one who struggles with this love of money and slips into the trap of feeling that " if I just had $xxx of dollars more..everything would be great".....what a trap. It is only God, in my mind, who can keep my thoughts in perspective and point me to what is important so I asked Him for help again today. You see, it was exactly one year today that my 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and I can tell you that never in my life have I seen in a more clearer manner than that day how unimportant money actually is for us. Yes, we need it to live and it is nice to have enough of it to do anything we want..and God does not have a problem with any of us having loads of it. We just have to keep it in perspective. I would have traded anything a year ago when we found out her problem and this year, we have seen how God is there to lean on and count on when our world is turned upside down. I thanked Him for that help as well today. So.....am I getting anxious about CC today??? YES. Am I calculating how much money is ready to be lost or made come Tuesday morning in lieu of news??...YES.... Is it affecting my stomach lining???...YES.... NOW do you see why I need help? LOL......I am a sad man....but with God's help....I know EVERYTHING will be just fine..regardless of CC, ELH or anything else we are involved in. sorry for this post.......I really did not mean to ramble about my feelings but hey.....you guys asked. LOL :o) **** all that being said: WE NEED AN UPDATE ! LOL :o) HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL IN CANADA sg
