~Farewell~

I cannot believe this is the end! We have all come a long way and yet still have a long way to go. This will be my last post to this bog, I have created another on another website if you want to continue following me. I plan to continue following those of you who keep blogging beyond this class. Good Luck and maybe we will meet up in another class or maybe our paths will cross in the reall life.

My new blog is on wordpress.com: athoughtofmine

Looking foward to seeing you all there...

**IDK**

I just don’t know anymore. My cup is so full right and running over right now I don’t know which to turn. Between work, school, kids, and everything else I have lost all focus and it is starting to show in my assignments. I have tried to get refocused but I have found that easier said than done. Once you get off balance it is hard to ever find you’re footing again and my assignments are so suffering from this. Hopefully, I can end this term with at least a “B,” I hope.

~Happy Mothers Day~

Once a year everyone comes together to celebrate a day that has been set aside for mothers. Why should mothers day only come once a year, should it not be mothers day everyday? Shouldn't appreciation be shown daily for mothers, I mean we are there when you need us and when we are not needed. Whether you are celebrating mothers day with your mother or you a mother cherish each day as if it is the last, give thanks  everyday not just once a year.

~ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY~

We have had some beautiful weather here in Arkansas the last couple days. I don't know about you all but I have had one busy weekend of writing a draft for this class and doing an outline for another. It is a wonder everything has not ran together; info from one class to another.
You know there is a wealth of information out there on stem cell research, everyone has there own opinion on the subject. Some agree that embryonic stem cell research is the it thing and others like myself totally disagree. If they can come up with a way that would be not destroy embryos then I am all for it but if not please please find an alternative. One method has proven note worthy and that is umbilical cord blood. Maybe if someone can come up with way for mothers to donate their cord blood after birth that is if they don't keep for themselves then maybe with the cord blood they can manipulate the stem cells from there to mimic that of embryonic stem cells. I have read some research that cord blood has been tested for stem cells. Studies show that cord blood does show some stem cells present but studies have also shown that these cells can be manipulated. Can I say very Promising!!!

~He is Always There~

FOOTPRINTS

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed

he was walking along the beach with the LORD.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.

For each scene he noticed two sets of

footprints in the sand: one belonging

to him, and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,

he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of

his life there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very

lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he

questioned the LORD about it:

"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow

you, you'd walk with me all the way.

But I have noticed that during the most

troublesome times in my life,

there is only one set of footprints.

I don't understand why when

I needed you most you would leave me."




The LORD replied:



"My son, my precious child,


I love you and I would never leave you.


During your times of trial and suffering,


when you see only one set of footprints,


it was then that I carried you."

There has been so many times that I have had to remind myself of the one person whom is always in my corner.
