    Mom broke her hip

    She ate the hot dog, left a lot of the bread (need to get more buns). Ate some pineapple, left the rest of the fruit. Yes, at hospital she had a catheter. Then they switched to diapers. Yes, the home care agency sends a nurse out first to see what care mom will need. Because the same...

    Meditating on the Word of God

    These are a couple of my favorite verses for comfort: The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Psalm 9:9 For Thou will light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. Psalm 18:28

    The happy thread

    For some years I ordered very heavy boxes from Chewy (about 50 pounds of cat litter plus dry cat food). The Fed Ex guys would always leave my heavy boxes down in the lobby. I even complained about three or four times. The first time I complained a manager phoned me and claimed they would...

    Mom broke her hip

    Thanks for your concern. The surgeon put a rod in the bone plus screws....his words. Finally got mom home March 20, early evening. She seems in good spirits. Wanted her hot dog for dinner. Gave her fruit and little bit of ice cream. I was telling mom all evening to just urinate in her...

    Is Japan ready to accept Christ en masse?

    I know a retired missionary who spent her whole life ministering in the mountains of Japan. She has many Japanese Christian friends there. She fell and broke her hip, now resides in a nursing home.

    Mom broke her hip

    Apparently the reason two people are needed is because she cannot stand up on her own even with a walker. March 18 was the first time they stood her up. (She had the hip surgery on March 5.) She had a walker and the two therapists holding her up. Honestly I think she got so weak from not...

    Mom broke her hip

    Her appetites not big but when I was allowed to order food for her, she ate. (I told them she was going to starve to death...no food for 7 days! Just a pudding or two and a yogurt!) I ordered grilled cheese and ham sandwiches, puddings, some soup. For awhile she wanted cheeseburgers but...

    Meditating on the Word of God

    I find it helpful to memorize some Bible verses and to meditate upon then (think upon them). I think they can then be helpful in various situations.... recalling a verse to mind. Sometimes it's good to just be quiet and to mull over a couple of verses at a time. It seems to go deeper into...

    Mom broke her hip

    Today talked with the physical therapist again....will need to use diapers on mom. Hopefully once she gets stronger I can help her onto the portable commode. Therapist says mom must have two people to raise her from the bed.

    for me

    Hi Mel. Stress can cause irritation. Are you having a lot of stress lately? If so, try to reduce that stress. Also, as I mentioned on the other forum, be sure to meditate on some comforting verses from the Word of God. Then when something might disturb you, you can immediately remember...

    I see @BlessedPeace also recognized it as a drive-in movie theater. Maybe younger ones wouldn't know what it was?

    Mom broke her hip

    Update: Social worker at hospital says they are releasing mom on March 20 because Medicare won't pay for any longer. Sending her home in ambulance and stretcher. The physical therapist said mom stood up with walker for the first time today...with help of two therapists. We will get physical...

    Unethical treatment of LGBTQ humans / Understanding LGBTQ - 101

    The problem is that most of that community comes into the church with the assumption that there is nothing wrong with their lifestyle. If someone who is in that community comes to church with a repentant heart, seeking help....I think most churches would seek to help that person. P.S. My 94...

    Unethical treatment of LGBTQ humans / Understanding LGBTQ - 101

    No, we don't need to be perfect before coming to Christ. But we must be sincerely sorry for our sins when asking for forgiveness from the Lord. We must not try to justify a sinful lifestyle before God. We must not say certain things are not sin...when God's Word clearly says it is sin. I...

    Unethical treatment of LGBTQ humans / Understanding LGBTQ - 101

    There are other verses in the New Testament. The following verses explain the crux of the matter: 1 Corinthians 6:9-20 9Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor...
