The End Of Holidays Part 1

Hey Gang,

Nice week to have off. Weather was perfect. Warm, humid some days, and a couple swims in the pool. Not to mention sharing it with my family and friends.

I received my winnings through Lotto Race this past Friday. Praise God yet again for his blessings!!!

Looking to have Holidays Part 2 in December around Christmas time. Not sure if it will work out but all I can do is ask. This will be a visit to Niagra Falls to see the lights and stay at Billie-Jo and Walter's to share the festive time with the family.

Loving Gods provisions as he is always showing his love and promise.

Until Next Time,

Blessings During My Holidays

Hey Gang,

Holidays are going good!!!

Spent Saturday afternoon and overnight at the trailer with my parents and brother.

They were having a Country weekend with a live band which was Al Scriver Sr and his band. I didn't stay to listen but enjoyed helping my Father sell tickets for the dinner at the hall. He is doing much better. Not liking the fact that he can't drive his van.

Got the chance to visit my cousin Kathy who is down for her two weeks holidays. It is always nice to share fun times and chats with her.

So lets get to the Blessing.....

I come home Sunday evening around dinnertime and go on the computer to see who might have emailed me and get caught up on Facebook. There is a game within Facebook called Lotto Race. Typical lotto type game that you win coins and tickets to enter for a tournament lotto draw. I had spent my tickets for the big draw at 9:00pm. Jumped on the computer after Big Brother was finished to see how I did for the big draw. It ended up that I won the first prize draw all by myself, nine million coins. It ended up that I could spend these coins for Gift Cards. At the end of it all I ended up with $875 worth of gift cards for my favorite places to shop, dine, and be entertained along with gas for the van. How blessed is my evening!!! Thank you God for favor!!

It really opens my eyes to see how desperate and needing I felt when I have one pair of shoes that I can wear and he provides me with $100 to go shop for a couple of pairs at Sport Chek.

I have always put others first in my life and really have an issue with receiving from others. It makes my cry in a good way that others do have a heart of gold as I do!!! I love my family and friends that so opening share there lives and belongings to make each others lives enriched and happy. Blessing to you all!!!

Well, Rozanne and I are headed back to the trailer tomorrow to share the day with my Parents. But first I will spend a couple hours with my friend Mark today. Then we are off to Hamilton to visit Billie-Jo, Walter, Mateo, Marcus, Lucas, Chris, Dawn and Noah!!!

I don't think the surprise thing will happen as Rozanne reminded me that the Wii System we bought was for each other. I just might have something still up my sleeve....LOL That's just the giving me still shining.

HOLIDAYS 2010 PART 1

Hey Gang,

Finally time to sit back relax and not think about anything at work. AHHHH!!!!

You probably noticed in my title that I've use Part 1...yes I still have another week of holidays to use up so I'm looking into December to go to Niagara Falls to finally see the holiday lights. Rozanne and I have been trying to go the past 3 years. Hopefully it is a go this year. If not then we will plan something else to do.

So what is up for my holidays this time....Trailer with my family and friends out in Carrying Place for a couple of overnight sleeps. Back home for 3 days then, off to Hamilton to finish off my week for 3 overnight sleeps to visit Billie-Jo and her family as well as Chris and his family. It will be such a good time spending time with all the Family!!!

During my holidays is Rozanne and I, fourth anniversary. Planning something but I will let you know when we get back how things went. Not sure if Rozanne is reading my blogs so I will keep this a secret and keep her wondering what is up????

Still hoping to get to Wonderland this season but, as I'm always asked is it a must??? No, but it is a desire and there's nothing wrong with that.

Until Next Time,

My Father Is Back Home

Hey Gang,

My Father is back at the trailer today. The doctor has allowed him back home with blood tests periodically through his doctor. They will continue to check his Potassium & Magnesium levels through his blood.

He is home and enjoying a Steak & Baked Potato Dinner with his Daughter and Son-In-Law. Of course his wife also. LOL.

Now that God has given him a second chance to look at his life and just how lucky he is to be alive, I pray he gets to know God even more. I will always be there for him through thick and thin. I know his tranformation of being a Christian will be difficult. But when God is given such an incredible challenge, awesome things always prevail. But of course my constant praying and desires of him knowing God will be a big obstacle. One step at a time is all we can do.

Until Next Time,

Just Another Lazy Sunday

Hey Gang,

Was up earlier today as I hit the sack last night early. Went and layed down again and didn't wake up until 10:45am. LOL. Crazy how the body works.

I am waiting to see if my Father will be released from hospital today or not. He looks really good however, he is walking unstable for now but will come back slowly. Not sure of how his update is until my Mother or Sister call me to give me the update.

Don't think we are going out today as Rozanne is sleeping still. She was up earlier also and went to lay down. Sometimes you just need days like today to sit back, enjoy a book or movie. Better yet just focus on God and let him know how much you love him.

Hope you enjoy this beautiful perfect summer day!!!

Until Next Time,

Scary Moments Bring Praise To God!!

Hey Gang,

What a week this has been for my family and I. My father ended up having a 45 minute seizure early Thursday morning about 5:00am. Through waiting with my Mother and Cheryl (a friend of the family) we found out that my Father of 72 out of the blue couldn't just have a seizure without some drastic conclusion. At first they stated there has to be some bleeding on the brain but were not sure until a CT Scan was completed.

At first when I saw him I thought the worst. It was like my Father of 72 was instantly a dad of 102. His speach was very shallow and broken up, his eyes were glossy, and breathing very shallow.

I knew my sister would be praying as God has always been on her heart. As I spend a little time in prayer myself. Knowing God would assist this man I can Dad but he calls Son. I was more praying for God to allow my Dad to see how a negative situation with Gods hands place upon the situation can be glorified in God's name.

It ended up that my Fathers seizure was due to a chemical loss of Magnesium and Thyroid imbalance also with Pneumonia.

Magnesium is a mineral important for muscle contractions, a healthy nervous system, immune system and strong bones. It is involved in hundreds of enzyme reactions in the body.
Magnesium deficiency in the body can cause the following: loss of appetite; disorientation; confusion; psychotic behavior; depression; tremors; convulsions; numbness, tingling, and cramps in the muscles; vasodilation, or widening of the blood vessels; coronary spasms; abnormal heart rhythms; seizures; and irritability of the nervous system.

Reading the above information definately confirms to me that is what has happened. He lost all but 0.1% of his magnesium and several of the above results were present.

My Father was transferred from Trenton Memorial Hospital to Belleville General Hospital on the same day and they started an IV drip of Magnesium and Pottasium.

I stopped by after work on Friday night and prior to my visit was informed that my Father was being still moody and not listening to anyone. I was expecting such when I stopped in to see him. However, he was the Dad I always knew. Very content and he looked his old self. We had a great visit and I explained to him how important it is to relax and let the drip work in his favour. You cannot heal in just 24 hours it may take a few days to replace what you lost within your body.

I think God really does know what he is doing for a small part of my prayer was for my Father to accept God as his saviour. I think after a little while I will share with him my thoughts on why things happen to Good people that seem so negative.

In conclusion I pondered in my prayer to God. Please if he doesn't have the chance to live, and it is his time to leave us. Show him yourself, so he can totally accept you as his Lord and Saviour. As I would like to give the greatest gift of life to my Father, his Salvation!

Let The Weekend Begin

Hey Gang,

It finally is here and I have an opportunity to sit down and Blog after my busy long week of working. Your life is pretty busy when you put in 90 Hours for two weeks. I know this is to be looked more at a blessing from God to have such an awesome job!! Thanks God!!!

Well lets recap my week.....

Monday & Wednesday (Blah!!) You can pretty much read it with my Monday blog...one in the same day for both days. However, the evening was good to see one of my best friends, Adam and assist with him moving into his new apartment. The five flights of stairs to climb up...not so nice. LOL Good to see Lindsay and Amy Beth also...Thanks for the help ladies!

Tuesday was good busy trying to get things cleared up and ready for the hectic Thursday and Friday to come.

Thursday was another clearing up day preparing to wrap things up for the completion of the work week.

Friday was a mixed bag....slow, busy, slow, busy....you get the picture. Didn't get all my blister packing done but that can be completed on Monday.

Leaving this work week on a good note....Yahoo.....New Technician starts this Monday!!! We can finally have another person using the computer. But now the task of trying to find a computer for her to use. LOL I guess the Pharmacists will have to just learn to counsel and check the prescriptions.

Looking forward to this weekend. Not quite sure what we are going to do. Definately get some groceries in the apartment. Maybe go get our anniversary gift also. Just nice to sit down, kick up your feet and relax finally enjoying a HOT cup of coffee for the first time this week. New Twilight Eclipse movie looks enticing, just might have to have a date night with my beautiful, loving wife.

Until Next Time,

Turning A Negative Into A Positive

Hey Gang,

Well today was a little stressful. Let's just say I really dislike it when an individual doesn't accepts their own errors, and points it back into your own face. I had to really focus on God during my lunch time as I was so angry at the negative outcome of the situation in question. One scripture that came to mind was:

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”- Isaiah 41:10

It is so amazing that God strengthen and helps us without even expecting anything back. Most would just fight back and put that individual in their place. But somehow I was thinking at the time...be the bigger person. Also, knowing that there is so much more in life that could be worst.

A negative situation always has a positive outcome. I ended up working late tonight and has a good talk with my new Managers and they really praised my good work. Most times it can be a tough thing to go to work knowing that stress is just around the corner. But know I let God stand right there with me. Overlooking my day, and allowing life as we know it continue for the glory of God!!!

Until next time.
