I am going to rotate the Quick Notes & Cartoons to have a variety, but will list the ones removed here.

Have you ever noticed that when people ask "how are you?" they really don't want your answer. Nobody is deliberately being mean, rather I think awkward is the answer. But, it leaves one wondering how to answer that question. I have noticed if I begin to honestly answer that question, the person who I am speaking with diverts their eyes, acts awkward and looks for an escape. So... my traditional "fine" or "okay" jumps out. I do have to remember that I have those who really want an answer and give it to them.

People with a history of kidney cancer are at increased risk for RCC. It is suspected that inherited genetic mutations may be the cause, perhaps triggered by damage to the DNA that forms genes... (F. F. Mazda M.D. F.A.C.S. Diplomate, American Board of Urology) .

(11/13/10) What is Thanksgiving? Hopfully by the end of today I will have that post completed in the stand alone pages at the bottom of the blog. Give thanks for all good things this Thanksgiving season. God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say "Thank You?" I have, as there are still blessings in my life...

Humor ~ Indians and Pilgrams...
Nathan, a young boy, after hearing the story of Thanksgiving and how the Indians and the Pilgrims sat down together, climbed up into his father's lap and said, "Daddy, did you know that if we were Indians, you would be a brave and Mom would be a squawk?"
"That is the best description of your mother I have ever heard, Nathan, "replied his daddy as he ducked.

Formally, Marie's Kidney Cancer... The diagnosis is in, with the exception of a few twists and turns, it is CLL, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. The address is the same, prayerfaithandhope.blogspot.com

I continue to think about this subject. Unforgiveness is one of the major hindrances that can hinder your healing. Listen to what Jesus says in Mark 11:25-26. "And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and [let it drop](leave it, let it go), in order that your Father who is in heaven may also forgive you your [own] failings and shortcomings and let them drop. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your failings and shortcomings." Happy New Year 2011, I still think this an important message! A quote by Author: Tami Hoag 2007... What purpose does it serve to hold that anger? What good does it do? Hatred is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die of it."
An Opinion... Isn't it amazing that almost everyone has an opinion to offer about the bible (as well as other subjects), and yet so few have studied it (or the subject)? R. C. Sproul, skywriting.net If only one would read before speaking, they would not look so foolish. Yet, I don't want to get in anyone's face... so I keep dropping hints. Does it help? I hope so...)
