I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. ...ADG,<br /><br />I'm so sorry to hear about your sister. For reasons we cannot fathom, sometimes God allows the ones He loves to go through the wringer (like Job, Hosea, Paul, and, of course, Jesus Himself).<br /><br />Consider this analogy: a blade must be tempered by going through fire and water. It is beaten, blasted, and shocked—to make it stronger. I think the various challenges I have gone through—not all of which I was up to—have made me a stronger, better person.<br /><br />Perhaps God tempers His beloved to make them better.Young Fogeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-55301280975194419672013-01-11T11:45:44.716-05:002013-01-11T11:45:44.716-05:00Cubanchem... “Mr. Starchy” That’s classic.

Yep, she got over him and he got his in return. <br /><br />LPC...Prunella, indeed she was always that way.<br /><br />Ilovelimegreen…send us pictures<br /><br />Cro Magnon...Happy New Year to you. I’m on the record regarding the 70’s being a bad epoch in almost all ways. Butcept Rock and Roll.<br /><br />AnonymousFlo…Oh, since the 6th, I’ve found all kinda stuff. <br /><br />Better Government...Thanks for the good wishes about my sister. She was, as reflected in the photo, a sweet spirited, lovely and well revered gal by her girlfriends and the boys alike. She was the perfect straight A student unlike her three years younger brother…that would be me! <br /><br />Also, she was one of those people who knew what she wanted to do/be when she grew up and she knew it from a young age. She’s a nurturer and caregiver so it’s no surprise that she went on to become an RN and spent a good part of her career at the bedside in critical care units, attending to the needs of the frailest, sickest patients.<br /><br />She persevered through the tough patch of being a divorced mother of three kids only to be slammed at around age 39 by lupus, one of the most dastardly, pernicious, chauvinistic and malicious diseases on the planet. <br /><br />At 54 years old, she is unfortunately, unable to work and is wracked with all of the collateral pain and ugliness of lupus symptoms. As an invalid, she still has the sweetest heart and the kindest outlook and the ability to find transient flurries of joy amidst her pain and disease. <br /><br />She is for me, a source of inspiration and frustration. I’m inspired by her joy and I’m frustrated that a loving God would allow the perpetuation of such pain and suffering on one of His most devoted servants.<br />ADGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612897500610475937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8818519199109196200.post-64632919007432415282013-01-09T15:25:08.613-05:002013-01-09T15:25:08.613-05:00Okay, all I am left with is wondering how your sis...Okay, all I am left with is wondering how your sister fared?
