i volunteer in the kitchen at salvation army every thursday morning. i start the day bagging fruits and vegetables for the clients. the donations vary from day to day but we always get bread and buns. when we have so much of an item we just leave them in cases for people to help themselves. we put everything on rolling shelving units and the clients can help themselves.
yesterday we were busier than usual so i took one of the shelving units outside. men were instantly attacking the shelves above me and on both sides of me to get at the food and i was getting knocked down. i could hear a man tell the crowd to let me get back inside. it was kinda scary and made me think of what must happen when people panic.
some people just want what they want and to hell with everyone else.
the best part is serving coffee to everyone while they are having lunch.
last week a lady asked if she could hug me and pray for me. she said she never hugs anyone. she had lived in vancouver's east side and she said her life and memory were destroyed there but that God had resurrected her into a new life in Him. she prayed that God would double His use in me. it was a switch but it was cool.
i love working there.

Christmas eve
i wanted so much to go to Christmas eve service with my grandchildren but instead went to my sister's for dinner. i couldn't get to my own church but stopped in at a church on my way home and managed to get the last 15 minutes. after singing silent night i wished the small, wrinkled little old lady beside me a merry Christmas. she wished me the same and hugged me. i had no idea how badly i needed that hug but after saying God bless you to her, and she to me, i left the church and started weeping as i walked out to my truck and started driving home.
BBB's top ten scams
This year’s list of the Top Ten Scams sees some old dogs coming back with some new tricks. New social marketing websites like Facebook and MySpace have opened new doors for identity thieves to access your information, while some unscrupulous door-to-door gas marketers put this category back on this list.
I have never signed on to facebook or myspace and can not believe the number of people that are on it. seeing this report on the better business bureau's website just confirms my suspicions that facebook and myspace are wide open to identity theft.

A DIFFERENT CHRISTMAS POEM
The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasn't loud, and it wasn't too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn't quite know,
Then the sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps Canadian, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.
"What are you doing?" I asked without fear,
"Come in this moment, it's freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!"
For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..
To the window that danced with a warm fire's light
Then he sighed and he said "Its really all right,
I'm out here by choice. I'm here every night."
"It's my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I'm proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
My Gramps died at 'Dieppe on a day in December,"
Then he sighed, "That's a Christmas 'Gram always remembers."
My dad stood his watch in that Korean Land',
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
I've not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he's sure got her smile.
Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
Something red and, white, ... A Canadian flag.
I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a trench with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall."
"So go back inside," he said, "harbour no fright,
Your family is waiting and I'll be all right."
"But isn't there something I can do, at the least,
"Give you money," I asked, "or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you've done,
For being away from your wife and your son."
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
"Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we're gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us."

naturopathic vs traditional medicine
saw the naturopath last week, my numbers were so high they were almost off the scale. he asked if i had pain anywhere because his tests showed that i had inflammation everywhere. he asked if i still had the supplements he had given me, truthfully i said i did have them but i didn't tell him i hadn't been taking them.
i have pain in my ears, in my jaw, almost everywhere except maybe the small toe on each foot.
yesterday i saw my gp and told him i felt like 100 years old and like i'd been hit by a truck. he told me to quit taking the hormone drug he had prescribed 3 weeks ago because depending on a stress test (because the least effort exhausts me) he was going to order, which wouldn't be til january, they wouldn't be good for me. as it was i hadn't picked up the prescription yet but this is something he has prescribed for me for the past 15 years. he told me to take baby aspirin instead.
as the naturopath has said my lymph nodes are so completely congested they are causing the inflammation/pain. him i believe and i wonder what's the point of the gp's tests.
i can go to the naturopath and he can tell me which organs aren't functioning properly and he can give me supplements that restore my health. i go to my gp who prescribes something then tells me i shouldn't take it and can not tell me why there is so much pain in my body and yet he thinks all naturopathic medicine is a crock.
he's ordered blood work that is totally different from what the oncologist does so my wanting to have proof in black and white that couldn't be disputed isn't going to happen.
so in the morning i'll do the glucose fasting blood work and right after i'm back on xango. i may not be able to prove it on paper but my entire body will know the difference.
i know when i see the naturopath again that my numbers are going to be back down in the normal range because the inflammation will be all gone.
the research on mangosteen shows that it's effective in reducing inflammation in the body. it also says that most diseases are caused by inflammation.
i wish i could afford to give it away because i am convinced it will relieve people's symptoms. i know it will relieve mine.
i have pictures of a langley burn victim whose face and neck were badly burned and after applying strips of gauze soaked in xango the burns on his face totally healed. his hands didn't because he kept washing his hands after applying the gauze. this is another amazing xango testimony.
i gave a small bottle to a cbc student and told her i didn't expect her to buy it but asked her if it helped her extremely bad acne to tell others what it did for her. we agreed it might not do too much because it was a small 3 oz bottle. she told me it had helped a little and believed more would have helped more.

xango - it's a food product not a drug
xango - it's a food product. people have asked about it and said they want to ask their doctors about it to see whether it's ok if they take it together with the meds they are taking.
i wonder - do they take their orange or apple juice to the doctors to ask if it's ok to take them with their meds? what do they think mangosteen is?
absolutely i agree - people should check with their doctors when they're prescribed drugs to make sure there are no contraindications. you definitely want to make sure that the drugs your doctor has prescribed for you last year are what you should still be taking this year, and that they won't cause any problems with the new prescription he wants to give you.
i'm amazed at the number of stories i've heard lately from people that have gone to their doctors for whatever and the doctor's are saying 'oh are you still taking that medicine?' like they don't know. every one has said their doctor has taken them off the old drug. they have so many people going through their doors they don't remember who you are or what they've prescribed for you.
doctors and pharmacists have to know their drugs to know to warn about this or that. you have to read the warning labels on everything to make sure you can take cough syrup with aspirin and to know how much to give what age group.
oranges - just eat 'em. apple juice - just drink it. it's food - it's good for you.
doctors will even tell you it's good to eat fruit. fruit is good for you. you know - an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
well in this case it's mangosteen fruit - it's food - it's good for you. it's a fruit - fruit is good for you. and a lot of people are finding a couple of ounces of mangosteen juice a day is keeping the doctor away.
i have to remember to ask people when they say they want to ask their doctor if it's ok to drink xango if they also ask if it's ok to drink apple and orange juice.

Diabetes - Globe and Mail
i read the following article (check the Globe & Mail archives to view the whole article) and shook my head. lately i have become more aware of the risks associated with taking prescribed medicines. they warn about taking certain meds with foods, take others without foods, don't take with this drug, don't take with that drug. it's scary.
Study flags Avandia risks
ANDRÉ PICARD
From Wednesday's Globe and Mail
December 12, 2007 at 10:01 AM EST
A new Canadian study provides the strongest evidence to date of the dangers of the popular diabetes drug Avandia, particularly when used by seniors.
The research, published in today's edition of The Journal of the American Medical Association, is the latest in a series of studies calling the safety of the drug into question.
Older diabetics taking the drug have a risk of congestive heart failure 60 per cent higher than those taking other diabetes drugs, the study found. Those on the drug also show a 40-per-cent jump in the risk of heart attack and a 29-per-cent increase in the risk of death.

100 years old & hit by a truck
i feel like i'm a hundred years old and i've been hit by a truck. wanting relief from pain and stiffness in my hands i started drinking xango. i had no idea it would do anything for the cancer. i heard stories from people saying they'd been healed of cancer but until i stopped taking it on the 29th i had no idea what the difference was. i wasn't expecting it to do anything for the cancer. man was i wrong.
my cancer is in my lymph nodes which are all throughout the body. some i can actually see that they are swollen. but the pain is everywhere because the nodes are everywhere. it goes through my core front to back, it's in my armpits and going down my left arm and it's in my groin. the rest of my body just aches everywhere with occasional stabs of pain. i have no energy at all and the least effort exhausts me. and of course the pain and stiffness is back in my hands.
but.... relief is in sight. i remember feeling this way before i went on xango and now that i know that xango will take the pain away and restore my energy i am so looking forward to the 17th when after i see my gp and have tests i'll be back on it.
when someone asks me how i'm doing i say i'm fine. i figure no one wants to hear about my aches and pain. now i know that xango is making a difference so when i am back on it i can truthfully say i am fine.
after this i don't ever plan on being without xango again. i thought of what a wuss i would be at the end stages of the disease but if i keep drinking xango maybe i'll never get to the end stages.

God and Xango
since i started drinking xango and have noticed how it has helped me and listened to others tell me how it's helped them i have wanted to tell everyone about it. people say they have this or that ailment and i tell them about xango.
i know it works. i know it works for me. i believe it will work for others. so when people tell me they are sick i want to tell them about xango because i want them to get better.
i know God works. i know He works for me and i know He will work for others. so why don't i tell sick people what He will do for them when i know i want them to get better and i know He will make them better.
some people that are physically sick don't want to hear about xango. they don't believe it will do anything for them.
spiritually sick people don't want to hear about Jesus. they don't believe He can do anything for them.
i've been thinking about this 'comparison' a lot lately. i find it so easy to talk to people about xango and i want to talk to them about xango because i want them to get better.
i absolutely love talking about Jesus. He's my favourite subject. why will i go out of my way to talk to people about xango but only talk to people about Jesus when they ask me.
we live in a sick society. xango may give you relief from physical symptoms of illness but Jesus is the absolute sure-fire cure for what really ails you.
depending on what ails you, you need to keep drinking xango. i drink 1 oz 3 times a day and i feel great. but as i've discovered when i haven't had xango for a few days the pain comes back and i feel crappy.
you need to keep drinking in Jesus too. saying you believe in Him is one thing but if you really want to feel great you need to take Him in regularly throughout the day. i know when i don't get enough of Jesus. i feel empty and terrible.
you only drink 1 oz of xango and don't notice any change - drink more.
you only spend 1 minute with God and don't notice any change - spend more time with Him.
i thank God that He gave us the mangosteen to help us feel better. i thank God and praise Him for the precious gift of His Son to save us and His Holy Spirit to make us better.
i know it works. i know it works for me. i believe it will work for others. so when people tell me they are sick i want to tell them about xango because i want them to get better.

xango and non-hodgkins lymphoma
i stopped drinking xango a week ago to prove a point to my gp. i had no idea i would notice such a difference myself considering i only started drinking it for the pain and stiffness in my hands.
i hurt. for the past several days i've noticed that the lymph nodes in my groin and armpits are painful, my hands hurt and are stiff again. i'm determined to see what the difference would be in my blood work from almost 3 weeks without xango when my gp checks me out to being back on xango for 3 weeks and being re-tested by the oncologist. i can tell him how i feel but if he can see the facts for himself how can he deny them.
most people are skeptics and need proof before they believe in something. thinking of Jesus just now and even then people didn't believe when the truth was right in front of them.

cancer
I read something that says we all have cancer cells in our body so it's just a matter of time before everyone of us gets it. And hearing daily of someone else being diagnosed with cancer I'm believing it.
I stopped Xango 3 days ago to see if it makes any difference in how I feel from the cancer and my lymph nodes that had hurt before Xango, that didn't hurt on Xango, are now hurting again. I saw my doctor on Thursday and he said he wants to do a head to toe physical on the 17th so I wanted to not be on Xango and see what my blood levels and everything says and then when I see the oncologist on Jan 10th compare my blood levels again.
I talk to friends who are all coming down with colds or flu and I'm not sure I want to have either so I can prove a point to the doctor except that I do want to prove the point to the doctor.

World Aid's Day
There is no medical cure for HIV/AIDS. There is hope for those affected. This pandemic not only devastates human lives, it leaves broken hearts in despair and without hope. On this World AIDS Day, I call on churches and Christians around the world to pray for those suffering from this terrible disease and to ask God for His intervening, healing hand. My personal prayer is that each individual affected by HIV/AIDS will sense God’s love and come to know—in a personal way—the Creator and Savior of their souls, Jesus Christ.
Franklin Graham President and Chief Executive Officer Billy Graham Evangelistic Association
A Guide For Prayer: World AIDS Day Thank you for praying with us for the estimated 33 million people around the world who suffer from the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
Pray for the thousands of young people who become orphans each day because they lose parents to AIDS. Pray that God will provide for these children and comfort them.
Pray that the Holy Spirit will intercede for those who suffer, that they might experience God's healing hand and find real hope in His love.
Pray for families who face emotional and financial difficulties because of this potentially costly disease.
Pray that the love of Jesus Christ will shine through doctors,missionaries, workers, and volunteers worldwide as they labor to comfort and care for the millions who suffer from HIV/AIDS.
Pray for HIV/AIDS education to increase throughout the world so that people will know how to protect themselves, prevent the spread of this deadly virus, and make wise choices that honor God.
Pray that God will give people the courage to speak up and take action in ways that will change the path of this pandemic.
Praying for Regions of the World

prayer request for el salvador
The US State Department Consular Information Sheet says - The U.S. Embassy considers El Salvador a critical crime-threat country. The homicide rate in the country increased 25 percent from 2004 to 2005, and El Salvador has one of the highest homicide rates in the world.
i like to learn about places i am going to visit and was surprised to read this. so another prayer request is for safety, strength, health and that i would remember all the spanish i've ever learned.

unbelievable! i have so many people that have invited me to join them on facebook but i have always said no. it just seems to me that the potential for identity theft is too easy.
i created an identity to search for someone that might be on facebook and it wanted my email address. i'm ok with that. but it also wanted my password to my email account. i'm definitely not ok with that. giving someone else my password to my email account exposes my whole life. if i have mine or someone else's personal information saved in an email that means that anyone that has access to the facebook files has access to my personal info.
there are so many stories out there about id theft / fraud - are you willing to take a chance?
people say they feel so violated when their house has been broken into because some stranger has gone through all their personal things. i think i'd be a little shaken up if someone got into my email.

El Salvador - World Vision
I received an email from World Vision asking if I wanted to go to El Salvador on Wednesday. I was so excited I was almost jumping out of my skin. It was like every nerve end in my body was exposed and I had to go to the gym to burn off the energy.
I would've applied right then and there on line but I wondered if it would've been possible to take my granddaughter (who turned 16 yesterday) with me so I needed to know when spring break was and the age limit with WV. Turns out she's not eligible.
Then I wondered about health issues. I don't really feel that I have any but a doctor might say otherwise.
I prayed about it Wednesday night asking God if it was just my desire to go or if it was part of His purpose. I woke up Thursday morning thinking of Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.
So then I emailed that absolutely I wanted to go. I got a phone call yesterday saying I was accepted, I was ready to go home and start packing.
I have been praying for months for boldness and for opportunity. In August I told God I wanted to travel. He has given me a spirit of boldness and power and He has given me opportunities. And now He is given me a trip.
Actually a second trip, I forgot that I went to Salt Lake in October. He is blowing my mind.
Now the deal is I have to come up with about $3500 and find 5 child sponsors for kids in the area where I'll be working, in 2 months. The trip is Jan 25 to Feb 3. I found one sponsor already and chose a little girl on line. Her name is Milagro de Jesus, Miracle of Jesus. I don't know that she is in the right area but was told that she would be considered one of the 5. If you think I chose her because of her name you'd be right.
Considering I'm unemployed I'm not sure where I'm going to get the $3500 but trust that God will provide.
I have a few prayer requests - that I would be able to come up with the finances, that I would find lots of child sponsors, for health, for God's strength to do the job and that God would use me to bless others.

Xango
Salt Lake City. what a blast. i went to the 5th annual Xango convention. when asked if i would go i said i couldn't, i was unemployed and didn't have a dime. that was on a monday. i told God that if He wanted me to go He'd have to provide. tuesday night i got a phone call saying that if i would go someone was going to pay for me. like i'm going to turn down a free trip for 5 days to salt lake city.
there were 10,000 people at the convention, people giving testimony after testimony about how Xango had helped them. i heard a catchy phrase Xango will make you healthy and wealthy. besides all the testimonies about people's improved health there were many stories of how people's finances have improved too.
people are wanting to get healthy. people are tired of taking prescription drugs that have adverse reactions or other complications. i want to see people get healthy too.
i originally started taking Xango for pain and stiffness in my hands. at a meeting a couple of weeks ago someone mentioned that he was more alert and had more clarity. i thought oh yeah i've noticed that too.
tonight a lady said that her mom had really bad bursitis in her hips and how Xango had cured the inflammation and taken the pain away. i had totally forgotten i had bursitis in my hip 1 1/2 months ago.
i had a cortisone injection in my hip in january when i was out for foot surgery and i hadn't had any pain until august when it started flaring up again. it was so painful i couldn't imagine having a needle stuck in my hip and wondered how i could get general anaesthetic to get the hip shot. until the lady talked about bursitis tonight i had totally forgotten that xango had taken my bursitis pain away.
i swear by the stuff now, everyone i know that has been taking it for awhile and knows the benefits of it swears by it, people that i have been giving bottles to for them to try all want to keep taking it.
God created plants for us to eat which would also heal us. xango is the best example i've heard of yet that is beneficial for so many things.
someone you know that has crohn's disease swears by xango. it doesn't cure him but it relieves all his symptoms.
what is your health worth? or the health of your loved ones?
i heard someone tonight saying how xango had cured their cancer. although xango makes no such claim to cure anything, it is a food not a drug, it's testimonies from people like you and me that is exploding this juice in the marketplace.
if you were healed of something would you not tell others about it? especially if they were sick and there was a chance they could be cured or at least their symptoms relieved?
MS is one condition that responds to Xango. if you had MS would you at least not want to try anything that would slow it down, relieve the symptoms?
i'm almost getting my juice free now. i've told a couple of friends, they've told a couple of friends, they've told a couple of friends.
wouldn't you drink a juice that was so good for you if you could get it free?
wouldn't you like to make a few bucks as well.
people make money selling avon, amway, mary kay and we think nothing of spending a LOT of money on make-up. do you not think your health is worth way more.
there is a lot of scientific evidence to support xango's claims. check it out.

Xango
This is for those of you who asked me to tell you the results of me taking it myself.
I started taking it two weeks ago and already I have found the stiffness and pain in my hands is gone. I had so much pain in my right wrist from using a trackball on the computer that I was going to get a wrist support. It's gone now. Today my gp asked about pain in my hip that he had given me anti-inflammatories for. I hadn't taken them because they gave me heart burn and I had it so bad I didn't want anymore. I haven't had any pain in my hip and had actually forgotten about it until he asked me about it. And I almost never have heart burn anymore.
Yesterday I printed an article about a chiropractor using it and recommending it to his patients. I was going to give it to my chiropractor this morning but it turns out he uses it already, just for all over general good health.
