“Only in America…
do drugstores make the sick
walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in America…
do people order double
cheeseburgers, large fries, and a Diet Coke.
Only in America…
do banks leave vault doors
open and then chain the pens to the counters.
Only in America…do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage.
Only in America…
do we buy hot dogs in
packages of ten and buns in packages of eight.
Only in America…
do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.
EVER WONDER…
Why the sun lightens our hair,
but darkens our skin?
Why can’t women put on mascara
with their mouth closed?
Why don’t you ever see the headline
‘Psychic Wins Lottery’?
Why is ‘abbreviated’ such a long word?
Why is it that doctors call what they do ‘practice’?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor,
and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money
called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic
called rush hour?
Why isn’t there mouse-flavored cat food?
Why didn’t Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
You know that indestructible black box that is used
on airplanes? Why don’t they make the whole plane
out of that stuff?!
Why don’t sheep shrink when it rains?
Why are they called apartments when they
are all stuck together?
If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress
the opposite of progress?
If flying is so safe,why do they call the airport the terminal?”

882. Here I sit hooked up to my FINAL , “every 21 days for a year IV Herceptin”. Woooohooooo! This is it!! Today is my last cancer treatment infusion. Now I just am on the daily pill of a hormone blocker for 5 years. My heart is full of praise and thanks to God for holding me close and seeing me through every step of the whole way. :0) I am so very happy to be finishing this up!
883. Romans 8:15 in the Message: “This resurrection life we have received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a “what’s next, Papa?” That’s how I want to live my life!
884. Sarah Young’s devotional on June 7th from “Jesus Calling”: “My presence with you is a promise, independent of your awareness of Me. Many things can block the awareness, but the major culprit is worry…..Who is in charge of your life? If it is you, then you have good reason to worry. But if it is I, then worry is both unnecessary and counterproductive.”
886. This is a short video last October from an event I was blessed to be a part of from the STYLE FOR A CAUSE event held for COMPASSIONATE HANDS AND HEARTS BREAST CANCER OUTREACH. In it I am the one wearing a pink scarf and hugging the hairdresser toward the end. At the time I was bald and lashless and eyebrowless from chemo and fried from radiation. I praise the Lord I’ve got hair and feeling downright terrific now!

“Be open to the possibilities … that these circumstances hold more than what I see right now.
Be open to the possibilities … of God’s promise to grow good things in hard places.
Be open to the possibilities … of discovering new hope.
Be open to the possibilities … one day at a time.
When I look ahead, I have a choice: fear the future or stretch my imagination to embrace God’s possibilities each morning.”
