The Cross
The young man was at the end of his rope. Seeing no
way out, he dropped to his knees in prayer. “Lord, I can’t go on,” he
said. “I have too heavy a cross to bear. “The Lord replied, “My son, if you
can’t bear its weight, just place your cross inside this room.
Then, open that other door and pick out any cross you wish.”
The man was filled with relief. “Thank you, Lord,” he sighed, and he did
as he was told. Upon entering the other door, he saw many crosses, some so
large the tops were not visible. Then, he spotted a tiny cross leaning
against a far wall. “I’d like that one,
Lord,” he whispered. And the Lord replied, ” My son, that is the cross you
just brought in.”
When life’s problems seem overwhelming, it helps to look around and see
what other people are coping with. You may
consider yourself far more fortunate than you imagined.

Take this interesting quiz:
Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.
Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer prize.
Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
Name the last decade’s worth of World Series winners.
How did you do?
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no
second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause
dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and
certificates are buried with their owners.
Here’s another quiz. See how you do on this one:
List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

Jan,
I only got it once but that was all I received from him. Hope nothing
happened at home or work. Just got back from a ride in the “new” truck.

Hi Gang!
I did a really stupid thing! I didn’t bring enough Humalog with me to TX. I
won’t be home until the middle of next week and only have enough to last until
tomorrow at best. I bought a vial of Humulin R (regular) at Wal-Mart this
morning since I don’t need a prescription.
My question is this, is the *strength* of Regular the same as Humalog? Meaning,
I take 10 units of Humalog at breakfast and supper, will I take 10 units of
Regular? I know it may vary slightly from person to person, but I’m just
looking for a ballpark. I just don’t want to pass out from a low or go into
DKA.
I know the timing of the Regular is different and I plan to take that into
account.
I’m still on “no mail” so, just copy me from the list or write directly.
Thanks so much!
Connie

M and Becki,
I see both of you are up and on this morning. Just got here myself. Hope
you are both feeling good.
M, how is Merredy today? How is Merredy’s father today?
Becki, how are things at school, stressful?
I would like to stay and visit, but I think I am having a low, must go test
and eat breakfast.
Catch you both later.
Have a good day at work.

I am so excited. I ordered the pump yesterday. We will have it in a
couple days and be able to Play with it for a little while. I even
called the school nurse, to talk to someone who cared (They didn’t at
work, it doesn’t affect their lives). We start education on Tuesday and
the day to get connected is May 11. So many appointments and a 40 mile
drive. So worth it, I think there is about 10 with the education and
the check ups. Thank God for insurance. The people who are helping
me are so helpful. They should be they will be paid well.
I ordered the Disetronic one in the color blue. with this one we
actually get 2. So if one goes down we always have a back up.
SO HAPPY ….Janet

A young woman teacher with obvious liberal tendencies explains to
her class of small children that she is an atheist. She asks her class
if they are atheists too. Not really knowing what atheism is but wanting
to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like fleshy
fireworks.
There is, however, one exception. A beautiful girl named Lucy has
not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided
to be different. “Because I’m not an atheist.”
Then, asks the teacher, what are you? “I’m a Christian.”
The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She
asks Lucy why she is a Christian. “Well, I was brought up knowing
and loving Jesus. My mom is a Christian, and my dad is a Christian,
so I am a Christian.”
The teacher is now angry. “That’s no reason,” she says loudly. “What
if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be
