How you can impact the battle against Leukemia today-one human being at a time

Amit got a 10/10 match, and starts transplant treatment soon! Prayers and thanks to God. Hoping he can celebrate the 5 yr mark battling Leukemia. Have you joined the registry? It takes less than 2 hours of your time to register, then follow the kit instructions received by mail. If you are a match, donation is fairly painless and for the inconvenience another human being battling Lukemia has a fighting chance.

Waking Up-what would happen without books, blogs, PSPs, commericals, phonecalls, and bitter feelings to fill our thought spaces?


Had a question on my mind when I first woke up today, but I did not know what the question was, only the feeling of it.

So I said (silently) "What is it God? What is the question?"

After a bit of reflection and sorting, getting a drink of water and a leftover browie while searching for my bible, it was "Where does your family find thier time and spaces in Me?" and then a bit later in the day I was reminded that today marks the 16th year since my second child died at birth.  And the question was " What laundry can we get washed out today?" (Malachi 3) 

And then I realized I almost always start a day this way if I wake up before the world starts spinning too loud. If I am in bed and it is quiet I talk to Him, I reflect on Him, I imbibe.  And I realize today this is one place and time in my life which make sense and finds peace. It is more than a practice, and even more than a habit.  It is a way of thinking and being and it is a gift if we can find Him in the chaos, in the storm, in the flurry, in the excitement, the fear, the anger, the suspicions and solicitations and all those distractions that will pull one this way and that.  

What is your morning or evening routine?
