Letters To God

I was wondering about the things that other people pray for. So I started looking around the web and found a few letters to God. I was surprised at how many people pray for things that are similar to my own requests to the Lord. As it turns out, a lot of people want God's help.

I have written numerous "God, Please help me," letters and said many of those prayers. Have you ever asked God for help? Have you ever written a letter to God? I started a simple poll—it's to the right of this post. I'm not trying to be intrusive. I'm just wondering. Also, do believe that God has answered your prayer or letter? 

Too Much Candy May Cause More (Or Less) Than You Bargained For

Over the weekend, my five-year-old nephew said to me, "When old people eat too much candy, they get feet like stumps." OK. I'm sure he was referring to his grandfather who had to have half of his foot amputated because of gangrene due to diabetes.

Later when I told my brother about the nephew's observations, we pondered whether the nephew had come to this conclusion on his own, or whether someone told him, "That's what happens when you eat too candy," in an effort to spare the child of nightmares about doctors and hospitals—or just thinking he was too young to understand.

Then I said, "Well, I think it would be even more horrifying to think 'that's just what happens.' You know, one too many Hershey's kisses, and it turns into a scene from the Wizard of Oz. Suddenly, your feet just shrivel up right in front of you."

And now, every time I think of "feet like stumps," I laugh out loud. Even though, it isn't really that funny, if you really think about it.

And that was the funniest thing that happened to me this weekend. 

And Almost a Month Later. . . .

I'm still at a loss for words. My life's path remains unclear. Some days, I'm very confused. Other days, I feel OK. But it isn't anything anyone else hasn't faced. And there is a solution to all of life's problems. At least I know that much.

Hope all of you are well.

The writers of nondiet.com keep sending me links to their articles. And I checked out their site. It seems legit. You may find some tidbits of information there. I hope you enjoy it.

That's all for now.
