***ELECTIONS OVER, STILL VOTES TO COUNT, AND MAYBE A COUNTY CLERK SENT TO JAIL***

November 9, 2012



PERSONAL:


I awoke this morning at about 6am and awoke to a 2. I then took my am pills (10), no Baclofen; at 6:35am, then laid back down until about 8am and then took my energy shot at about 8:15am. I took B.P. at 8:45am and it was 143/90/65. I realize I haven't posted in a long time and believe it or not I have received a number of e mails showing concern on why I haven't posted but I will attempt to post this morning as I want to report on the election results today, so I should be short. I reordered my Baclofen at least three times and I am wondering if they got it right?




POLITICAL:



Not all the results are in but to interesting developments from the election are A) PRESIDENT OBAMA WON HIS SECOND TURN IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND 2) THE REPUBLICANS VOTER SUPPRESSION DIDN'T WORK AND 3) CLACKAMAS COUNTY CLERK, SHERRI HALL WAS CAUGHT CHEATING IN HER ELECTIONS DEPARTMENT.


It sure appears that WALL STREET is VERY concerned with the election results.




BELIEF'S:




MY COOL IRISH SAYINGS CONTINUE !

And here is the fifth:


May you be in Heaven a half hour before the devil knows your dead.


If we keep buying imports, where will our children work ?


IF YOU TELL YOURSELF A STORY LONG ENOUGH, PRETTY SOON YOU WILL HAVE YOURSELF BELIEVING IT. I am no longer a smoker, but that dosen't seem to be working so well !!


If at first you don't succeed, try, try again; at least twice anyway.



The prayer, for all needs by Pope Clement of Rome:


We beg you, Lord, to help and defend us. Deliver the oppressed. Pity the insignificant. Raise the fallen. Show yourself to the needy. Heal the sick. Bring back those of your people who have gone astray. Lift up the weak. Take off the prisoners chains.
May every nation come to know that you alone are God, that Jesus is your Child, that we are Your people, the sheep that you pasture. Amen


“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”

Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life

You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.

My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephews Steve & Daniel, cousin Dennis, sister Mary and Aunt Mary, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon, Brandee, Amy and Rhett, and all in need, and the repose of the soul of Uncle Hank Burgess. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”
