Pastor W lend me this book as I prepare to go to Short Term Mission in a couple of weeks.
I learned a lot from this book. A few highlights:
p.71-76 The incident of servanthood
Chapter 5 Short terms with a long term view
p.150 Don’t make the focus of your trip eliminating or managing risk. What a boring trip. Don’t make it to focus when you return either. We’ve endured too many short term reports that focus entirely on how bad or dangerous are disgusting things were with no hint of God’s work.
I am getting ready to go to Taiwan for a Short-Term Mission trip! This will be my second time, helping the same missionary as last year.
My daughter is going to Japan for STM for the first time with Grace Community Church. She told me about this book and of course, since I love books…
Whenever I hear or read something I like and want to refer to it later, I don’t know how to put it in a place where I can access it.
In the old days we use index cards. But it’s not very searchable; you’d have to look at every card to find what you’re looking for. Or write it in my journal, but again, not searchable.
What! There’s more? (The story starts here.)
The health food and supplements industry continues to grow because it’s people like me who keeps them in business.
Manuka honey – I think this was the first health thing I bought. I was reading about intestinal infections as it relates to acid reflux. The way it’s described…
Continue from my list of supplements I’m taking -I know it seems like I’m taking a lot of stuff, yet to me it just seems like 3-4 pills. But I guess you wouldn’t have to take even one pill if you are perfectly healthy. Nowadays though, it is not unusual to take some supplement -…
Continuing my list of supplements to help relieve LPR:
Calcium with Magnesium and Zinc – I read that calcium citrate can help heal the LES (lower esophageal sphincter), so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to have some calcium anyway. It’s a huge pill, so I let it sit in my mouth with a little water…
UPDATE from my previous post – The biopsy came back benign – Thank you, God! Some minor irritation of gastritis in the stomachs is the official result.
In an effort to relieve my symptoms of LPR, I’ve been taking various natural supplements since April, but diligently since May 1, 2017. Now I will begin to…
These are the things I’m doing to alleviate my digestion symptoms of LPR:
Yesterday, I did an endoscopy. I want to rule out any serious damage that’s been done to my system since I think I’ve had LPR for some time without realizing it.
In February, I did a colonoscopy. I figured I better check…
I don’t know if I’m feeling better or worst, or just that I’m more aware of my symptoms.
In December 2016 when I experienced pain in my stomach area, I went to see my doctor. She did blood work and ultrasound on my pancreas and everything was normal. I self-diagnosis that it was some digestion issues.
I inherited my mom’s very heavy down comforter. It weighs 14 pounds (yes, I weigh it).
I love that blanket. My elder daughter is in line to inherit it from me.
But that blanket is too hot to use, even in the winter, even without the heater on at night. But I love the way the blanket feels because it’s heavy. It feels like I’m being hugged. Maybe it’s a security thing, like I’m protected.
