Now that I have some of my heaviest weight lifted off of me (the people management of the business) I have started delving back into another love.....midwifery
The good schools take 3-4 years plus clinical work
But I don't want to move.

Ever prayed for pee?
He who is aware of every birdie, surely is aware of nerve problems in my 4 year old. He didn't pee for over 24 hours, and attempts at catheterization was not working. So we had Mikey give him a blessing with the oil and I feel much better about it.
The blessing said that is would only be short term trial (yes, he told that to Joseph Smith when he was in the liberty jail too) and that the right connections would be made allowing him to eliminate effectively. Which was the feeling I had often gotten concerning the surgery, but the doctors refuse to promise you (if the mention the possibility at all).
Ian finally peed.

Faith
Faith is the middle land between fear and a clear view of the future.
God did not give us the spirit of fear. Fear is the opposite of faith. Faith is stepping forward into the unknown believing that God is there to guide you. (and trusting Him to be not only a good guide, the the guide with your ultimate salvation and eternal life in mind)
Even most of the prophets, those who have seen the whole future of the world, did not have all the details of their lives spelled out to them. That would make faith unnecessary, and good luck to all prophesying without faith.

life is your chance to learn
It all feels like a bad dream. It was just supposed to be a simple wheat allergy, now it is tethered spinal cord, sacral agenesis and related stooling and urinary problems.
You just want to ask- how can this be happening to my child?
But we know the answer. Life is your chance to learn, and you don't learn if everything is going too smooth. Then of course you wish to make changes in the course - like cover the challenges of something else- like a basket of kitties. Unfortunately the course is too tailored to what you need- not what you want.
So the big questions is- what are my lessons from this? And how can I best learn them and use them right quick to make this as short and painless as possible?

There are lots of poor among us
This article is interesting.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070225/ts_alt_afp/useconomypoverty_070225003515
It talks about how more people are in deep poverty in the US while cooperate profits are rising.
Quite interesting. On my scale of good vs bad in societies the Ideal society would have no poor, because we would be taking care of them, educating them, getting them jobs and helping when life circumstances prevents them from being self sufficient.
I have a little business and it is working hard to bring about a "Zion Economy." In my own little definition that mean a economy where people are loved and no body is taken advantage of. A business that trains, and pays livable wages and one that values family more then profits. Of course my little business has never seen a profit yet- but I think that will change.
Profit from a business is just money to reinvest in programs to make life better- wether it is growing the biz, it's employees, the local economy and community. To be rich for the sake of money is not my goal. I already have everything I need in money, but to be able to do good with it.
It would be really fun to help the local school system set up a healthy organic lunch program. And while we are at it- our little mascot should grace the cafeteria too. The Eco Sprout Foundation, real food for real schools.

more?
Well the Lord must have liked what I did when he dropped $40k on my lap and so yesterday he decided to see what would happen if he dropped $50K on me. Am I swimming or sinking?
Money doesnt make me happy. It makes me feel kinda guilty. I have many friends who have lost thier job this month and they all have old junkers for cars, and I am planning to spend half of theis on a new car- a prius and have it all paid in cash. LIfe is weird.
Those who wrote me the check for $50K did it for tax reasons. They thought I should thank the party responsible for it. But mostly I just wanted to scream at them that I dont deserve the money I didnt earn. THe house I sold, was a lot of work, I earned that money. But this $50 K is mostly just a gift.
In some ways I want to scream with graditude in other ways I want to scream in fustration. But that is life and I will see that this money is used to better our world.
