I don't think I've told you, Chloe has walking pneumonia.  She started really coughing Saturday and Sunday.  So, Monday we took her to the Dr.  There's a new study out in regard to negative effects of over the counter cold medications.  But the night before we took her we got some mult-symptom medicine that helped.  Chloe is usually a drama queen, so that if she's sick, there's no doubt about it.  I give total credit to God that she's been in a good mood, and has handled everything so well.  She even answered when the Dr. asked her questions, and that is usually like pulling teeth.  I was so proud of her and fully aware of Divine Intervention over all this.  He gave her an inhaler, and a prescription that were both generic, which is very good because of Mark's insurance.  When I asked Dr. Fisher about the best way to treat her symptoms,  e said he sort of frowned on a multi-symptom medication and that there was a new study out that says honey is one of the best treatments for cough.  He said "Turns out what your grandmother told you is right." This is actually the second Dr. I've heard this from.  When Meagan had a terrible asthma episode last month, the asthma Dr. said the same thing.

Proverbs 24:13 Eat honey, my son, for it is good;
       honey from the comb is sweet to your taste
Go ahead Drs, try to take credit, but this has been in the Bible all along.  

You know I'm think of another honey saying, (not in the Bible) "You catch more bees with honey."  What a true statement that I know, but so often forget.  

I'm at a crossroads with so many things, or at least it feels that way.  (I just realized the drama queen in my family is me. Meagan and Chloe are the drama princesses.)  One is my heart's cry for the homeless.  Our local monthly feeding project has to change. There are several reasons. One of which is the fact that the shelter is no longer feeding non-residents on the weekends.  Meaning the actual homeless won't be getting fed.  I'm so, well.......mad.  Another reason, is our church may not be able to continue to support this program.  Not because they don't want to.  But, because giving isn't where it should be.  This is my passion.  It is evident to me that it's not the passion of most, and to be honest, it's not the passion of the employees of the homeless shelter.  This is how I see it:  "In this corner, the homeless shelter.  In this corncer, Gina Pasour." And I walk out with my boxing gloves on, my mouthpiece in, and my robe on, that says WWJD on the back as I hum "How great thou art."  Somehow I don't think I'm gonna get very far with that.  As I talked about the other day, we all think of success as a huge following. But WWJD really?  He would minister to those people with a small following, or maybe at times alone.  He wouldn't say "I don't have the money, I can't."  He would say "Father, take what I have and multiply it."  He would love his enemies, and pray for those who thought he was stupid. He would attract people because of His kindness, not because of his defensiveness.

I would really appreciate you prayers about the homeless, and what God would call me to do.  I have a few things, that I think He's putting in my head.  But, I don't want to do anything that is not from Him.  Been there, done that.  Don't wanna go back.
