Bad news; Good news; GREAT NEWS

I have only a few moments as I need to scrub the floor yet and clean the whole bathroom before sunset. Still, I thought that I'd share the news of the day as I just can't keep it in.

First of all for the bad news. Our neighbor Leo called around 4:30 and said that his wife, who is my friend Gladys, suffered from another stroke this morning. I couldn't believe it as we just talked yesterday on the phone and her lungs were sounding so much better. She had even walked out to the garden. Now Gladys is in the hospital in Bismarck again, for a different reason, and she can use your prayers.

You may recall that Gladys was just in the hospital in Bismarck for her asthma. I had visited her in the hospital at that time and she had consented to allowing me to do a BodyTalk session on her that day. She told me yesterday that it helped her so much. I hope that she'll consent to let me work on her again as BT works so good on reestablishing communication in the body and a stroke is a MAJOR shutdown of communication lines. Her left side is numb.

Well, the good news is that the Dagleys are coming for a visit tomorrow. Earlier in the day it seemed doubtful that they could come but Ben just called and said that a few of them will be able to come. Andrew needs to go over the Prairie Days DVD with them that he is putting together for them. Also, we want to have A SWING SET PARTY. The children were all mowing this morning in preparation for company, so I'm glad that they're coming. :)

Does anybody know what you officially do at a swing set dedication? All I know for sure is that I've dedicated it to the work of the Lord to bring joy into our family and those of all whom HE brings here. Here are a few pictures that I took earlier today as the children tied and burnt the ends of the ropes. Part of me was suffering as they told me that their plan was to tie the boards at different lengths so that people of different sizes can all swing at the same time. I had been seeing them all lined up perfectly exactly 34.29873 inches from the ground. I should have done my deep breathing technique, for it wasn't worth THAT much stress. After I pondered the situation a little, I came to see that their plan was "Just Perfect." Really, as if everybody in the world has the same lenghth of legs!!! :)

Here I am checking out the yellow swing. IT WORKS! :)

Now for the great news. THE LORD WORKED OUT THE FINANCING AND THE GUYS BROUGHT THE OTHER 9030 HOME AN HOUR AGO!!! You may recall, from the bale stacking pictures post, that we were trying to get another 9030. Our major crop is alfalfa and the one we had handles the hay like nothing else. NOW WE HAVE TWO!!! We traded in the fancy swather that we'd bought when we were focusing more on small grains. They're willing to finance the rest so the Bornemann men's hearts are full of joy tonight. You know what they say about the difference between the men and the boys, don't you? Let's see if I can recall it now.

The difference between the men and boys is the size and the PRICE of their toys.

Here our guys are playing with their new toy. :)

Back to cleaning.

Breathing

Good morning,
Earlier this week I mentioned that I am going to go on the Master Cleanse again for 15 days. I would REALLY like everyone to consider joining me on this journey. It would be so awesome to know that people were giving the master cleanse a chance to work it's miracles in their own bodies as I'm experiencing them in mine. A person could do it for only 1 day and experience cleansing. I would encourage you to do it for at least 3 days to begin with. Many people have had their health restored to them as a result of doing the Master Cleanse. I gained so much strength the first time around that I am eager to go on it again. I'll probably have to do it 4 or 5 times to have the kind of health that I have always dreamed of having, but so what. Now I know that it IS possible, through the cleanse and BodyTalk, to regain what has been lost over the decades. PLEASE PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER JOINING ME ON THIS CLEANSE. Even if all you do is pray about it, you will be that much closer to doing it yourself. Maybe you'll be ready to join me in a few months when I do the cleanse again.
Anyway, I went to the Master Cleanse blog just now, which I have listed on my sidebar, and found something really interesting. I have had experience with a similar breathing technique. It was the third time that I was going into shock and Robert was urging me not to use the epipen if I didn't have to. That time I again took cayenne pepper tincture. I prayed for a way then to not have to use the epipen and I felt the Lord urging me to use this breathing technique that I had learned in the Core program (which I use for exercising). Well, it worked!!!!! By concentrating on my breathing, after I took the cayenne, I was able to stop the convulsions!!!!!!! I've gone into shock several times since then and each time I've been able to stop it with cayenne; the same breathing technique; and BT. So I know that breathing properly is very important.
This morning I was praying for strength to begin the cleanse again--the hardest part is getting going. So I went to Raylen's blog and found that he had posted a video of a man talking about the way breathing techniques can transform our anxious states into peaceful ones. I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS!! If I had known this when I was sinking into the despair of shingles on my brain, who knows what agonies I could have been spared?
So here is the video on this breathing technique. I'll take some time to check out the sight Raylen took it from to see if I recommend it. It's just so amazing to me that God is bringing me all of these natural ways to deal with my health. Who would think that breathing could make that much difference?
Happy pondering,
Dawn
