       Oh dear Dave, from the prospective of knowing you are okay, I
       kind of chuckled ( only a little bit, I promise ) when I read
       the whole story of the Guinness.
       Hope you don’t ache today as know falls can have a delayed
       reaction.
       Personally I hate the stuff, had to drink it when I was low in
       iron in late pregnancy. My Nan use to drink it, she loved it !
       There may be a silver lining with my knee as I had a honest and
       open on versatile with my line manager yesterday. I admitted
       that I have had enough ( he was the one who organised the
       counselling for me after Sarah’s suicide attempt - still having
       the sessions paid for by work. It’s been really helpful ) anyway
       he is pretty sure that Occupational therapy will say I am unfit
       for work, and that it only takes weeks to release someone from
       their contract. It would also mean I can claim benefit until I
       retire. So in essence I could actually retire early from work.
       Yesterdays conversation was definitely ‘ a God provisional
       meeting ‘ as it was random. My line manager doesn’t usually do
       my 6month meeting about work ( can’t remember what it’s called )
       I was also in laundry and was not busy at that moment. I had
       felt pretty low before I went to work and was weighing up
       whether to resign……………
       My Occupational meeting is on Friday at 8:30 -
       The thought of leaving work before Christmas and as we move is
       just hitting those positive spots, it would truly be a ‘ new
       beginning ‘ ‘ a fresh start to a new stage in my life.

       On the note of ‘ the lady on the plane with the T-shirt ‘ do you
       ever school down on face book and click on the weird and
       wonderful photos of people doing stupid things, or wearing
       things that you just shouldn’t wear- they are quite amusing at
       times.

       Dear Rita
       If I understand your prospect correctly then my heart goes out
       to you in the hope that you can 'break away' with financial
       gain, and then find a new job that suits you best from every
       point of view XXX.

       Hi Mike, How are you ?
       Not looking for another job as I have injured my right knee and
       may need surgery, and also done muscles in my left hip area.
       Looking to retire 6months earlier than planned. I possibly would
       looked for a part time job if surgery happened within the next
       year. Or if I could find a job that wouldn’t push the knee too
       much. Work at the moment is just too much for both injuries.

       I asked this question some time ago Mike and you didn’t respond,
       this will only add to the site not being very active. Granted I
       have been really busy but I always check in to see if anyone has
       posted. So are you able to give an update ?

       A very happy posting, my hockey team picked up a win :o it was
       an open air rink affair and over 50,000 were in attendance, they
       held a minute silence for the hockey player who died in an
       English game.
       Sometimes I forget that at the name of Jesus every knee shall
       bow and that His name is ABOVE every other name that's named,
       but get reminded by things which happen, last week a friend of
       my son-in-laws in avoiding an head on collision rolled his pick
       up truck in the ditch, he miraculously survived,he somehow
       managed to get out and dragged himself to the highway, stopped a
       vehicle and got them to take him to the local hospital,this is a
       very rural hospital with limited trauma care staff, they usually
       airlift people to larger city hospitals, Bill was admitted with
       numerous back and neck fractures, broken jaw, broken fingers and
       the staff admitted they were out of their depth, his wife called
       for prayer and sent copies of his X-rays to my son in law who
       pointed out that among other things his collar bone was broken,
       which they had missed, but from being not sure he would make it,
       there are now a lot of positives taking place, it just struck
       me, HIS name is above what can be termed "incompetency" so in
       spite of the doctors confessions he is improving, PTL.
       An old song says,
       
       How great is our God, How great is His name!!!
       He's the wonderful one, forever the same,
       He rolled back the waters of the mighty Red Sea,
       And He said, I'll never leave you, put your trust in me.

       Pleased your friend is improving Dave xx
       I must admit to wondering how they deal with things in war
       zones, like in Gaza at the moment. It must be awful. I still
       don’t see how Israel can justify such an action ( I know Hamas
       started it up again , but this is going to far )
       Sorry I know a lot of Christian’s  automatically support Israel
       but those in Gaza are people too , not second rate human beings
       just because they happen to be Muslims. It’s the extremists that
       are to blame not everyone else.
       I don’t understand how so many Christian’s can be so cold
       towards those in Gaza - I don’t get it. ( I must be a weird
       Christian to have compassion inside for them all ) !
       Hockey season, did you hear about the freak accident at a match
       here. A player accidentally got hit in the neck with an ice
       skate and sadly died as a result.
       I have heard of accidents on the ice but not one so severe.

       On the hockey note, I did mention that on our Sunday game they
       held a one minute silence for the dead player, a grim reminder
       that accidents can be fatal.
       As too the Israel thing, retribution has always been the
       unregenerate way that things are done, in every conflict the
       innocent suffer, I don’t think there is any way for that not to
       happen, should “ r*p*ng and pillaging “ go unpunished? the laws
       of the land say no, when biblically God gave the land that He
       had promised to Israel the conflict with the inhabitants
       continuing through every dispensation, and will continue until
       there is a divine intervention.
       It will have to be a greater than Solomon intervention, I have
       no particular leanings, as in the Ukraine do I have to choose
       one over the other; we are told to pray for the peace of
       Jerusalem, is that relative to a piece of real estate in the
       Middle East, or what was seen seen as coming down from above!!!.
       To me Israel is the rejected wife, and rejection is a breeding
       ground for strife,
       .. Islam is an unforgiving religion, which feeds on domination ,
       fear and barbaric penalties.
       My hope for all mankind is in the one who said I AM the
       resurrection and the life and went on to prove it.
       Jesus was the master of compassion, did the need foster
       compassion or compassion was the fulfilling of the need, I need
       to have a study on compassion, as to it’s out workings.
       On an hockey ending, it’s ‘game on’
       tonight,👍👍👍.
