WAIT
Likely, you have even tried a flavor or two of it down through the years. However, you may not know the story behind this beloved product. Jell-O was discovered by a man named Pearl Wait over one hundred years ago. Although Wait was a construction worker by trade, he dabbled in medicines in his spare time and sold his remedies door to door. In the midst of mixing medicines, Wait got the idea of mixing fruit flavoring with granulated gelatin; and, the wiggly, wonderful product that we know and love was born. For two years, Wait eagerly peddled his product door-to-door. However, sales were surprisingly slow. Discouraged, Wait sold the rights to his product to a neighbor, Orator Woodward, for $450. Within eight short years, Woodward turned a $450 investment into a $1 million dollar business. Today, 1.1 million boxes of Jell-O are sold each day. Although Wait made an amazing discovery, someone else reaped the rewards of it. Ironically, Wait just couldn’t wait. What about us? Can we wait? As Christians, we have certainly made an amazing discovery. We have found the truth. However, we must hold it fast ( 2 Timothy 1.13). We must not sell it for any price ( Proverbs 23.23). If we sell the wonderful truth that we have found, we will live to regret it. It will cost us and our descendants greatly. If we sell the truth, we will lose far more than Pearl Wait and his descendants ever did. After all, the value of Jell-O is nothing in comparison with the value of the soul ( Matthew 16.26). Please don’t sell out! Hold on to the truth that you have found! One day, you will be glad that you did. Wade Webster, “Wait Just Couldn’t Wait,” The Searcher, Southaven church of Christ, May 29, 2011 KneEmail: “Wait on the LORD, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the land; when the wicked are cut off, you shall it.” Psalm 37.34 Posted by Mike Benson at June 2, 2011 12:32 PM |

Posted: 03 Jun 2011 01:01 PM PDT Things are not looking to great for me. I’m still having alot of seizures. The only change is the intensity of them. They are going to give me the steroid tonight and tomorrow morning. If they haven’t decreased by then we will be coming home a day early. So there you go another medicine that did not work. I don’t know what to do anymore. We are so tired of watching me have seizures everyday of my life. I guess we have to be thankful for the progress I’m making and pray that I will continue to develop. Maybe one day we will have some control of these horrible things. Our next step in my journey is to go to Boston at the end of the month. By that time I will be on enough lamictal to know if it is working. We will then wean vimpat and start vagabatrin when we get back. This is the medicine that can effect my eyes. I really didn’t want to try this medicine but it is only fair to try it for a month and see if it will help. Please pray for me and my family!!!

Heart to Heart with Holley: There’s more to the story…
The news drifts to my ears from the television, pops up on my screen, comes across the radio.
Tragedy.
Hurt.
I lay in bed that night and pray, “Lord, I don’t understand.”
And it seems I hear a whisper…”The headlines aren’t the whole story.”
Oh.
I think of the hard “headlines” in my life.
I consider how if someone only saw that they might shake their head and only say, “Poor girl.” But I’ve also learned firsthand what it’s like to be surrounded by grace, walked through the rain, even suprised by joy.
God is the Author of life.
With Him, there is always hope.
There is always redemption.
There is always more to the story.
Always more to your story.
All the way to The End…and beyond.

Posted: 01 Jun 2011 05:32 PM PDT   Today has definitely been a long day. We got to the ER at 8:30 this morning. My neurologist came and wrote all my orders as soon as she knew we where here. That was the easy part. They then came to do my IV. Well of course they couldn’t get it. I don’t know why some people have so much trouble and others can just get it the first time with no problems. They were finally able to get it and I was so worn out from screaming, I feel asleep. I slept in the ER for 3 hours. We finally were able to go to our room after waiting 4 1/2 hours. The hospital is full so we had to wait for someone to leave. I got my first dose of steroids in the ER. It’s too early to tell if it is working but my seizures have not been as intense this afternoon. I will get my 2nd dose tonight. My neurologist said we might see a difference after the 2nd dose but it may take longer before we notice a change. I promise to keep you all updated. I have been very fussy but I did smile some today. The first picture is of me playing on the mat in my room. The second is of me looking out the hospital window. Thanks for praying for me and please continue to pray. I love my prayer warriors. You help me and my family so much!!!  |
