		<description><![CDATA[I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes just in time for my 40th birthday (happy birthday to me!). The first two doctors I had were pretty good. Each of them would spend half an hour to an hour per appointment explaining what I needed to know, going over test results, explaining medications and their side effects, and, most importantly, asking questions and listening to what I was telling them was going on in my body. They both also were relatively familiar with different dietary approaches to diabetes and natural remedies. As long as my hemoglobin A1c and lipid numbers stayed within goal, they were encouraging and supportive. Funny that though they lived in different cities they had gone to school together and knew each other well. After a few years, A1c was 5.5 on 2 grams of metformin and 2 grams of cinnamon per day. The following year, I missed my follow up and ran out of metformin, but when I finally went back in, A1c was still well below goal at 6.3 with just the cinnamon. At the time I was doing a somewhat modified Atkins Diet. Fast foward 2 years. That last good A1c on just the cinnamon must have produced a certain amount of over confidence. After we moved this past summer, I went in to get established with a new physician, and A1c was now up to 11.8 and triglycerides were 590. Wow! What happened? This doctor, though, was quite a bit different from the first....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, the year is quickly drawing to a close. Fall color is quickly flying past, and it&#8217;s time to take look back at the &#8220;New Year&#8217;s resolution post&#8221; and check progress. - Get Organized. Nope. Not an inch of progress. I did manage to give the site a face lift this summer, though. - Show Off. Currently working on selecting some pictures to make LARGE living room sized prints from. Contests? I&#8217;ve entered a few online that weren&#8217;t outright &#8220;rights grabs&#8221; where you have to give up all your rights to your photo whether you win the contest or not. Last night, though, I actually did win a place in my very first photo contest with this shot: I guess the winning photos will be in the newspaper sometime in the near future, so I guess I get another 15 minutes of fame. Sharing online? Some sort of consistency would probably help. Still struggling there. - Try something new. Well, just about the time the weather was getting nice enough for me to start getting out the Bender, we had to go and move. Now that the year is nearly over, I&#8217;m finally pretty much done with all that, so I hope to start playing with that again. I&#8217;ve been looking at large format printers since the summer. My husband may have just made it possible for me to actually acquire one of these, and I believe there is still a rebate going on for the one I want which....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, my little story made the cut. Look for me on June 4. Dear One Year Life Verse Contributor: Well it took a while, but the edited manuscript for The One Year Life Verse Devotional has gone to the typesetter. Phew! Attached is a single month of the manuscript &#8212; the month that includes your contribution. I&#8217;m sending this to you to confirm that you&#8217;re in the book! And this note is also a final safety net to make sure we didn&#8217;t totally mess up your story. Unless there is a glaring error, please don&#8217;t find anything you want to change! The typesetters would not be happy with me. A couple other thoughts: The book is not yet on the Tyndale website. But other bookselling sites are pre-selling it. Check out amazon.com for a view of the cover: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/105-9066054-9530030?%5Fencoding=UTF8&#038;search-type=ss&#038;index=books&#038;field-author=Jay%20Payleitner Thanks! It turns out I got way more stories than I needed, and so quite a few didn&#8217;t make the cut. Please pray with me that our devotional draws people to God and His Word. With much appreciation, Jay K. Payleitner]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve got a couple. First is Psalm 40:2-3 because that&#8217;s the story of what God through faith in Jesus Christ&#8217;s death and resurrection has done for me. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. My second is 1 John 3:2. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. Here&#8217;s the story I submitted for the One Year Life Verse Devotional, which will be published next year. Check back to see if I&#8217;ll have my 15 minutes of fame. During my last two years of high school, I attended church with one of my high school teachers, Mr. G., and his family. Mr. G. would listen to my teenage troubles, and say &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry. You&#8217;ll get there.&#8221; After graduation, I joined the Navy and lost contact with Mr. G. for many years. During that time, I became an atheist and spent the next 18 years totally apart from God. But no matter how bad things seemed, I would always hear Mr. G. saying, &#8220;Don&#8217;t worry. You&#8217;ll get there.&#8221; Sometimes that was the only hope....]]></description>
