We don't think what happens when your time is done here on earth? For my sister Julie Ann Woodby on March 5 2008 it was her last day here on this earth. My sister Julie was a woman who loved and lived like there wasn’t going to be a tomorrow .Julie was a loving wife to Stephen Woodby and mother of two beautiful little girls Lillian Hope Woodby and Madison Faith Woodby. Julie live her life honoring her Father and being that crazy sister that everyone wished they had. Julie was funny she liked to joke around but had a sweet sensitive side to her that no one could resist. Julie had a big heart and a love for anyone who she came into contact with. That was the main reason why our family chose to donate her organs. You know I never imagined in life that our family would have to make that decision for my sister, but knowing my sister ...

Drug Recalls & Warnings

Hello Readers, It has been at least a couple of days since I have posted information. Please forgive me for the delay. I was taking a few days to regather myself. I am back a fully energized and ready to work for you. I sat in church this morning listening to one of the Pastors talk on Elijah and Elisha. He was wrapping up a Multi week lesson about the Hall of Faith. We were studing the book of Hebrews chapter 11. During the lesson I found myself asking the question How strong is my faith? Do I have faith??? Would I do whatever it takes to accomplish what God is asking me to do??? Then Pastor said a couple of things that hit home for me. The first was Faith relies on unseen realities and the second is to Trust that God is at work in MY life. You are probably thinking what in the world does this have to do with this blog. Well sometimes I put info on this site not knowing who is reading or if it is even helping anyone out there. I created this blog cause it is what I feel God i...

Gardasil

Good Day Readers, After a doctors appointment for my daughters regular vaccines. I sat down and had a chat with the doctor about the Gardasil shot.

HPV Types 16 and 18 cause about 75% of cervical cancer cases in females. HPV Types 16 and 18 also cause about 70% of vaginal cancer cases and up to 50% of vulvar cancer cases in females. Gardasil is suggested to be given to children before they have encountered sexually activity, however if on is already sexually active you can still get immunized..

WTH?????? Please read this!!!!

Hello to my fellow blog readers, Over the past couple of weeks i have been tuned into some news reports that are being retelevised about how the US may ban the sale of alcoholic drinks with caffeine kick. Ok so I find something so totally wrong with this picture..How is it that we as a country will attempt to ban an alcoholic energy drink but we wont even take the time out to do the same with Prescription drugs. (that are doing just as much harm if not more)You know something somewhere is really warped.. Oh wait a minute I am sure the revenue generated by the perscription drug feild is greater than that of the so called Alcoholic drinks with caffeine. I am not against this ban but it does begs one to wonder why they (FDA) don't care about everything/everyone equally.. ( Probably  because we as a people are just a number and when it comes to taking money out of someones pocket no one wants to listen) So for your reading pleasure about this ban I will includ...

The information shows the side effects of this particular drug and also gives info about lawsuits assoicated with this drug. If you scroll down you will read how this drug was discontinued in the United States.  However there are other area's of the world such as in Bangladesh who still use this particular method of birth control. According to one study 6.2 out of 100 rural women interviewed in one region in Bangladesh use the device. Yet there was an overwhelming number of lawsuits against this drug here in the US. I understand that we no longer are able to get this particular form of birth control but what about all those out there who arent here in the US and are dying or suffering so very badly.

However after reviewing the large list of side effects I am a bit concerned. I haven't had a chance to research the information in regards to rate of death while on this particular pill.
