Bellaire Singing 10-08-08 10:47am CST
There's a singing at the Bellaire Congregation in Houston this Friday night at 7:00pm.

I know that is when our Bible Study is scheduled, but I know the members of Bellaire would be very much encouraged if some of us went. If you'd like to go with me just let me know!!

The song leaders will be RJ Stevens, Tim Stevens, Adam LaRue, Michael Stringer, Glen Tomblin.

Bellaire is the congregation I attended while living in Houston. Can't wait to see everyone again!!
aletaGene and I and a couple of elderly ladies are going. Look forward to seeing you! 
aggiemanhave you ever heard glen sing? He's astounding...such a good man. I'm blessed to have known him at fry road 
cascadingharmonyI think we'll go! 
baizalI see you haven't forgotten the little people on your way to the top. 
maryswansonI hope your back is feeling better, you poor ting! Thanks again for mailing my package for me! Happy healing thoughts to you and your back. :) 
ellwoodwdno, i don't have any silly-putty. 
cascadingharmonyDo you think there's any way we can leave earlier than 5...like maybe 4ish? It takes just under 2 hours to get there, and that's with no traffic. 
cascadingharmonyI know you have work, maybe we could pick you up from it haha :) 
texanmandyaww thanks! I 
orangecrushyou rang? 
shaftHi Kristie, this is Bryan Gary from the Pruett and Lobit congregation. Have you been in Austin recently? The reason I ask is because Luis Zamora, the preacher at the S. Austin church, said they have a visitor that knew people from Pruett and Lobit. He couldn't remember the name, but his description matched you.

Chiropractor.... 10-03-08 02:25pm CST
I went today because 1.) the pain has become intolerable and 2.)I think my roommates and Donald were tired of me complaining (although I think they secretly enjoyed the Yost-Ibuprofen mix)

So my experience. First we'll being with how I feel right now: TERRIBLE, LOTS OF PAIN, ready to remove my back.

Back to the chiropractor's office visit. It was nice, I watched a video regarding the "Chiropractic Experience" (it was a VHS tape). Saw my Dr., Very nice man. Then had to go through some sort of electric shock therapy business. Let me explain what it felt like/what I was imagining:

They put these harmless looking electrode things on my back in various places and tell me I'll experience a slight tingling which will heighten as they increase the volume. Ok, sounds good. And it did feel nice. I laughed when it would start (as it would stop and start randomly) because it tickled. Then the "tingling" would begin again. It felt like little HEAVY ants running really quickly across my back in a pattern. So as the "treatment" was progressing, in between boughts of sleep, I was imagining ants marching and playing instruments across my back. It was nice. And funny.

Then the Dr. "adjusted" my back ie contorted my body into positions I didn't know could be done especially during the amount of pain I was enduring. Then a little massage therapy (NICE, NICE)!

So, I'm still hurting, I have more appointments, this needs to work fast and I smell like my Dr. THE END.

ellwoodwdthey also use a form of electrode treatment for some forms of scoliosis where there is a discrepancy in strength between muscle groups in the back. 
yost^Lets' hope that is not what ends up wrong with me. :-( 
aletaThe electric stimulation sounds like a T.E.N.S unit. I have a smaller version of that. The purpose is to release natural pain relievers in the brain (endorphins). I love mine and it has gotten me out of many bind.

I hope he can help you! Mine has helped my neck tremendously. 
anneIs this from the donkey??

I have used chiropractors over the years, and found them helpful. Hope it proves the same for you. 
skidgetI LOVE the electrodes when I go. I usually sleep hard!! 
sperkyi always wondered what the chiro does... keep us updated! 
jolynni love the chiropractor 
graceI've been dealing with back pain for the last week and have had to go to my chiropractor twice. I feel your pain! Hope you feel better soon. 
muldoon202I think any foot injury leaves you thinking, "C'mon! hoe did this happen?!" 
plattinI have never been to the chiropractor, but I once had a terrible headache and then popped my neck and it disappeared like magic. 
muldoon202hahaha! ***how!!!!**** hahaha 
a_shipleychiropractors do some weird stuff haha 
maryswansonherrow! thanks for the thoughtful message! i think i am okay with chairs! i have seating for 12. if you don't think that is enough, perhaps bring a chair or 2! thanks, friend! hope u are having a marvy day!

Side Swiped by a.... 09-24-08 08:22am CST
This is for those who said I had to post this.....

I was riding my bike yesterday, as has become customary for me. I usually ride a little over 8 miles, which takes me thru the Traditions subdivision, then out onto Hwy 47 back to Villa Maria. I always stop at the end of Traditions and at the corner of Hwy 47 and Villa Maria to take a drink of water. So, yesterday was no different.

I will tell you that I was paying attention to the following things:. 1. I passed a man walking on Hwy 47. 2. The music playing on my iPod. 3. That a man that is always working in his shed while his truck doors are open playing music was MISSING.

I was taking of drink of my water on the corner of Hwy 47 and Villa Maria. When all of a sudden something hits my back tire and knocks me over a little (I did not fall!!) I turn around and it's a DONKEY. Yes, a DONKEY. A cute grey donkey. The next thing I hear (not in my head) is a man yelling "Grab the Donkey! Grab the Donkey!" So, I obey and grab the donkey. And wait patiently till he catches up to us. He said he'd been trying to catch said donkey for an hour. So, yes, I was side swiped by a donkey while riding my bike today. CRAZY!

Reasons today will be great: 1. The Lord has blessed me with another day to serve Him. 2. The radio was playing a sing-a-along to Aladdin's "Never had a Friend Like Me"

Good Times. Good Times.

Smile!
shannon_hThat is a great story! :) 
jdickensi like the part where I came home and you said "I got hit by a donkey on my bike!!" and i said "the one on 47?!" as if there's more than one donkey in our neighborhood 
graceThat's just one more thing you can add to the "Crazy Things That Have Happened to Yost" list! 
kernelThat is just awesome. And people think their lives aren't interesting. Hahahaha! 
ellwoodwdi have found live stock can be crazy drivers. i actually had a sheep charge and head-butt my car while driving down a dirt road. it didn't hurt the sheep, but put a huge dint in my car door. 
ninawow, that is the weirdest thing! Donkey's are very cute, but usually mean. 
alegnawow! That is a great story! I'm glad it was a cute donkey. =o)
