Have a good time at the gym Paula. It is stressful watching the news and makes it hard knowing there is nothing we can do except pray. Love back at ya girl....Bren 

Exercise and walking certainly does help stress...so hard to watch the news and be so helpless. Much love.  

Every screen in the GYM was NEWS! Can't escape it... so I prayed through it. Every station, every picture, every topic... great way to just keep praying! You know, I have so often heard myself say "...there's nothing we can do 'except' prayer..." BUT, prayer is the most FANTASTIC thing we can do! So I don't say that anymore! My first response, my first line of defense is to PRAY... and I came away from my workout time feeling rejuvenated and alive!!! And grateful! Hope you all enjoy your weekend! 

Hi Paula! Thanks for the kind words on my journal. You are such an inspiration sister. Amen to the prayer. Have a blessed rest of the weekend. Love and Hugs{{{}}} 

Paula, I understand how you feel. I walked yesterday for the first time in months. I feel so sad for these poor people. I am praying for them also! And you are absolutely right, prayer is the strongest action we can take! Nice to see your scale is moving in the right direction again. Hugs and love to ya, and have a great weekend!  

Paula I know what you mean,.,, it is hard to fathom and gut wrenching. To feel good when we see things of great magnatude and devastation is not easy. I beleive it is our duty to honor those who transitioned on by living our best lives...TOWANDA!!  

Thanks Stef - Me too :)))) (on the scale thing!) I find when I am away from the tv and the news... I quickly get back into the swing of things, and life takes over, and my mood improves... but then I see it, or someone starts talking about something new regarding it... and it's just so heartbreaking. That's when I stop to pray the most. It makes me realize how important my relationship w/ the Lord really is. Much Love to you...hope you have a great weekend, too!!! 

love ya'll...going to take a nap! then...date night!!! :)))
