Night terrors and fears at night

I am not a doctor. I make no claim to know what causes night terrors, or why we have bad dreams. I am only sharing from my own personal experience, and what disturbs my sleep at night. Maybe you have had trouble yourself falling asleep in the evening, or you wake up at 2 in the morning, worrying about this and that! If so, you are not alone! It is not uncommon for many of us to have our worries or fears when we could be sleeping. It happens!

We are vulnerable late at night. At this time, everyone else is sleeping -- we haven't settled our concerns about what went on during our day. There is no one to talk to at that hour, or those who we could talk to have business hours only during daylight hours. They are not available when we need them! Sound familiar? I have laid awake for hours worrying about how my doctor's nurse left me a message to call her back and I forgot! It's Friday night, and I broke a crown eating potato chips! I can't go to church Sunday with a broken front tooth! My truck is making a funny noise. What's up with that? There are a thousand things to worry about lying in bed -- in the dark! We can't solve our problems in the middle of the night. We fret and sweat under the sheets!

So, my "post" is going to be short. I am not going to pretend I have the answers! I don't! What I hope like to achieve in this, my sharing, is to say, "Go easy on yourself late at night." Don't attempt to make serious decisions, that are better considered tomorrow and after the sun comes up! Our fears can take on a much different, lesser scale after our world wakes up and its light outside. 

Also, don't forget, Jesus is our morning star! He comes to take away our fears, I believe He will!

Bipolar Express

What is Bipolar Express ? Why did I choose to title this message "Bipolar Express?" For those that have symptoms of, or who are already suffering from the disorder known as; being bipolar --  having one's doctor accurately diagnose this medical condition as soon as possible is very important!  I want to help everyone who might be suffering from the extreme highs and lows of these mood swings by providing some direction to reliable resources. Not everyone knows whether they have symptoms of bipolar, or what they should do about them. Hopefully, my information will help someone. 1. Feeling sad, empty or hopeless most of the day. every day can be a symptom of bipolar. 2. Trouble sleeping at night and staying awake all day can be a symptom. 3. Often feeling worthless or guilty all the time is not normal, may be a symptom of bipolar. 4. Work, family and/or social life is suffering. 5. At times, feeling very euphoric, revved up, and/or irritable. Dopamine: Science has shown th...

Texas' Big Bend Country

  How can I describe this snapshot of our Texas-Mexico border, taken on a trip we made to our Texas Big Bend country, other than spectacular ! We were driving Texas' state road 170 heading to Presidio from Terlingua. We were a little spooked since we were the only vehicle on the road. Along this section of the road, we didn't pass any other cars or trucks. I must say, this desolate part of Texas is just as rugged as it is beautiful! Every curvy turn of this lonely highway presented yet another picture postcard panorama. It would be hard to believe anyone would risk their life crossing such treacherous terrain, but I imagine some have, at one time or another. In the summer, temperatures go well into the hundreds and the dangers of heat exhaustion and death are very real! Diamond-back rattle snakes and scorpions happily make this desert their home -- we never saw any though. We held our breath while traveling on this deserted, stretch of road, not wanting to think of having any ...

Laminin - What holds us together

LAMININ. Today, my story is about Laminin, a tiny family of protein cells that is the sticky glue that holds our bodily tissue and microscopic cells all together. God's amazing creation! In our Bible, Colossians 1:17 reads: By Him (Yeshua) all things are held together. I believe it is by no coincidence that under an extremely powerful microscope we can see this little protein cell bears the shape of a cross ! (Graphic representation above.) There's more! I include these links below for my reader's convenience to more explicit information about this little Laminin fact. GOOGLE: "How Great is Our God Laminin Louie Giglio" A video featuring this great work of God! Louie describes our universe, and then, this amazing, tiny protein cell: LAMININ. Truly amazing! You will want to watch this video in its entirety. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=the+cross+in+our+bodies+by+a+physician+louie+giglio&&view=detail&mid=46E7CD8941087BBD7BA546E7CD8941087BBD7BA5...
