Speed Blogging

It's like speed dialing, but it starts with blog...

I guess it's just going to be one of those weeks where I don't get much done here. So here's a quick rundown of things.

New Internet Video Series
Jimmy Moore is once again on the cutting edge of things, and in this post tells us about the latest internet video series that I believe all low-carbers should see. I watched this interview with Dr. Mary Vernon last night (while folding laundry) and it's fantastic. I highly recommmend you take the time to see it. I'll be watching it again to make sure I didn't miss anything. I'm looking forward to the many other videos to come!


We're Back!
For those of you who felt completely displaced when a hacker took down the Low-Carb Disscussion forum, I'm happy to announce that we are back up and running at full speed. The new forum is at www.livinlowcarbdiscussion.com and is better than ever. Not only are there fun new features, but this baby is secure and being backed up daily. Sadly, we lost a lot of great content from the other forum. But many of us are working as fast as we can to get what little bit that was saved back up for everyone. I'm very happy to announce that the Good Calories Bad Calories reviews, posted by our wonderful Moderator Charles, are slowly being put back up. If you were a member of the old forum, please come join us once again. If you are new to our support forum, we'd love to have you join us! We really are just like family there!


Low-Carb Cruise in 2009
For those of you who may not have heard, last year approx. 45 low-carbers all got together for a Cruise to Mexico. They had a fantastic time and have planned to do it again. On this cruise you could meet many of your online friends, including myself, Jimmy Moore, Christin Sherburne, and the one and only Dr. Jonny Bowden! You can find out all the details by going here,
here, and here. I hope to see you there!


My Life
Things are busy here. We are trying to finish up school and get ready for summer. I can't wait! I need the break and so do the kids. There's more going on than I really have time to get into, but I promise I'll get back to more in depth blogging as soon as things calm down.

Have a good one!

Please Help The Sherburne Family

Many of you already know about the horrible car accident that injured Christin Sherburne, her husband and two small children on Jan. 1st. After spending the day with family they were traveling home when they were in a three-car accident. From the way I understand it, the car rolled and sent all the contents inside flying everywhere. Thankfully everyone was buckled in. But when a car is damaged this bad, you aren't walking away without some injuries.



It was really a miracle of God that anyone left this car alive! I'm praising God that both the children were fine, although banged up. Her husband is doing better and may be able to go back to work soon. But Christin herself sustained most of the injuries. She's been in a lot of pain and I know she appreciates all the prayers that have been ascending to Heaven for her.

While I personally believe prayer is the most beneficial way we can help them right now, there is another way we can lend a hand to this family in need. They not only have huge medical bills racking up everyday, but they also have lost one income now that Christin is unable to work. Her recovery could take some time, and you know how difficult each missed day can be in regards to paying the bills. Thankfully there has been a fund send up to help with these enormous expenses. Of course one person may not feel like their donation can really make a difference, but together we could each donate a small amount to help them through this tough time, and that could add up fast! Whether you are able to just give $5, or as much $100, her family will be forever grateful for the gift of love. I know my husband and I are planning on making our donation on Friday (after payday). It won't be much, but I know with other donations it can go along way to helping them through the rough spots ahead.

So if you feel lead to help this family out, you can donate through Paypal. All the details for donations, as well as updates, can be found at http://www.sherburne-relief-fund.org/.

May God bless each of you!
