Middle America's Worldview

I am pleased to announce I have won the School Board election. I actually won pretty big in small town standards. There was a large turnout as expected due to the City Council having 2 wards being voted on the same day. I appreciate everyones vote for me on this and hope to do my best. It is a 5 year term. I also learned another board member will resign in the next meeting. Monday night will be my first School Board meeting, not as an observer. They will swear me in first thing, and then proceed. I will be required to go to Oklahoma City in the end of April for 2 days of conferences. I actually get to go with another School Board member. The School's secretary had called 2 weeks ago asking for my availble days, in case I win. I chose the same days as the other School Board member, thinking it will be more beneficial we partipate together. I should learn a better understanding of the rules and process in class as well as what really goes on outside of class by my peer.

Now that this ulcer is over with, gladly so, another one raises it's head. In 4 weeks we are scheduled to drive back to Arizona for a duration of 5 weeks there. This is for our son's medical need. The 5 weeks will consist of the full program that will alleviate our son's issue. When we went a couple of months ago it had a major difference in enhancing his progress. However, as of today, he is not progressing.

The issue was found to be a residual of metals in his body, speculated to be from his 2 year immunization shots (he is now 5). This resulted in a long arduous account of issues. Issues being seizures, inability to speak correctly, ect.

I truly believe we were lead there for the answer. At this point, I wish we stayed the full duration while we were there the last time, but I also know we really couldn't due to school, work, ect. Rather than going back and forth, it has been decided to go the full 5 weeks. The cost will be 8200 dollars in Doctor fees. Our insurance will not cover any of it, due to it not being viewed as mainstream medicine. It is Holistic. Regardless if these procedures show improvement, it simply doesn't matter. Sounds crazy, but if you have kids, you understand a parent will do simply anything to enhance his/her health. I am concerned how we will manage to find this prior of leaving. On the other hand, it must come from somewhere. Why else would we had been lead there in the first place? I don't think God sets us up for failure.

So I am asking those Christians who happen to read my blog or stumbled across this article, to please pray for me and mine. Thanks.
