I was very excited to have the opportunity to review a very unique take on getting the Word in our lives. It is called, "Contemplate the Bible Magazine." I don't do a lot of reviews, mostly because of time, and there are not a lot of things out there I want to invest my time in when it comes to reviews. However, this intrigued me, so I jumped. It’s the Bible in magazine form! Literally. Big plans for this innovative way to spread the Word: They are planning on printing the ENTIRE New Testament over the next 4 years (24 issues featuring one or more books of the NT) They are also working on getting Contemplate in to the prison system AND deployed soldiers overseas.

Mom just had a few bad headaches, (to my recollection). And she had her last cycle at the age of 44. Well of course, I thought I would follow suit and inherit her good fortune. Wrong!! I did however put an end to my heavy cycles since my OB/GYN performed the oblation. And thank God for small favors!! Since the beginning of March, I am cycle free. Yeah! But wait, it's not all coming up roses for me now, far from it! I'm experiencing the effects of menopause in the worst way. The hot flashes I can handle. Don't get me wrong; they are NOT fun. LOL.
