I suffer from an incurable chronic neur...Hi there! <br />I suffer from an incurable chronic neurological disease called Stiff Person Syndrome. It causes 'severe' muscles spasms in my back and goes all the way down to my toes. Only 1 in 1 million people get this. They don't know why and it affects so few people, there is not enough money to research the disease like they should.<br />I would LOVE to read this book to see how these characters handle their chronic disease on a daily basis with the Lord's help. I have learned to rely on the Lord A LOT!! However, perhaps there is MORE I can do to help me better manage this disease.<br />This disease is a bummer because it keeps me homebound. I cannot drive, I cannot even ride in the car as a passenger as the movement of the vehicle brings on the spasms. The only place I go are to doctors' offices! The only time I go to the store is around Christmas to pick up odds and ends for my kids, and maybe once in the summer. My husband has to lug the wheelchair around, which has been hurting his back over this last year. He's 53, and has always worked physical labor, so . . . <br />I would LOVE to learn how the Plain people handle chronic illness. I have lost most of my friends and have almost no family left. It can be very lonely.<br />We have tried attending churches, but the ones around us do NOT seem conducive to people like me. At first they are glad you come, but then I don't know what it is? They don't really want you to attend much. I wonder if they worry about liabilities? Or Handicap accessibility? Most churches are accessible to the chapel/church, but getting into any other part of the church is NOT accessible. That is when they discourage us from attending any functions. <br />To top it off, it is very uncomfortable for me to sit in the wheelchair for a length of time anyway, so my husband and I have given up.<br />Quilts!! Oh quilts!!! If you only knew HOW MANY I have made!!! I started quilting when I was a senior in High School! My first quilt is a Sampler Quilt with Flyng Geese all around as the border. The funniest thing in the world is this: it is SOOOO long! It is LONGER than a California King Size bed! I don't know WHAT I was thinking??!! EVERY time my son and I make his bed, we laugh!! My future husband back then was over 6 feet tall, and I wanted our 'future family' to be able to snuggle under that quilt and watch TV & movies! I guess I figured it would cover 10 kids!! It is the funniest thing! When you tuck it under, it goes half way up to the top of the bed!! LOL!<br />I would LOVE to read this book! I will also write a review on it!!<br />I am SOOOO glad a book has been written, and an AMISH BOOK, at that! ABOUT CHRONIC DISEASE!!!! YEAH!!!!! I KNOW there will be scripture in there I will be able to use as well!! I look forward to that as well!<br />Do you know HOW MANY PEOPLE this will help?! LOTS!!!<br />Thank you SO much for this giveaway!! I will have to visit the Author's page and thank her for writing this book for those of us with Chronic diseases! HOW HELPFUL!!!<br />Thank YOU, again, for the gracious giveaway!!<br />Laurie Carlson<br />I live in Michigan!!!<br />Just a little north of me there is a large group of Old Order Amish!!! To bad it hurts to much to drive around in the car! Plus, these would be DIRT ROADS!! UGH!!

And you have 55 birds ... sigh, I'm so jealous :) My DH caps mine at 12 only because the coop doesn't have expandable walls. <br /><br />But he's a rescuer, too ... one day last year I lost a bird, and that very afternoon he spotted a pullet dodging cars on the freeway on-ramp. He stopped, jumped out, and caught her, and brought her home to me. Picture this big woolly guy straight-arming the wheel of the truck, with a tiny red bird in the other hand, cuddled up to his chest. He's such a keeper :)Adina Senfthttp://www.adinasenft.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021813.post-61023538147707557542011-09-08T09:47:02.185-07:002011-09-08T09:47:02.185-07:00The Wounded Heart sounds like a neat read.

If she's not used to being handled, just slip one hand under her feet so she feels secure, and she'll calm right down.<br /><br />And yes, I do eat the eggs ... we don't have a rooster so the eggs are for breakfast :) <br /><br />In the third book of this trilogy, The Tempted Soul, the heroine is childless and treats her chickens as surrogate children.
