Defend them day by day with your heavenly grace; strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be. Amen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Thanks Melody, but I cannot take credit for it. It is the prayer for those in the armed service from the Book of Common Prayer (Episcopal Church). I certainly wish I could take credit for it! _____________________________ Re: Off Topic Dear Jim, What a Beautiful Prayer, Thank you for sharing it with me. .

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Well I will give you credit for it Jim, it was you who shared it and I really appreciated you taking a moment to remember our boys in the armed forces. I know what you mean though, I pray several times a day and I don't come up with anything that Beautiful :-) I guess the most important thing is to pray and believe in the Power of Prayer.

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 It almost sounds like an aura. An aura is a funny taste/smell/feeling someone can get just before a migraine or seizure. Here's a kid explanation of seizures with auras: http://www.pediatricneurology.com/seizures_for_kids.htm Some kids have a warning before the seizure starts. That's called an " aura. " The aura can be a twitching movement of one part of your body, a funny feeling in your stomach, a tingling feeling, funny vision or speech, or just about anything your brain is capable of doing. It's basically the actual beginning of a seizure. During an aura, the part of your brain that is not having the seizure is watching the part of your brain that is having it. These are called " partial seizures, " meaning that they start in only part of the brain. Sometimes the seizure stays in only one part of the brain; and othertimes, the seizure may spread to other parts. If you have a special way that your seizure starts, make sure to tell your parents and doctors. That way, they can best help control your seizures. Some kids have no warning before the seizure. Perhaps the aura was so brief that it couldn't be noticed. Or, perhaps, the seizure is the type that begins by immediately involving the whole brain. If the whole brain is having a short circuit, then there isn't any part of the brain awake enough to keep you properly awake. These are called " generalized " seizures, since they have generalized to the whole brain. During the generalized part of a seizure, we are not aware of what is happening to us. People around us may say that we were staring off into space like some zombie, or they may say that we fell to the ground and were totally " out of it " and shaking. Sometimes, the seizure is just a quick jerk of our arms, and that's it. This type of seizure often happens in the morning. If you have this type of " myoclonic " seizure, tell your doctor.
