Random Versus Targeted Biopsies for Colorectal Cancer Surveillance in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Random Versus Targeted Biopsies for Colorectal Cancer Surveillance in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Doctor said there were no polyps, “everything is fine” yet, he took preliminary biopsies.

Why would he do that, if nothing is wrong? I cannot shake the feeling that something is not quite right.

Oh well. At least, I didn’t wake up during the procedure or feel the pain. They gave me a totally different drug and it worked great! So, thanks for the prayers.

I suppose they’ll call me, if they find a problem. Until then, I’m giving it to God.

The Hunt for Thieves in the Vatican

The Hunt for Thieves in the Vatican

“Stolen papers. Venom. Arrests. In the Roman curia, it’s war. The ouster of the president of the bank. The maneuvers of Cardinal Bertone. The pope’s false friends.”

My Two Cents Worth

When I saw a YouTube Video about the Pope letting three prelates not in his household have a key to his paper work, and that the Pope has a doctor and Cardinal Bertone is super bossy and possibly involved in the Vatican Banking Scandal and the Purchase of a Questionable Catholic Hospital in name only, I was worried for the Pope.

Seems this situation is rife with possible fraudulent dealings, if the Pope could be convinced he’s sick and drugged into smithereens.

Families do that to elderly parents and then jockey for a litigious, leadership position, in the family, when the parent dies. This happened in my family. Am I the only one who worried about this happening to this Pope?

Bertone seems to do what he wants, now that he has access to the Pope. He tried to acquire a liberal Catholic Hospital. The Pope finally stopped him. Makes you wonder what else was done, in the name of the Pope and it wasn’t the Pope who authorized it.

It worried me that the Pope would give the key to his private papers to so many people. He must be too trusting or naive. Or maybe he’s got his own way of ferreting out bad people. I guess I am speculating like everyone else.

Seems like it’s all come to a head, like a pimple all at the same time. In the meantime, I’ll just pray for the Pope, and leave all this in God’s hands. God’s in charge, not them.

Bilderberg 2012: Were Mitt Romney and Bill Gates there?

Bilderberg 2012: Were Mitt Romney and Bill Gates there?

I put this question to author and Bilderberg expert Webster Tarpley. Is Wall Street going to throw its chips in with Romney? “I think there’s a frisson that’s gone through the ruling class against Obama,” he says. The leak we had from the flirty hotel staffer corroborated this. “They don’t seem to like Obama very much,” he said.

Tarpley’s conclusion is this: “They want Romney and Mitch Daniels, who will run together as moderate rightists.” Governor Daniels of Indiana was on the official list.

Sunday is Corpus Christi!

Eucharistia means “thankful.” I am bowing in adoration of the One True God, who comes to me at every Mass in Holy Communion. “Mass is Prayer Par Excellence” the Vatican II document “Lumen Gentium” said.

Jesus said, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread come down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.” (John 6:54-58)

Jesus Loves us all so much! He wants Divine and Human Intimacy, with us all. “God takes delight, in His People.” He wants us to love Him as much as He Loves Us!

That’s awesome. He is more forgiving and loving than me, but wants to show me His Way, His Truths, and His Life. And, since God is Love. Love thirsts for our love, too. We Must Love, Love.

The alternative is hatred. I’ve seen the depths that hatred has descended to, and I want no part, of it. Seeing a beheading done by a Muslim to a Christian convinces me, they are wrong and need to be recalled at every Mass and prayers we pray.

God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son, so that we may have Everlasting Life. Where there is Life, there is God. Because God always was and always will be. He is Eternal Wisdom, Love and Life. And, it’s so awesome that He wants to spend Eternity loving us and making us Eternally Happy. That is worth striving for. That is worth going through anything, as long as, when it’s all said and done, I can see Jesus’ Holy Face for all Eternity.

Yet – we do get to see God veiled, ever present and hidden in the Sacred Species of the Blessed Sacrament. Mass and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and Processions are the greatest blessings of Jesus to us, after His Tender Mercy towards us, in the Sacrament of Confession.

I plan to partake in both this weekend. Because, I need God on a daily basis.

The New York Times dislikes Catholicism, loves Dissenting Sisters

The New York Times dislikes Catholicism, loves dissenting Sisters

No surprises here. Liberal Media outlets have reported the news with Anti-Catholic bias, for years. They’ve always coddled Roman Catholic Dissenters, who want their 15 minutes of infamy.

Frankly, I’d like to spank their butts, but I’m just a mom out of work. Of course, I could come out of retirement should the need arise.

CNN’s Anderson Cooper just needs to be fired. His reporting is “ridiculous!”

U.S. Bishops: DOMA Ruling is ‘A Grave Injustice’

U.S. bishops: DOMA ruling is ‘a grave injustice’

“Hopefully, this unjust ruling will be overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, for the benefit of our nation’s children, and our nation as a whole,” said Bishop Salvatore Cordileone.”

WASHINGTON, June 4, 2012 – A federal appeals court decision May 31 to strike down part of the Defense of Marriage Act is a matter of “grave injustice,” said Bishop Salvatore Cordileone of Oakland, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Subcommittee for the Promotion and Defense of Marriage.

He voiced his disappointment following the May 31 decision of the federal appeals court in Boston to strike down a portion of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).

“Marriage, the union of one man and one woman, is the cornerstone of society,” Bishop Cordileone said. “It is also the foundation of a just society, as it protects the most vulnerable segment of the population, children. Every child longs for and deserves a mother and a father, and marriage is the only institution that insures that children grow up knowing and being known by their mother and father. The public good demands that this truth of marriage be respected in law and society, not rejected.”

GRAPHIC VIDEO: MUSLIMS SLAUGHTER CHRISTIAN CONVERT IN “MODERATE” TUNISIA

GRAPHIC VIDEO: Muslims behead a Christian Man.

“Liberal talk show host Tawfiq Okasha recently appeared on “Egypt Today,” airing a video of Muslims slicing off a young man’s head off for the crime of apostasy — in this instance, the crime of converting to Christianity and refusing to renounce it. The video—be warned, it is immensely graphic—can be seen here (the actual execution appears from minute 1:13-4:00). For those who prefer not to view it, a summary follows:

A young man appears held down by masked men. His head is pulled back, with a knife to his throat. He does not struggle and appears resigned to his fate. Speaking in Arabic, the background speaker, or “narrator,” chants a number of Muslim prayers and supplications, mostly condemning Christianity, which, because of the Trinity, is referred to as a polytheistic faith: “Let Allah be avenged on the polytheist apostate”; “Allah empower your religion, make it victorious against the polytheists”; “Allah, defeat the infidels at the hands of the Muslims,” and “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.”

Then, to cries of “Allahu Akbar!”— Allah is greater!”—the masked man holding the knife to the apostate’s throat begins to slice away, severing the head completely after approximately one minute of graphic knife-carving, as the victim drowns in blood. Finally, the severed head is held aloft to more Islamic slogans of victory.

Visibly distraught, Tawfiq Okasha, the host, asks: “Is this Islam? Does Islam call for this? How is Islam related to this matter?…These are the images that are disseminated throughout the electronic media in Europe and America…. Can you imagine?” Then, in reference to Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood and Salafis, whose political influence has grown tremendously, he asks, “How are such people supposed to govern?”
Only the other day, a prominent Egyptian Salafi leader — referring to the canonical hadiths, including Muhammad’s command, “Whoever leaves his religion, kill him” — openly stated that no Muslim has the right to apostatize, or leave Islam.”

My Two Cents Worth

Why is President Obama allowing Sharia Law to take up residence in the courts of the United States? Why is he tacitly turning a blind eye to their agenda?

I am Catholic. I will never submit to Muslims. I worship the One True God. Not them. They worship Demons.

Saint Francis of Assisi in the 13th Century converted the Muslim man named Saladin to Catholicism. On his deathbed he was Baptized Catholic, upon his request.

After seeing this video I can only surmise that these Muslims are butchers! Plain. Simple. Period.

Islam is a false religion based on a false prophet, and they’re serving Satan, not the One True God – Who is Love.

I will pray for their conversion. I can only hope, that those who do not approve of killing apostates because they become Christian will stop this insanity. Muslim’s Child Marriages are insane, too.

TODAY, I will offer up my prayers, works, joys and sufferings, in Union with Christ’s Body and Blood, Present at every Mass, for anyone who is facing death from crazed people like these.

About the time you are tempted, to think you have it bad, God wakes you up to the fact, that it could be worse, and to “offer it up” for others. So I will.

May these crazed Muslims convert to the God of Love. This is organized insanity. Seems like they are in a “religious trance.”

RIP dear man. I don’t know who you are, but I will pray for you and your loved ones, who grieve your loss.

Fighting worry with prayer and humor

I’ve woke up during two past colonoscopies. A colonoscopy is a minor surgical procedure. Pray I don’t wake up during it. Once I felt the whole procedure and cried during it. Sadistic doctor didn’t even apologize for it. I should have sued. But, with what my good looks? Hardly.

Lawyers like easy cases. Mine would have meant they’d have to do their homework. Turns out I’m allergic to Morphine – rather I have “idiosyncratic reactions” to drugs. Thanks to my mom’s genes. One of my sisters has this phenomenon, too.

So, lots of prayers before surgical procedures or surgeries. I’ve had 17 surgeries, not counting about 7-8 colonoscopies. Mom had colon cancer. This gene is passed via the female mitochondria to daughters, but men get it too. My sons may dodge the bullet. However, they may have to watch out for it. Several Ophthalmologists told me the “Group Pigmentation” in both of my eyes, upon examination means I will probably get it, and to have regular colonoscopies. My Gastroenterologist examines my colon every two years, due to the signs & symptoms I have.

I hate writing about me. Or my health. But, if there is someone out there who may need a colonoscopy get it done. I was studying to be a nurse, and assisted my mom’s Gastroenterologist, during her procedure, when he found her colon cancer, the size of an orange, in her Transverse Colon. She had a “Colon Resection” and lived another 13 years.

Why am I not a nurse? I was a whistle blower at a Catholic College. My degree was used, for their revenge. They wanted me out of there. Their Nursing Classes went to the Abortion Clinic. This is another story, too tiring to write about. God’s in charge. Not them. No one gets out of here, alive.

Last 4 Things

1. Death
2. Judgment
3. Heaven or
4. Hell

Yup. We get to choose. Trick is to choose rightly, not wrongly. It’s an everyday choice. Yup. God knew we’d mess up and sin. That’s why He instituted the Sacrament of Confession.

My thoughts have rambled a bit. Mea culpa!

Have a great day. Say a little prayer for me. I will be eternally grateful. :)
