Top of the prize pile was a container of cornbread cakes shaped like discs. I love those things. <\/p>\n<p>This morning, with my glasses on (didn&#8217;t have them in the store) I realized I&#8217;d bought a package of shortcakes. Without strawberries to put on them they&#8217;re kind of bland. Chucked them in the trash. <\/p>\n<p>But I still had plasma to consume to make it better. I had a large cup of coffee instead. That went well until I realized I&#8217;d just poured <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eggbeaters.com\/?gclid=CI7GlrLn87UCFYxDMgod7T8AnQ\">Egg Beaters<\/a> into the mug instead of half and half. Not really, but without the specs it&#8217;s a risk we&#8217;ll need to examine in detail.<\/p>\n<p>And to think I was amused by stories of people brushing their teeth with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.preparationh.com\/?s_kwcid=TC|18733|preparation%20h||S|e|20666618293\">Preparation H<\/a>. Now I know how it happens.<\/p>\n<p>The picture below is for my friend Steve. Steve still needs your prayers. And when he escapes from the hospital I promise him a meal that looks just like this. Please make an effort to pray for Steve and Holly every time you get a break on Monday. And for the rest of the week. Yes, he needs serious prayer warriors in his camp. I&#8217;ve been praying all day for him. Heck, even threw a few skyward when I woke up in the middle of the night. Please join me in that effort. There&#8217;s thousands of you reading this blog now and I am counting on you. Thanks in advance.<\/p>\n<p>Extra <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bacon\">bacon<\/a>, Steve!
