Tonight was the thirty-one meeting where I shared with my thirty-one family my scripture card experience.  I also gave them their own scripture cards.  I trust that God will use those and my story in a very unique and profound way.  If you are a member of my thirty-one family that received a card tonight, please feel free to comment (especially if you now have your own scripture card story!).

Today is World Diabetes Day - What's that?....

World Diabetes Day takes place on 14 November every year and is an official United Nations World Day. The date was chosen because it marks the birthday of Frederick Banting, who, along with Charles Best, is credited with the discovery of insulin. While many events take place on or around the day itself, a themed campaign runs throughout the year.

World Diabetes Day was introduced by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1991, in response to concern over the escalating incidence of diabetes around the world. Since then, the event has grown in popularity every year.
