I am patient with stupidity but not with those who are proud of it. ~ Edith Sitwell
“I have no reservations saying that your son is definitely on the Autism Spectrum,” his psychiatrist said. I had been waiting for those words for twelve years, nine months, and nineteen days. I knew when he was born that my son, Troy, was “different.” He had “trouble transitioning” after birth and was placed in the NICU for two hours until he was too hungry to keep there. He was an extremely needy baby. He wanted me and only me twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, three hundred and sixty-five days a year. No one else would do. I went through near hell trying to figure out all of the ins and outs of nursing him and had almost every problem a mother can encounter in doing so. When he began to eat solid foods, he would stuff his chubby cheeks so full that he would gag before he would figure out that he needed to swallow. His development was slower than other babies of the same age; the only thing he did do “on time” was sit up. For everything else he was at least a few months behind other kids his age. Then there was church preschool… His teacher would tell me almost daily that he had a tough time moving from one activity to another. He would get really frustrated if he had to stop doing something that he wanted to do and move to an activity that he liked less. Sharing toys and working with others were also issues that caused a near meltdown over every day. BUT, there were also his artistic abilities… At age three, he drew a 3-D perspective drawing of a Great White shark coming head-on towards the viewer. THREE-YEAR-OLDS DON’T DO THAT! Shortly thereafter, he copied Vincent Van Gogh’s “Starry Night.” And he has continued to excel in the visual arts, reading, and writing, especially comics and character drawing.

RECOMMENDS GOOD FOOD
If you LOVE beautiful tasty food… this is the place to go!
Family owned & operated. We have had numerous date nights here and have never been disappointed. The owners, Mr. and Mrs. Kenny Wang go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect. We don’t eat the REAL sushi, but the cooked choices are absolutely awesome. You literally want to get every drop of their sauces sopped up just like gravy on a biscuit. BEST Sushi Tip? Try to get a taste of all of the roll at once. It’s not too pretty, but it's meant to be eaten together so that the flavors blend just right! Everything on all of the plates is meticulously placed and perfectly seasoned. Each item we’ve ordered, (and we’ve ordered a lot!) is a cut above other places. The lobster roll is excellent and it’s got real Snow crab in it. The fried rice is so much better than you get at most places and the assorted dipping sauces are really spectacular. CLICK HERE to see the rest of the review and more awesome food porn photos. Or CLICK the business card above to look at their menu and prices or place an ONLINE ORDER to pick up. You won’t be disappointed, we promise!
Got Any Suggestions for us? We only review family owned establishments and we only do it for FREE. That way we don't have to put lipstick on any pigs. :) Email lynn@santafegoodnews.com

At peace with God, with ourselves and with the life we have created... that is serenity lived out. Peace is to sit down comfortably in the middle of the life we have been given & enjoy it. A heart at peace gives life to the body. Prov. 14:30
Reign It In... You control your mind, you can control your world. We all know not to let our minds go too far and scare ourselves silly with scary movies and the like, but we allow our minds to ping pong around all kinds of other things. We don’t see any danger in allowing our minds to wander wherever they want to go.
I still have to constantly discipline it to focus on what I need or want to focus on. I guess you have to do that your whole life. If not, it becomes like an unruly uncontrollable child. It heads off down old paths I no longer want to travel on or it brings up every bad thing it can find.
I think controlling our minds is renewing our minds. We determine what thoughts we allow in and which ones are allowed to stay. We focus on what is important to us The best lesson I’ve ever learned is and this is how “me and my house serve the Lord”. to reign my mind in.

Jeanne Robertson is a professional speaker who specializes in hilarious humor based on her life experiences. Speaking to thousands of people annually, she utilizes her positively funny style to illustrate that a sense of humor is much more than a laughing matter. Other speakers might be as witty as Jeanne. Some might even be as tall. (Barefooted with her hair "mashed" down, she's 6'2" in her size 11B stocking feet.) But nowhere will you find a speaker so adept at turning personal experiences into funny material that does more than elicit laughter. This Miss Congeniality winner in the Miss America Pageant, “Yearrrrrrrrrrrs ago,� quoting Jeanne, uses her down-home Southern drawl to leave her audiences laughing . . . and thinking about her message.
If it's GOOD NEWS about anything or anyone anywhere... We Want You to Know About It!
*If there is something GOOD to say about someone, some thing or some event happening, we want to print it right here so that you and everyone else will know about it. WHY? Because a balanced diet (of words or food) is a healthy way to live. If you only feed yourself a steady diet of bad news... you can't possibly live the GOOD, abundant life GOD intended for you to live. Email us at lynn@santafegoodnews.com if you’ve got something GOOD to SHARE with the world. “I believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you’re able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something... it’s about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.” ~ Joyce Meyer

I’m Patient!
What are you doing? Are you trying to help anyone besides yourself? This is not about you! I don’t sit up here looking at just you. I have the whole world to consider and so should you. Whether or not you are enjoying yourself and having everything go your way is not the point. You keep searching for your happiness and forgetting about everyone else.
Sunny Side Up!
You have your life tangled up and twisted around because your motive is wrong. I put you here to flow in a certain direction and to accomplish certain things. You can’t keep getting sidetracked like this. You have too many directions you’re trying to take. You have one life and I’m the director of it, not you. These problems and your own frustrations are deterring you from your course. Listen to Me! What do you hear? I want good things, for you and for everyone else. I want you to do the right thing because it’s right, not because it’s comfortable. I want you to give to others, to bless people, which is why you’re here! That’s what will make you happy. You have one goal, one purpose and as long as you ignore it, you can’t be happy. You can’t keep focusing on yourself and expect to be happy. It’s a pretty simple system and yet you seem confused. I’m not confusing you. You know when you’re on track. You know when I’m pleased with what you have done. Stop running around trying to bless yourself. When problems come, and they will, stay focused on Me. I’ll tell you when to turn, when to walk away and when to run. I’ll show you the way, but you have to be willing to go!
God Patience is... A man who does not advertise is like a man winking in the dark... He knows what he is doing... but no one else does!
The capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.
“Smiling faces make you happy and Good News makes you feel better.” Proverbs15:30 Good News Translation
