Courtney and David were married today. Wow what a gorgeous bride she made. I'll share a few photos later. It's off the the lake for now. Maybe I'll take a few there to share as well.
A Truth Worth Learning
Revenge and justice are never the same thing..........

Tanner and I Easter Morn
Photo of my nephew Tanner and I Easter morning at McMinn Co High School. His family church has an Easter drama, preaching and singing each year on Easter. It was wonderful.

What's up with D?
Vitamin D. The "sunshine drug". It's the only vitamin I stay educated on because my oncologist stresses to me. ( I really need to be concerned with calcium as well.) D is directly related to decreased breast cancer recurrence and decreased mortality rates among many other health benefits.
I do not take an over the counter supplement as you can have too high vitamin D levels which is dangerous. But you can also have too low. Be careful either way. I let Dr. Charles, (the best oncologist in the world in my book), decide what I need.
A blood test can keep you informed of your vitamin D and if they are at healthy levels or not. (Most people have enough vitamin D from sunshine.) I believe the healthy number is around thirty? Mine will hover around fifteen at least once a year. So 50,000 iu once a week for three months puts me around twenty eight. I never hit thirty but that's fine. Twenty eight is a good level.
So talk to your doctor about a yearly vitamin D check. Would probably be easy to have done at same time of having cholesterol checkup if you have that.
The below link is a pretty good article on vitamin D. Very informative.
