Louisiana's New Autism Insurance Coverage LAW!

Governor Jindal signed the autism bill.  It's a law now.  Not effective until Jan. 1, 2009, but still... it's a LAW.

wow.

We're going to have insurance coverage for autism.  No more automatic no. 

Though there is a lifetime cap, so we'll have to work hard to make sure that the diagnosis code things are all correct.  I don't want them deciding that a strep throat visit should be put in the lifetime cap!

wow.

Did I say wow?

All I Can Say

I keep trying to remember a verse from 1 Thessalonians.  It's a simple verse, just three words.  Easy to memorize, hard to keep in practice.  "Always be joyful."

Too bad that there isn't a verse that says "Always be Eeyore."  That I could master easily.  But I keep trying to be joyful instead.

It's kind of evident from my lack of communication that life is busy and difficult.  Or difficult and busy.  Not sure which order to put those in.  Some things I do not feel like talking about.  Some things I can not talk about here.  Some things... well, maybe I should talk about them, but I've been too busy to get my thoughts in order long enough.

I've been listening to a song from David Crowder Band over and over again.  I'm hoping for an Ipod for my birthday.  I've asked all the people who normally give me gifts to give me a few bucks instead toward my Ipod fund.  I think I'll have enough :-).  Then I'll have to figure out how to load it up.  One song I will definitely have on it will be "All I Can Say".  It says a lot about what's going on right now - so I'll just write the lyrics here and hope that I'm not violating a copyright or something.  It's an awesome song.

All I Can Say - David Crowder Band

Lord I'm tired
So tired from walking
And Lord I'm so alone
And Lord the dark
Is creeping in
Creeping up
To swallow me
I think I'll stop
Rest here a while

And didn't You see me cry'n?
And didn't You hear me call Your name?
Wasn't it You I gave my heart to?
I wish You'd remember
Where you sat it down

Chorus:
And this is all that I can say right now
And this is all that I can give

Bridge:
I didn't notice You were standing here
I didn't know that
That was You holding me
I didn't notice You were cry'n too
I didn't know that
That was You washing my feet
