Chick-fil-A manager intervenes in vaccination snafu: The power of courage and the liberation of limitations
February 4, 2021 - Jim Denison, PhD

This headline caught my eye recently: "A Chick-fil-A manager saved a drive-thru Covid-19 vaccination clinic after traffic backed up."
When the computer system handling vaccine registrations went down in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, hundreds of people were left waiting for hours. The mayor told reporters that he called the local Chick-fil-A manager, who "showed us how to do it right." His intervention reduced the hours-long wait to just fifteen minutes.

In another story of altruism, firefighters in Connecticut executed a daring rescue this week to save a man and woman trapped in a pickup truck. Monday's nor-easter drove their vehicle into Long Island Sound, filling it with water. The woman escaped through the truck's rear window, but the man was stuck inside the vehicle.
Firefighters stretched their tower ladder over the freezing water, where they pulled the man through one of the truck's windows after the vehicle was completely submerged. Watching the video reminds me that we should be grateful every day for firefighters and all who risk their lives for us.
In sad news, Captain Sir Tom Moore has passed away. Last April, the World War II veteran pledged to walk one hundred laps around his garden before his one-hundredth birthday to raise money for the "heroes" at Britain's National Health Service. His original goal was to raise $1,250, but he raised nearly $45 million in donations from around the world and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth last summer.
"Courage is almost a contradiction in terms"
We live in a world in great need of courageous altruism.
Yesterday we discussed the rising threats evangelical Christians are facing from censorship and discrimination. Today, I'd like us to reframe such obstacles as opportunities.
A dear friend sent me this profound statement by G. K. Chesterton: "Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. . . . A soldier surrounded by enemies, if he is to cut his way out, needs to combine a strong desire for living with a strange carelessness about dying. . . . He must seek his life in a spirit of furious indifference to it; he must desire life like water and yet drink death like wine."
How can we find the courage to pay any price for our faith? Consider three ways God is redeeming the challenges of our days.
One: He is using the pandemic to show us our need for him.
Gavin Calver leads the United Kingdom's Evangelical Alliance. In an interview with Christianity Today, he states: "For years the church has been answering questions the world wasn't asking, but since the pandemic, 25 percent of the population of the UK has been to church online at least once. Normally only 5 percent of the population goes to church. We're calling it mortality salience, which is an awareness of your own fragility. You might die one day, so you start asking the big questions" (his italics).
God's word is clear: "It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment" (Hebrews 9:27). The reality of death is clearer for many than ever before, and God is using this clarity to bring many to himself.
Who in your relational circles is asking the "big questions"? Who is experiencing loss, pain, or other challenges in these hard times? If you will have the courage to share your faith and compassion with them, God will use you to draw them to his grace.
Two: He is using our limitations to liberate us.
In Keeping Hope: Favourite Prayers for Modern Living, Michel Quoist makes this remarkable statement: "Your limitations are not simply obstacles to your success—they are also indications from God of the path your life is to take."
Paul's closed doors in Asia and Bithynia led him to Troas, where his Macedonian vision brought the apostle and the gospel to Europe (Acts 16:6–10). The Western world would never be the same.
What closed doors are you facing? Have you asked your Lord to use them for his purposes in your life? If you will have the courage to follow wherever he leads, he will lead you into eternal significance.
Three: He is using our community to draw the lost to Christ.
In his Christianity Today interview, Rev. Calver described a meal his church hosted at which fifteen men attended from fourteen nationalities.
An observer asked, "What on earth are you?"
Calver replied, "What do you think we are?"
The man said, "I think you're the church. No other group in this community can get this diverse group of people around the same table, eating together, laughing together, and being together."
Calver added, "The church can do something the world can't do."
In response to the compassionate unity of the first Christians, "More than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women" (Acts 5:14). When lost people see Christians acting as the family of faith, many will want what we have.
In a pandemic of disease that is escalating a pandemic of loneliness and depression, whom do you know who needs community in Christ? If you will have the courage to reach out to those who would not reach out to you, God will use you to draw them into his eternal family.
"In the middle, we hold firm"
Gavin Calver's description of his culture relates directly to ours: "The United Kingdom is a challenging landscape. It is an increasingly secular one. Whatever happens that's really wonderful between now and the end of time, whatever happens that's really horrible and difficult between now and the end of time, we know, at the end of the story, Jesus wins.
"Therefore, in the middle, we hold firm. We stand firmly on his word, and we do what we can to make him known."
Let's join him today, to the glory of God.

On the right: 3 days post fat-fasting.
I didn't take pre & post fat fast photos because ... I'm a dummy.
A Fat Fast is a type of fasting where you eat about 80-90% of your calories from fat while keeping your calorie intake low (between 1000-1200) and followed for no more than 3-5 days.
This type of fasting is often recommended for those who are already keto-adapted (meaning someone who has been following a keto diet where carbohydrates are restricted to about 20-40 net grams a day and the body has begun producing ketones putting them into a state of ketosis) and has reached a weight loss plateau for more than 2-3 weeks.
A fat fast can also serve the purpose of getting yourself back into a state of ketosis following a high-carb "cheat meal".
Duh, someone who is not already fat adapted/ following a keto diet.
Someone looking for a "quick fix". Sure, you'll drop some pounds over a 3-5 day period but if you do not follow through with restricting carbohydrates and keeping your daily caloric intake below a surplus then again, duh, you're just going to add those pounds lost right back on.
has the propensity to "fly off the handle" if the scale bumps up a pound because you will gain back a pound or two following the lowest weight reached during a fat fast.
I experimented with a fat fast for 5 days last Thursday through Monday with the primary intention of practical application of a fat fast so I can arm my keto-clients with first hand experience. Additionally, I had celebrated my birthday with an ice cream "cheat-treat" so there was an added benefit for me to kick myself back into ketosis (assuming I was kicked-out following a high-carb indiscretion).
*Note: I did not regularly check my blood-ketones the months prior my fat fast attempt. I follow a "keto-diet" but I do not feel the need to nerd out on myself and track my blood ketone levels.
I typically fast intermittently, meaning 4-5 days a week I take in only a small amount of calories from fat in the morning and then eat the bulk of my daily calories between 2 and 9 pm. Therefore, I didn't have much difficulty with the idea of having to restrict my calories (by 800-1000 calories) because during the fast I was still taking in the majority in a short window (between 2 & 9 PM). I imagine if you are used to eating a solid 3 meals a day + snacking then the actual "habit" of eating would make restricting calories on a fast more challenging.
Thursday, Day 1: I was fine until I got hangry around 8 PM. I did OrangeTheory in the morning.
Friday, Day 2: I felt better about spreading my calories out throughout the day to avoid the hangry-episode. I did not workout on this day.
Saturday, Day 3: Got pretty bored with my food choices and had a breakdown moment where I thought to myself, "why do I do this to myself?" Mostly was annoyed with myself for scheduling a fast over the weekend when I have more downtime and tend to eat out more frequently. Did 90 minute Hot Yoga on this day and felt good energy-wise.
Sunday, Day 4: Totally felt like I was in a good groove. Probably drank too much coffee on this day but I had a good distraction from food while spending the majority of the day at a Ski & Snowboard Expo. Did not workout on this day.
Monday, Day 5: Felt great energy-wise. Did OrangeTheory in the am. Felt like I could continue fasting for several more days (*not recommended to go longer than 5 days to avoid going into starvation mode and subsequent muscle loss).
This was the only meal each day where I added protein in the form of either bacon, prosciutto, or sashimi (salmon or tuna).
I added fat to this meal meet my daily calorie goal (1000-1200 calories) in the form of macadamia nuts, avocado, and/or a small amount of cheese or nut butter.
I drank 1.5 gallons of water each day and pretty much sipped on my morning coffee all day or had a second (or third) cup adding only heavy cream. I tracked my intake in My Fitness Pal on day 2, 3, and 4.
I was kind of a bloated mess on the morning of day 1, (ice cream bloat + the end of Shark Week), so my starting weight of 152 was about 2-4 pounds heavier than my normal weight. I tend to stay between 147 and 151 pounds depending on the week. Guys don't understand this but I know you ovulating ladies do: I get what I refer to as "two good weeks" per month followed by PMS week and Shark Week in which my weight goes up 4-6 pounds… like whoa.
I am now 3 days post fat-fast and my weight this morning was 145 point something. Since Tuesday I have been "reversing" myself back up to the calorie intake I was set at before the fast as well as slowly adding protein back in each day.
If you're interested in starting a keto diet or a fat fast but unsure where & how to begin or if you're just looking for nutrition or fitness plan that works with your lifestyle you can contact me for more info on my 12 week guided programs.
I'm taking on 2 more new clients this month, 10 in December, and 20 in January. If you want to wait to get started after the holidays you can Commit NOW to begin in JANUARY and you'll get an extra 4 weeks of Nutrition Coaching!
Shoot me an email and I'll get you set up with a nutrition or fintess plan aligned with your goals and lifestyle!

Without further delay, here are 13 places Game of Thrones was filmed in Ireland that you'll recognize from the show.

Here are a few quick things to know before going in search of your favorite location.
The show brings alive a world filled with warring factions, dragons, White Walkers, giants, and vivid characters that you will fall in love with over and over again. Set in fictional continents known as Westeros and Essos, Game Of Thrones has everything you could wish to see in a fantasy story or movie.
But for those asking, "Where in Northern Ireland is Game of Thrones filmed?" we're proud to present the multiple filming locations in this beautiful part of the world.
The filming headquarters for this show were at Belfast Studios, but producers often took scenes out into the wild, using natural landscapes to bring these fictional characters and worlds to life.
Visiting Ireland without a car, or just don't feel like driving around on your own? You can join plenty of tours to have someone else be a tour guide while you relax and take pictures. Many of them include other popular tourist attractions as well, so you'll get in plenty of sightseeing!
This GOT tour from Dublin includes stops in Belfast, Giant's Causeway, and filming locations like the Dark Hedges and the Antrim Coast.
You'll love this interactive Winterfell Trek that lets you put on winter cloaks, see video clips to see how certain scenes were filmed in the very place you're standing at, and walk through crumbling 12th-century ruins.
This Northern Ireland tour will take you to the Dark Hedges, Cushendun Caves, and more while you learn fun facts about the show and even get to dress up in costumes for pictures if you want.
Here are some of the top Game of Thrones locations you can see for yourself.
One of the earliest and most popular Game of Thrones shooting locations is the Dark Hedges in Northern Ireland. The site appeared in the first episode of season two, King's Road, and this was where Arya Stark disguises herself as a boy and escapes King's Landing with several other members of the Night's Watch.
Since airing, the eerie row of trees has become one of the most popular attractions in the region and sits on many people's Ireland bucket lists. It is often included in Coastal Causeway tours, making for a wonderful day trip from Belfast or Dublin.
The UNESCO-listed Coastal Causeway is a must-see Irish landmark. When touring, you will get to see the magical location along with several other Game of Thrones filming sites. You will also learn more about the tree-shrouded Dark Hedges road and get insider gossip about popular characters with a guide.
The Dark Hedges is one of the most popular places where Game of Thrones was filmed. However, local authorities have recently banned non-essential traffic to protect the trees from damage in degradation because of its popularity. You can park at several places across the street and then walk to the Dark Hedges.
Location: Bregagh Rd, Stranocum, Ballymoney
Several important scenes from Game of Thrones season two were filmed nearby at Dunluce Castle. You can find this attraction in County Antrim, which is two hours north of Dublin and 20 minutes west of Ballintoy Harbour by car.
Keep in mind that the show heavily embellished the structure before filming. So don't expect a replica of the Greyjoys' tower which saw the torture of Theon Greyjoy. While Theon may never want to see this island again, this is a lovely place to visit on your Northern Ireland trip to experience the true essence of life in Ireland.
Game of Thrones isn't the only reason this castle is famous, though. Another fun Ireland fact is the castle was also chosen to feature in the centerfold of "Houses of the Holy," Led Zeppelin's 1973 album.
Although it's a small attraction, visitors can explore each of the castle rooms (including information boards) and take magnificent pictures of the views and the palace itself.
Location: 87 Dunluce Rd, Bushmills
Yet another natural attraction and one of the popular Game of Thrones Ireland filming locations is Pollnagollum Cave (the name is Irish for "hole of the doves"). This marble arch cave is in Bellmore Forest and is Ireland's longest cave.
Pollnagollum was used as the 'Brothers without Banners' hideout spot in Hollow Hill. Viewers may recognize it from scenes where Arya was taken, along with Gendry and Hot Pie, after 'The Hound' (aka Sandor Clegane) reveals her true identity.
To see the cave, a walk through Bellmore Forest is needed, and this is a great activity for anyone who enjoys forests, waterfalls, and caves. The actual cave has a beautiful waterfall and viewing deck, and a picnic is a fabulous way to enjoy this spot.
Location: Enniskillen
Before Game of Thrones appeared on the scene, this 18th-century National Trust property had already been used as a filming location for a few small shows and movies. However, this went to a whole new level when they chose this for one of the Game of Thrones filming locations in Ireland.
Castle Ward was used as Winterfell in Game of Thrones season one. So it is perhaps one of the most easily recognized Ireland Game of Thrones filming locations that are shown on tours. Apparently, it took eight weeks to set the location up for filming, and that was before any of the scenes were even shot.
It is also, without a doubt, the most beautiful. Located in County Down, Northern Ireland, you can find Castle Ward on the Strangford Lough shoreline. You can visit the castle and enter for a small charge, and live out your own GOT fantasies.
Location: Strangford, Downpatrick
Downhill Beach was transformed into Dragonstone for the popular TV show that the world loves so much.
In season two, Episode 7, there is a scene where Lady Melisandre burns the statues of the Seven Gods of Westeros. This scene was filmed on Downhill Beach in County Londonderry, and the beach is surrounded by green cliffs on one side and the Causeway Coast ocean on the other.
Overlooking the beach is the Mussenden Temple, which was also used in the TV show as part of the Dragonstone exterior. This spot wasn't seen in the films, but the crew did use the magnificent views as it presented the ideal angle for filming.
A visit here offers the chance to enjoy this Blue Flag Beach, stroll down this gorgeous coastline, and even partake in a few watersports if you're feeling adventurous.
Location: Sea Coast Rd, Coleraine
Tollymore Forest Park was an obvious choice for Game of Thrones filming in Ireland with an entry right out of a medieval fairytale and long trails through a thick forest. There are ancient-looking bridges, rivers and creeks, and plenty of natural beauty throughout the park.
The show used the park for a number of sets in season one. Fans will definitely recognize parts as Wolfswood outside Winterfell, but this location was also used as the haunted forest (you may also love reading about all the haunted places in Ireland).
The park is extensive, and there are kids' playgrounds and fantastic picnic spots too. It's a great place to bring the family and spend the day exploring things to do in Ireland with kids. But it's also one of the best Game of Thrones Ireland locations to take a guided tour where you can dress up as if you're in the show and experience all of the filming spots.
Location: Bryansford Rd, Newcastle
Game of Thrones Ireland castle locations are perhaps the most impressive, but sadly, many castles aren't open to the public. This includes Shane's Castle since this is actually a working farm owned and run by the O'Neill family.
However, the castle estate does open to the public several times a year, for special festivals and events. The actual castle burned down in a fire in 1816, but the ruins still remain on the grounds, along with the railway and Camellia House.
The castle has a large network of underground tunnels, which proved incredibly useful as one of the many Game of Thrones shooting locations in Ireland. The grounds are also where the jousting tournament was filmed.
Location: Antrim
In Game of Thrones, the Iron Islands seems quite harsh and unforgiving. However, the home of the Greyjoys is actually the Ballintoy Harbour in Northern Ireland. While it may look just as dramatic as the islands, the destination is much cheerier, especially when the sun is out.
Ballintoy Harbor was used for multiple scenes in Game of Thrones, including Theon Greyjoy's baptism and his first meeting with his sister Yara. It's also the place where Euron drowns and is rebirthed. Mostly, it was used as Pyke's exterior and main port, Lordsport.
The small fishing harbor is found in the charming village of Ballintoy and is often admired by visitors for its picturesque scenes and quaint village surroundings. This harbor provides access to mesmerizing beach walks.
Another nearby attraction is the famous Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, which should be visited at least once while in Ireland.
Location: Ballintoy Village
In season two, Cushendun Caves was seen as a location where Lady Melisandre gave birth to a shadowy creature. This was a powerful scene and an important part of the story. So of course, it needed to be filmed in an equally powerful location.
These caves are 400 million years old, and they are a stunning part of the Northern Irish coastline. The scenes here are dramatic, and walking through the caves is an experience you won't soon forget.
Even if you're traveling with a group of friends who have never seen an episode of Game of Thrones, a visit to these Game of Thrones filming locations in Ireland is sure to be a hit.
Note – These caves are next to a hotel, so the parking right next to the caves is reserved for those guests. You'll need to park a few minutes away and walk here.
Location: Cushendun, County Antrim
This hidden gem of a bay is another location where Game of Thrones filmed parts of the Iron Islands — specifically, Slaver's Bay. Scenes shot here were ones of Theon meeting up with Yara on horseback as he headed home to Pyke.
Viewers also got a glimpse of Murlough Bay in season two, episode 9, while Davos Seaworth was being shipwrecked following the Battle of the Blackwater. And then again in season five, episode 6, when slavers capture Jorah Mormont and Tyrion Lannister.
The bay is in a quiet and undisturbed cove, and it's a lovely place to enjoy views over Rathlin Island and the Scottish Islands, go swimming or windsurfing, or simply admire the surrounding mountains and cliffs.
Location: County Antrim
Northern Ireland Game of Thrones locations provide some of the most dramatic scenery in the show — producers really did know what they were doing when they chose them. Fair Head is known to be Northern Ireland's tallest cliff face, so it makes sense that the scenes here would be exquisite.
This cliff face enjoyed its TV debut in season seven, episode 3. The iconic scene was Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen (with her dragon) finally meeting for the first time, and the spot seemed to be a perfect choice.
This filming brought the cliffs much more attention and tourism, which is good because the views and mythology here are enough to warrant a visit from locals and tourists alike.
A few of the Game of Thrones Northern Ireland locations don't actually look anything like they do in the show. Special effects and editing mean that anything can be changed, and a lot of that has been done with scenes shot at Larrybane Quarry.
So you may not see the exact GOT scenery that other locations offer, but Larrybane did serve as quite an important film set for the show. This was where producers set up the fictional Renly Baratheon's Camp and plenty of fans visit for this reason alone.
The quarry offers its own attractions outside of the show's significance, though. There is a tremendous atmosphere here, with breathtaking views as well. Plus, it's an overspill car park for the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge and incredibly close to Giant's Causeway. So it's easy to plan a Northern Ireland road trip and add this stop to your itinerary.
Location: Ballycastle
This is well-known as one of the best beaches in Northern Ireland, and it proved to be a striking location for Game of Thrones filming.
The beach was used as the Dornish coast in season five. Those tuned in would have seen Jamie Lannister and Ser Bronn come ashore here just before they came across an attack by Dornish soldiers. It's also where we see Ellaria and the Sand Snakes secretly plotting their war against the Lannisters.
The beach is famous, not just for its link to the show but also for the stunning sand dunes and beautiful shoreline. It can get busy, so if you're visiting, try and plan it early, or you may have to park away from the beach and enjoy a bit of a walk.
Location: Portstewart, County Londonderry

Pohailani Maui is my favorite entry level vacation rental complex in all of West Maui. Firstly, the location is awesome right across the street from Kahana Bay and the beautiful waters of upper West Maui and right behind Maui Brewing Company, yay!!! It is in walking distance to some great food- Miso Phat sushi and a great sports bar, Dollies (deep dish pizza is delicious).
There is an oceanfront section of Pohailani and one across the street on a much larger land area. The oceanfront section consists of studio and one bedroom units and the condos on the garden side are one bedroom and two bedroom units. The ocean views are spectacular looking directly at Molokai island, almost year round sunsets, and very often you will see turtles come up to the seawall that fronts the complex. There is a small grassy lawn area here as well as several spots to grill.
The garden view units at Pohailani are as cozy as they come. The grounds are lush with huge mango trees, plumeria flowers, and lush lawns. There is one beautiful and large swimming pool and another one that is much smaller and just nice for lounging.
All Pohailani condos are zoned for short term vacation rentals and are a very attractive option for those looking to stay at a great location with a modest budget.
Where is the Pohailani Maui Located?

You might think that the whole hippie movement has faded away, but the truth is, there are plenty of hippies out there in Arkansas.
While they aren't necessarily in your face all the time with war protests and the next Woodstock isn't being planned any time soon, we thought it would be fun to look at which cities in the Natural State where the most hippies would live.
And, after crunching the data, you know what? It was pretty spot on, we have to say.
How do you decide where the most hippies live? By the number of yoga studios, organic markets, and most importantly, where the liberals live in droves.
Using that criteria, it's not hard to scrape the internet, run some scientific data on where hippies might live in Arkansas, and then put out a list.
So, put on your tie dye shirt and your sandals as you go through this list with us.
After analyzing all cities with a decent amount of people in them, we came up with this list of the 10 best cities for hippies in Arkansas:

How do you determine the most beatnik city in Arkansas?
In order to rank the best cities for hippies in Arkansas, we had to determine what criteria defines a hippie.
We threw a lot of criteria at this one in order to get the best, most complete results possible. Using the Google Places API, the Census's 2010-2014 American Community Survey, and Voter Registration data, this is the criteria we used:
Number of yoga studios per capita
Number of organic markets per capita
Number of pet adoption centers per capita
Number of vegan restaurants per capita
Number of thrift stores per capita
Each city's liberal voting population
These Are The 10 Worst Places To Live In Arkansas
Note: For the sake of getting reliable numbers, we counted places within a ~4.5 mile radius of a city's center. The average city in America is about 18 square miles.
All of these results are listed in a per capita basis, meaning number of stores per person in a city. Additionally, we limited the analysis to non-CDPs that have over 5,000 people.
We ranked each place with scores from 1 to 60 in each category, where 1 was the most hippie.
Next, we averaged the rankings for each place to create a hippie index.
And finally, we crowned the city with the highest hippie index the "Best City for Hippies In Arkansas." We're lookin' at you, Lowell.

Photoshop and photography were made for each other. Whether you're using a digital pixel-grabber or hanging onto your beloved film camera, Adobe's revamped flagship image editor, Photoshop CS2, has the tools you need to fine-tune your photos, correct errors in exposure, lighting, or color balance, and go beyond your basic picture to create triumphant prize-winning photographs from shoebox rejects.
Adobe Photoshop CS2: Photographers' Guide is aimed squarely at those who want to use photography creatively to produce compelling images, and want to master all the tools available to them. The emphasis here is on both traditional and leading-edge photographic techniques, and how to reproduce or enhance them in Photoshop.
You don't need to be an ace photographer or Photoshop expert to create these eyecatching effects. All you need is this straight-forward, "all meat" book that shows you how to use Photoshop to enhance your images with the kinds of effects you admire. Did you know that using easy-to-master Photoshop tools you could do the following?
• Duplicate colorful "cross processing" darkroom effects.
• Work with Photoshop's Panorama stitching features.
• Match colors between shots taken under wildly different lighting conditions.
• Fix perspective in architectural photos even if you don't own an expensive perspective control lens.
• Add zoom lens blur effects without using a zoom lens.
• Move a storm-ravaged seashore 500 miles inland to the foothills of a mountain range.
• Excise your obnoxious ex-relative from a family reunion photo without resorting to violence.
• Change daylight scenes into moody dusk or ruddy dawn pictures.
• Make mountains out of foothills.
• Morph images to blend or distort them.
• Seamlessly extract images from their backgrounds.
This book cuts right to the heart of all of the most misunderstood, but easily applied, tools in the latest version of Photoshop, examined from a photographer's perspective. It bristles with surprisingly effective examples, simple-to-follow techniques, and tricks that serve as a jumping-off point to spark your own creativity into action.
While other Photoshop "photography" books give lip service to true photography, this book examines each topic from every photographic angle. Which effects are best achieved with a film or digital camera? Which effects are best applied in Photoshop? How can in-camera techniques and Photoshop augment and enhance each other?
• Process your digital camera's RAW files with Photoshop CS2's improved Camera RAW plug-in.
• Fix colors and tones, even if you don't know color correction or gamma correction from brightness-contrast controls, and think a histogram is a cold remedy. Photoshop has at least four different ways to bring off-color or dull originals to blazing life, ready for use in web pages and other applications.
This document is created with trial version of^l^O^Not^^M.nony to create that photo you never could catch with your camera.
• Duplicate darkroom effects not easily accessible to darkroom-challenged digital photographers.


On January 24, 2019 the sun set for dear Glenda J. Haygood, who went home to be with her Savior.
The daughter of Robert and Josie Mae Marshall, both late, she was born and spent her youth in Selma, Alabama. For 34 years she has resided in the Laurel/Savage area and most recently Glen Burnie.
Glenda is a veteran of the United States Army, where she met her dear late husband Cedric W. Haywood, Sr., so many years ago on a double date. They would be married for a quarter century before Cedrics' passing. Glenda continued on for many years as his devoted widow.
For many years Glenda practiced as a Registered Nurse for various medical practices and even the Veterans Administration. She retired after 35 years of service. When not engaged in her vocation, she enjoyed spending free time shopping, crafting and watching horror movies. She also enjoyed cookouts with family and friends present. It was said that she loved the holidays and cooking a feast for all to enjoy. This was part of her loving personality. She was a very hospitable person. She loved everyone and never held a grudge. "She wanted to save the world", one commented; "If you needed a place to stay, you had a place to stay," and "She would give you the shirt off her back," said another.
Most importantly Glenda is remembered for "loving her babies," and being a dedicated Christian woman.
Surviving her are her loving daughters Taquita K. and Lanisa C. Haygood and fiance' Jason Brown. Glenda leaves her dear sons, Sean M. and Cedric W. Jr., and his spouse Crystal Lynn (nee Knight.) She will be dearly missed by her grandchildren Jaylyn and Nathaniel Haygood as well as her loving siblings, Gloria Mobley and Bob Marshall and the late Lucille, Monica, Tim and Henry.
