Each morning, I receive a precious devotional that is practically a note from God to me.  I’ve deleted my name and left a blank for you to put in your own name as you read it.  If you’re feeling down, depressed, overwhelmed–all of the above  I think you’ll find the words very helpful.  They helped […]

It is the changing of life that reminds us we are still living.  It is the changes that sometimes make me the most sad.  I am sad and happy in the same moment.  Sad for the changes I do not like and happy for the changes that will make others more at peace.  It is […]

I don’t remember the last time I was so glad to have an election come to an end.  Well, actually, I do.  It was at the end of the last election.  Point being that electionsare great things, but the Dem/Rep warring that seems to go on beforehand is just exhausting.  The whole Democrat or Republican […]
