I’ve been so busy with gardening, doctors and physical therapy visits, and more recently, storm damage clean up, that I haven’t been blogging my thanks here everyday. But I have been writing a list. A week or so ago my husband met someone who sells specialty honey made by bees which visit a peach orchard.… Read More Day 208- Thankful that my Honey shared his honey

French author 1903-1977 ** So, instead of republishing… Read More A Smile Costs Nothing

But first I’d like to clarify the difference between certain vocabulary of Scripture and the vocabulary that we commonly hear: In the common… Read More Change the World, Part 2
The other day we were in the car listening to the Voices of Lee singing their challenge. What if our only job in this life was to change this world for the better? Wait!
