About Me

My photo
I grew up in Southern Mississippi, and at eleven years of age I invited Jesus Christ into my life. Several years later, I married a young man from Oklahoma and we eventually moved to his home state. There we welcomed our first child, a beautiful baby boy. Four and a half years later, our daughter was born and unfortunately tragedy struck. Our daughter suffered brain damage during open heart surgery. In the years that followed, I was her care-giver. I've been stretched and remolded as I've journeyed through many trials. I was widowed in 2003 and as my husband was dying, he said for him one of the most difficult things was knowing that I would probably bury our daughter without him. I told him should that occur, when she died I would picture in my heart him seeing her walk and talk for the first time and that would bring me strength and joy. I can truly say that it did. His death started me on this journey as "a single wife." The first eight years of blogging are as a grieving, healing widow. Now the posts are as a newly remarried who has found life after widowhood.

Change

     I've seen a lot of changes in my fifty-five plus years....as have you...some of it has been fantastic but much of it not has been bad.  The fact that I can publish my thoughts into cyber space for anyone to read is unbelievable and I confess that computers are much better than typewriters. E-mail is quite nice too and certainly faster and cheaper than snail mail.
     Yes, lots of things have changed but just as I look at my reflection in a 5X magnifying mirror so I can see what I really look like, I need to follow God word to live the abundant life.  Sadly our nation has gotten away from many of God's principles and has started down a path that will lead to disaster.  When I grew up, my grade school teachers started the day by having each child recite a scripture..this was public school...not private. Back then, what God said was wrong was considered wrong by the majority of people. Today things are changing rapidly and our country is resorting to doing that which is right in man's eyes.
   Our founding father's were not agnostic as some say.  The majority based their lives and the constitution they signed on God's Word.  If you want to check them out, you can.
