I'm sitting here deciding what to wear to work today. My bell bottom jeans and groovy love beads, or my polyester leisure suit. Now that's outdated! My husband and I enjoy watching older TV shows. A couple of examples are Wagon Train and Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp. We enjoy them because the characters … Continue reading Outdated

To ignore is to refuse to pay attention to; to disregard; to pass over or by without notice; to treat as if not known; and to leave out of account.

Alarmed, I resolved to inquire of the Lord, and I proclaimed a fast and to seek help from the … Continue reading Happily ever after
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who has had one of "those" days. I like to lay in bed and pray first before getting up, thanking God for another day that He has made and asking for His guidance.

You know those little coincidences that are actually the Hand of God?Well I had one of those the other day.
