Looks like spring!!! 1 Peter 1:3 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."  Easter was a beautiful day despite all the storms the night before with tornados and hail and strong winds.  This time our area was to the east and missed most of the harsh weather by only 4-5 miles to our west. Thankful for sure. The sun broke out by about eleven and the day was beautiful. We had steady rain through the night and I know all my plants and trees are ...

It comes up every year closer to August when my dear friend Queen Esther starred in NY in a musical. She has been on broadway many times and this was on the re-opening of the Apollo Theater back about 22 years ago. She is a forever friend, a mentor and a classy woman with a huge voice! 1 Thessalonians 4:14 " For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep." This is the week that brings me to my knees and my heart to mourn and then to sing.
