Most people spend the greatest part of their time working in order to live, and what little freedom remains so fills them with fear that they seek out any and every means to be rid of it.”  Johann Wolfgang Goethe It has been a busy time the past week and I have not had time to post at all. Our dog, Annie, has been sick for four weeks. She finished up her championship just to come home

Alfred Tennyson The new year lies ahead... filled with opportunity.  What we forget is today lies ahead of us also filled with opportunity. We do not have to wait until tomorrow or this next Monday.  Today is the day that counts.  Do not put off till tomorrow what you can do today. God is there with you always.  In my reading in the Bible this year I found my key word or words for the new year.  I thought it was going to

I know there are others out there in much worse shape. I only have to listen to the news to arrive here.  Today’s world is a frightening place filled with scary things. At the same time the bible promises me that God is able to protect us and help us and often He has to use miracles to do it. I hang on to my faith this day; I know and acknowledge His assuran
