Just wanted to share the final news story on Alex this week. A statement written in the program for her funeral is at the end of the story. Any prayers offered contributed to this sense of peace that they display here. Reminding us that a moment does not define a lifetime. Thank you for all who have answered the call to pray, please continue to hold them there.http://www.wktv.com/news/local/Community-says-goodbye-to-Alexandra-172687211.html

We all know people in our lives that we look at and wonder how they can remain so graceful. My grandmother was one of those people, a farmers wife and daughter, hard working, lived through WWI and WWII, Vietnam, and other conflicts, the Great Depression, raising kids before antibiotics, living in the oftentimes unforgivable terrain…

“Make known to me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my savior.” Psalm 25:4-5This was the psalm in our response at church today, and it got me thinking, what better way to get to where we want to be as a people…
I am always getting compliments about my kids. They are good kids, I can see why people like them. They are thoughtful, respectful but still playful in the kid way. They are always willing to help and try their very best to be kind. Kindness is a big thing in my world. When I receive…
Two years have passed since I wrote this post and life has slowed down considerably. Though things are still hectic when balancing five different lives in one household. I have decided not to try to do everything at the same time. Consequently, life is calmer, because I am calmer. My house is cleaner because I…

That was a very powerful statement from the family. Thanks for sharing this and please know that prayers will continue.
I agree Lynda. What it said to me is that when they were faced with the unthinkable they were still able to see the goodness around them. I really do think that this is what prayer does. Thank you for responding to this all week, your words have meant a lot.
Oh my… my heart goes out to them.
I am not too far away from where you live, Annette.
Hey Fran! Good to see you here. Yes, I think I connected that a while ago because you are in my old stomping ground. Hopefully someday we will meet!
