This post is by request: Georgia Jan, I love you. Thank you for agreeing this is not my normal poetry. *This* is what happens after three amazing days in Houston for a Siesta gathering coupled with three nights of sleep eluding me and a flight delay (that I would not have missed for anything!) to get back to the country life... Have you heard the saying: "You can take a girl out of the country, but you can't the country out of a girl?"My country roots were showing the moment I stepped ... Read More about Purse on a Chain
Siesta Scripture Memory Team
I found the neatest little bird spiral at Pier I to organize all of my Scripture memory cards for the Siesta Scripture Memory Team Celebration that will be held this weekend.

Overflow
My heart is on overflow to the LORD who showed up in a BIG way yesterday for Audra Elizabeth's surgery to remove the loose cartilage from her knee. The Dr. had NO explanation for the over a dozen pieces he removed. NO EXPLANATION. He could not find a donor site where the cartilage had come from. He even had his assistant look. He said her knee looked PERFECT - and he showed me 2 pages of colored pictures that proved his point and which also just confirmed the spiritual attack aspect we have ... Read More about Overflow
