~~IN CASE YOU'RE INTERESTED~~
I believe in eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ's atoning sacrifice on the cross in Jerusalem. I am a baptized believer and have been a Southern Baptist since 1976. My life verses are Proverbs 3:5-6 and Galatians 2:20. I keep adding more and more verses to my heart and mind so these are just a sampling of those the Holy Spirit brings to mind when I need Him most.

~~Am humbled by my husband’s love.
~~Challenged by my daughter’s strength, determination and wisdom.
~~Blessed by 7 precious grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
~~Inspired by kindness of strangers.
~~Awed by God’s creation.
~~Amused by folks who take life too seriously.
~~Annoyed by folks who smoke…I’m allergic.
~~Am a bit eccentric.
~~Love to laugh.
~~Will always respond to emails.
~~Believe my calling in life is to encourage others.

FAVORITE SAYINGS: C`est la vie. Que Sera Sera. It is what it is. This too shall pass. To be broken is not fun, but necessary to grow. Today is all you have. Life is too short to wallow in self-pity for more than an hour. But sometimes ya just can't help yourself. :)
