Now, that one of my girls is married and fled the nest; and the other will soon be off to college, I have decided to write a blog that would be encouraging or thought-provoking for others. Personally, I do not see myself as anything special and the Lord knows, I need encouragement each day myself. Let me add, I\u2019m glad we are all special in the Lord\u2019s eye. You will not find all the answers here nor will you find a writer who pretends to know it all. I pray the thoughts laid upon my heart by the Lord will encourage us, lift us up in times of distress, make us think or smile, or simply remind us that God loves us and cares for us. Know this, that through it all, the Lord will keep encouraging me as well. Phil. 3:13-14 <em>\u201cBrethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been greatly burdened for quite some time to write; but, I have not taken the time to do so.
