| Introduction | These days I'm best summed up as "very grateful". I have much to give thanks for. I'm proud to live in the United States of America and I value the freedoms I often have taken for granted. The older I get the more convicted I am in my faith in God and am grateful for the very life He has given me. So much makes sense when you've lived long enough to actually see and understand many of the reasons why our creator has placed before us His particular order of things and his plan for us. I'm blessed to have parents who've always been a support and encouragement to me. I thank my God that I was born to these two faithful christians. I have a husband who has been dedicated to his profession providing our family with many comforts and awesome opportunities. Without my son and my daughter, I can't even imagine my life. My two grandchildren are treasures that words cannot sufficiently describe. And friends...I have an abundance of friends who I value and count as one of the great blessings of life. I believe God gave us the gift of friendship to help sustain us while we're here on earth. I know my friends have held me up so many, many times. |
