Book Description

I am a Bible believing woman. I try to keep my Faith strong and my prayer life active. I believe in the Trinity and that there is a Heaven and a Hell and Hell is not on earth. I also try to forgive those that have hurt me, my family, or my friends. I try to forgive those that I believe are not keeping our Country’s best interests in mind when they make decisions and change the Constitution to suit the whims and wishes of selfish persons. I also pray for those and myself and if it is me that needs to see things differently, then allow a scripture or two or three to show me the error of my way of believing or thinking.
I have 3 adult children. 2 boys and a girl. My husband and were married on 1 June 1975 and he died unexpectedly on 11 May 2005. My oldest son will be 36 in October, my daughter will be 33 in October, and the youngest boy turned 26 in January and he has Down Syndrome. He (J) and I built a house in 2008 and moved from a 3 bedroom house trailer, to a 4 bedroom home. We live in the house that God built.
