The Race Before Us

Longing to run, but afraid to fail, that’s the story of my life.  I’ve let this blog sit idle for so many months, it’s hard to imagine that for years I regularly wrote blog entries. But I love to write. I write nearly every day—just not here. Mu husband’s asked me to write… just write. […]...

The Hand of The Lord

Many times I have stated or thought in times of trial: The arm or the hand of the Lord is not shortened that it cannot save – nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.

In the late 70,s/early 80’s my husband and I were involved in a couple of multi level marketing companies/programs.
