Welcome to my blog!!

I have so enjoyed FB and blogging. I love reading others, friends, and younger people who are so good with words. It is my prayer that I be a servant to others. To lead them to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ is of chief importance to me. My work at the Cancer Center gave me many opportunities to do just that; the center was part of a Catholic institution that had ...."in the Spirit of Jesus Christ"..... in the Mission Statement. God gave me a boldness like never before. I also love journal keeping. I have several. The one I am currently using will run out before Dec. 31. I love it; it has a photo of the four grandchildren, Peyton, Paige, Reese, and Sully on it. Plus a Christmas greeting on the inside page. I keep sermon notes and daily stuff on those pages. Mike said, "Do you ever go back and read what you write?" Answer YES. Regularly.

About two older very proper ladies

Great is Thy faithfulness, Oh God my Father~First lady, my friends Jeanine and Karen's mother, Helen Fulton. I grew up with this familly. They had a dairy farm. Hard workers. Two sons, Richard and John. Helen's husband introduced my dad to my mother!! Thank you Hobart. Well, Helen had a stroke a few days ago. She is alert, for which we are all grateful. She would not like being unable to think. She is an artist. Loved to paint, work in her yard out in the country, didn't drive at night (I don't like to either). Just a lovely lady. Her family is all here and surrounding her with their love for her. Get well, Mrs. Helen. You are loved. Second, a very classy lady named Marjorie; I called her Marj. She died this morning after a long sickness. I only saw her a couple of times in the states, mostly I visited with her when we were on one of our many trips to Ontario. Her children Donnie, Janice, John, and Karen were all Canadian born. Her husband held a role in the Ontario government. A lot like our Cabinet in the states. I will miss you Marj. And how very kind you were to Mike and I when we would show up with Jack and Linda and visit. Rest in peace. And to Leo, may God Himself bless you.
