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.

Testimony Day at Upward

Great is Thy faithfulness, Oh God my Father~ Today I gave my testimony at the half of an Upward Basketball game. My brother-in-law, John, one of the church's deacons, had asked me, and I said yes as I had done the past few years. I had the whole thing all written out. Never do I like being unprepared. I also have to play offertory tomorrow, so arriving early, I decided I would practice my song while waiting to testify. Thanks to Brittany Powell, who came and said , "Fran, you're on!", I made it running into the gym, with my water bottle, my Bible, and my notes. No time to take a drink. Dry as a bone with nerves. Started to talk, mentioned my mother, and sorta winged it from there, as it got me off track, thinking about my mother and how much I missed her. But, I made it, and went right back to the organ to finish practicing. The song is awful, I'm not sure I'll even use it, because I don't play it very well, not at all!! It's an old hymn of the faith, "I would be True". We used to sing it alot when I was a kid. It's is not in our hymnal, so it's been a long time. It isn't a difficult piece, I just am struggling. So.......please pray for me tomorrow around 1015 as I will be trying to give praise to our LORD ini song. Blessings, Fran
