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.

There is nothing like a friend

This is the day that the Lord hath made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. I heard from an old friend(she's not old, just known her a long time). She was such an encouragement to me, I really appreciated it. This blogging thing is really new to me and I don't always know how to do stuff. For instance, I can't seem to respond to postings on my own blog. What's up with that???? It is difficult to teach an old dog, you know. Mike and I have been reading about our tongue, and how sweet (or vicious) it can be. The Bible says we must control our tongue, but it is hard. You know, if you can't say something good, don't say anything at all. Wish I could really learn that and practice if daily. That is what friends do for you; they can remind you in a subtle way to comment or not on any given subject. I love my Bible; it gives me an unusual strength in weakness, knowing God is in control, and I'm NOT........Have a wonderful day. F>

Your blog looks great! I try to keep up with everyone from Calvary via blogger and it is nice to hear from you. I think of you often and your sweet, generous spirit.

Thank your for sharing what you've been learning on the tongue. I seem to always need to work in that area!

Have a wonderful week,
