 “A wife, mother, and grandmother that loves every aspect of my life.  The good, not so good, misplaced, confused, enlightened, disparaging, enraptured, incorrigible… every aspect… all rolled into a rubber band ball!”

 

 Praise God for being GOD, for sending his Son to live and die for a crazy person like me, and for making me… Me! My family is superb, and I adore each member, from the one new to the ninety-six-year-old, and those who have passed over to the other side.  I pray for my enemies, that they forgive me if it was I who was unjust and created our conflict. I pray that the adversary is always kept outside of my personal sphere, and my loved ones.”
