up to this point

I've been writing off and on for a few years, first on myspace, then on Facebook.  I've copied all the entries from both and published them here.  They are in chronological order with the date in the title, even though they look like they were all published today!  I will blog on here in the future and link it to Facebook since I have a number of friends who are not on FB.   I hope you are blessed and encouraged in some way by these writings and that Jesus is always glorified, in my joy and in my struggles.  Please comment profusely, share your thoughts and ideas, I love to hear them.  As I went back and reread all these, I was particularly blessed by all the comments that I received.  I have such a wonderful community of people who love me and are for me.  What a gift.  As soon as we get a working camera I will post some recent pictures of our ducks and our adventures.
