A Merry Christmas from Florida

He Showed Me!
Mountain air surrounds me as I venture out of my cocoon. We visited our property today. It enveloped me in the trees with the wind shifting through the branches. No words can describe the beauty of the Creator. Continue reading “He Showed Me!”
The Cabin in the Woods
What a week! I wasn’t sure I would make it through the battle. In the middle of last week, God gave me a scripture. His gift was Psalms 62:6-9: Continue reading “The Cabin in the Woods”
