Greetings!

Please, please forgive me in my delay of correspondence! Whew! I recently moved and things did not go as smoothly as planned! (Do they ever?) So, here I was, without any phone or internet service for some time. And, then, my cell phone gets lost in the transition!!!! But, you know what? I made it!

Whatever you are faced with today; please be encouraged. Please know that you can make it through. Hold on, and do not give up! It may be hard; but believe me—someone is praying just for you.

Well, it's back to work for me :) I have much to catch up on! Can't wait to share with you some awesome things this new season. So, please stay tuned. And thank you once again for all of your support. You are GREATLY appreciated.

Blessings to you and yours.

Faith and Prayer—Does It Work?
Whether you believe or not, there is something to be said about a person who has faith and a strong prayer life. Even scientists are noting the affects of having a positive attitude, and some level of faith and the belief in prayer. Have you tried it? Does it work for you?
