Thank you, Rubi. We should continue prayers for those in Texas and other parts affected by Hurricane Ike.

Thanks for stopping by. The pictures in the header here are illustrations that appear in my books by my daughter, Chaldea!

Come back again for a visit! Bring a cup of tea or coffee and stay a while. Pass the word too. :)

God bless!
