Why God Made Little Boys
God made the world out of His dreams
Of magic mountains, oceans and streams
Prairies, plains and wooded lands,
Then paused and thought, "I need someone to stand
On top of mountains, to conquer the seas,
Explore the plains and climb the trees.
Someone to start out small and grow,
Sturdy...strong as a tree".....and so,
He created boys, full of spirit and fun,
To explore and conquer, to romp and run.
With dirty faces and banged up chins,
With courageous hearts and boyish grins.
When He had created the task he had begun
He surely said..."A job well done!"
Thoughts
If you feel "dog tired" at night,
It may be because you
growled all day!
The wind of anger blows out the
lamp of intelligence!
Without kindness,
There is no joy!
Never leave your tongue in gear
while your brain is idling
What can you do in 5 minutes?
With the hustle and bustle of today's
world you may not think you can
do too much. But, for just 5 minutes
everyday you can, put a smile
on someone's face, say a kind word
or two, give a little encouragement,
give a little praise or just make
someone feel special. This is
the main concept of
Random Acts of Kindness.
It is so easy to do, and
it makes you feel good
as well.
My Mom
This is a picture of my Mother on my brother's
motorcycle. She would have never tried
driving the thing, but she was brave enough to
ride behind him, holding on for dear life, while
he drove...when she was in her early 70's!
Bless her heart, she was a sweet lady. She
went Home to live with the Lord in September
of 2003, and there's never a day goes by that
I don't think of her. I love you Mama!!
Because He Lives
God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives.
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
And then one day I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain.
And then as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone!
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives!

God's Masterpiece
From graceful lilies pure and white,
God fashioned lovely skin,
Forgetmenots he chose for eyes,
Then formed your baby chin.
He took a tulip bright and red --
'Twas one that did not fade;
A softer, sweeter little mouth
Before was never made.
Another flower next He used --
A rosebud, pink and fair;
Touched it to your dimpled cheeks
And bade it blossom there.
Then with His magic fingers picked
Two morning glories white;
Curled and shaped your little ears,
Soon they were fastened tight.
That crowning bit of golden down
Will soon become your hair;
He gathered pollen from the flowers,
And sprinkled it with care.
For dainty little fingers dear
And precious, tiny toes,
He used slender daisy frills;
A snowdrop made your nose.
This world and all within it
He created here for man;
But Baby was "God's Masterpiece"
Since time and life began!
(Poem by Dora Dinsmore)
My Online Friends
And ideas we exchange
I would not know you on the street
And doesn't that seem strange?
You hold a place within my life
Unusual and unique
We share ideals and special dreams
And still we do not speak
I picture what I think you are
Perhaps you picture me?
An intriguing game for both of us
For someone we cannot see.
So for this friendship we possess
We owe cyber space a debt
Perhaps the charm lies in the fact
That we have never met.
~unknown~
They are very special people!!
A little about me
Updated 
Sept. 2007
I have been married to a career Navy man (now retired) for the past 39 years, and we have 2 grown, married daughters. No
grandchildren yet, but we have not given up hope. During our Navy days we lived all over...North Carolina, Washington, D.C., Virginia, Florida, Connecticut,
Tennessee and South Carolina, in the U.S., and Wales in the U.K. We have lived here, longer than we have lived anywhere else since we got married, and will
probably remain here until God takes us home.
Hobbies
I am the kind of person who likes to try my hand at almost any craft I see, and I tend to enjoy most of them. I will admit that I
used to do a lot more crafting when our children were growing up, than I do now. These days, I lean more toward crocheting, making greeting cards, crossword
puzzles and playing on the computer, in my spare time. However, I reserve the right to buy more crafting materials at any given time! 
I collect penguins, ducks, teapots and angels.

for the conflict will not be short.
You will be asked for
RESOLVE,
for the conflict will not be easy.
You will be asked for your STRENGTH,
because the course to Victory
may well be long''
