    Why a Blog?

    I debated about writing a Blog for some time.  I am not anyone special, who has something new to say.  However, I remembered the numerous times I was encouraged by the stories and testimonies of others.  My desire is to also encourage or strengthen others by how the Lord has brought me through difficult times.  I pray He strengthens you!
