    "You won't find an agate every trip to the beach... but then one day you may find twenty! You may not, at times, have the heart to go on, but with God's grace your peace will be plenty." Faithfulness to God in the present allows Him to shape your heart for the future. from my beach journal

    Deb, I've been playing around on the Xanga site...just figured out when looking in my "spam" folder that all Xanga stuff had been routed there...so i just now saw your invite. I started a Weblog for Moms of Hope...titled just that...perhaps it is yet another way to minister via the web...we'll see.

    I thought of a verse to encourage you today. It is from 1 Corinthians 15:10But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect.
