Wow! It’s Day 18
Joseph, like Mary, had a unique role in Christ’s birth story. He knew he wasn’t the father of Mary’s child, but he listened and believed the Angel in his dream.

Day #16
The forerunner of Christ is how I have always heard him described as being. Today Ms. Hunt also characterizes him as a herald.

May God’s Angels Be Watching Over You
Angels are a wonder to us from what little we know about them from scripture. The angel Gabriel who spoke to Mary. Christmas is one time we really talk about angels, even if it is more on a commercial basis. To the world they are seen as Fairy’s or Leprechauns as magical beings which is…

Managing Time
When I woke up still not having internet service; we still tried to keep our routine. First thing in the morning we try to walk. The highway we take to the usual walking venue has supposedly been getting an update this week. Meaning we changed from one cemetery to another. Due to this upgrading certain…

Memorializing With Color
Family is precious and our memories will follow us wherever we go. My Grandpa Freddy spent time with his children and grandchildren teaching us about our family. Memorial Day was a special time for our family. Dinner would be eaten some of us would play, others talk and the rest would clean up the kitchen.…
