I have been blessed enough to have traveled to Europe six times…so far. Most of my adventures have been with students and teachers on educational tours. I have seen many countries, great works of art, magnificent ruins, Gothic cathedrals, resting places of history’s mighty figures, battlefields where the future of the world was decided, and the beauty of the Mediterranean Sea, to name a few.

My husband and I just celebrated our 31st wedding anniversary. I am so proud of that! In our world today, I think it’s a huge accomplishment.

In Jesus Precious Name,
Amen

I can’t wait until I’ve finally reached this level of Nirvana, that does not exist, to serve God. I have to serve Him now. Continue reading Just Do It!
