I loved your comment, Haley! It is my greatest hope to help people find their way to God . . . and sometimes to find their “way back.” :-) Our love and devotion to God is the one thing that we will take with us at death. And, none of us know how long we will “be here.” The husband I married at 17 (and had 3 sons with) died yesterday. The power to death is so real to our family right now. So, I love staying on the path of having the joy of the Lord regardless of what takes place–and rejoicing each day of life knowing this is not our home! We are here to learn and love, yet we are intended to have our eternal HOME in Heaven. Free will is a great gift–and we all get to choose how we are going to live it . . . and what–and who– we are going to love.

Thank you, Bertha, for your astute reading and also for your comment. I see the children I have birthed and raised as being the wealth of my life.
Please keep reading and commenting.

Thank you for your astute comment for this website. During the last two days, people living in Canada, Pakistan, United Arab E. and many in the US read my Easter column. The largest number of readers for that piece live in the USA. This a.m. that Easter piece was also read in Australia. God has opened doors toward reaching more and more people globally. Just yesterday, it became possible to submit weekly to about 1,000 more newspapers than currently publish my work. This gift came through the generous help received from another columnist, Dr. James Snyder from Florida, whose column is titled “Out to Pastor.” His work is nationally (maybe internationally) syndicated for broadcasting. It is great gift that God has opened doors toward reaching more and more people globally. Some who come to my website like reading short comments like yours. Thank you for contributing, Dell!
