Thank GOD for Memories




Do what GOD called us to do. Sounds so easy... I remember having nothing better  to do but sit outside with granddad. So boring, I thought. At times having nothing more to do and certainly nothing more was expected of me. I need a job, I would think. Surely my job would be me doing what Mary Tyler Moore did on TV. At some point I'd toss my hat in the air. Day dreams to say the least. So boring, I thought.

Funny how life changes. I cannot count the number of times, this past year (alone) that I've wished I could go back and do that very thing...Sit with granddad in the yard, looking at and listening to the wind move through the leaves and branches of the trees, in Gould, Arkansas. Great path to be on and a bad path to get off.

Thank GOD for the memories because GOD's grace allowed those memories to bring such peace, in the midst of a storm, in my life.

What's Good About 87?

In this particular case it's the year that still stands supreme in my life. Supreme only because of the Little Rock Central class of 1987.

Lastly the girl group, Sisters Who Care. Talent shows, slops on top, games, dances, and house parties. The senior skip room, Valentine carnations, car washes, 3 way phone calls, feathers, shags, oh and lets not leave out the jerry curls. So much more... Oh yes, shout out to Q-T's and the Campus Inn.  Mainly I love all the friendships that were created by mostly three junior high schools that included some fantastic personalities. The special thing about us was/is that these three junior high groups knew each other so well. By the time we all got to Little Rock Central High for the most part we became a great melting pot. I never thought a

Merry Christmas Beautiful Beauty

Christmas is a time for family to come together. No matter if the gifts are shiny or new, expensive or frugal, it's time to enjoy hearing the voices of our loved ones, (all) under the same roof. It's a time for good food and family slumber parties. It's a time to make fun memories that will make us smile when we reminisce. It's a time to remember the reason why we celebrate. We have all been offered eternal life because of Jesus. Merry Christmas Beautiful Beauty! https://www.pinterest.com/trussell2000biggmailcom/pins/
