Daily Journal Entry

This is a whole new world for me, writing a book and writing a webblog. I am still in the processes of refining my book about prayer and journaling. Please feel free to respond to my surveys to help me identify the needs I should address in my book. Hopefully, identifying your needs will help me produce a book that will help you pray and journal more freely.

I am not writing in my book today. My son and I are attending the funeral of his 5th grade teacher who passed from cancer. She was a lovely woman who had a passion for teaching. She taught my son how to write well and express himself on paper. That is a gift of a lifetime. We are going to show our appreciation of her and support the family, a husband and two college age sons surviving. Let us all make the most of our days and love deeply, forgive more quickly and embrace with acceptance what God brings into our lives each day whether suffering or joy, they are gifts that He uses to draw us closer to His heart.
