Well, It's a beautiful day here in North Mississippi. I am so glad, and I am so glad that the Presidential debate in Oxford is still on for tonight.. I was in Oxford a few weeks ago for a meeting, and they were steadily getting everything ready. the campus was buzzing with excitement. Our meeting was a t the Chamber Of Commerce, and they said they were so ready.. So... it's a sigh of relief right now in Oxford.. Please pray for our candidates. This is one important night.. and pray for our nation too.. I'm sure you're ahead of me on that... Bunches of hugs!

Heaven is no Happenstance

Heaven is no happenstance,

As everybody knows.

Prayer leads to paradise;

Passion leads to blows.

Years and years of loving God,

Even when in pain,

And faith in Christ's great sacrifice

Simple hearts sustain.

Those who neither hope nor care

Exist in undisclosed despair,

Reasoning in vain.

Go Here for my Glazed Ham Recipe!
