Well, the season is upon us that is to be filled with love, sharing, family caring, Christian love and blessing.  This sounds so good on print and it is the way it is suppose to be.  There are sometimes when the devil tries in his sultry ways to destroy all that is good, all that is love, and all that is family.  There has been that time in my life for the almost two years when I wondered how could this happen.  How could love take such a downturn, destroying everything in it's path and leaving nothing but hurt and heartache.  But then I have to ask myself and know that true love doesn't go away.  It may lay dormant for a time, but the devil doesn't win.  He will never has and he never will.  Because  the love of our Lord will always surpass any amount of garbage he tries to dump on our lives.  The devil will get by with nothing as long as we hold to God's promises and stay true to the bond we have with our Lord.  With the wonderful Christian friends that I have, members of a caring family, and a wonderful church (Church Alive) family, there is so much that upholds me and gives me strength to keep going on and to have the faith that all is OK.

 The devil will take only as much as we allow him to take from our lives.  I will not give him one ounce of my time or treasures in my life.  They do not belong to the devil they belong to Jesus Christ.  I love my family, they are the core of my being.  Always have been and always will be.  Thank you all who have stood so close to me during this time I cherish you more than you could ever know.  Without your love and caring and your total support, I don't know that I could have made it through all this.  I love you.
