I'd like to invite all my readers to consider spending time today to pray. For 70 years the first Thursday of May has been set aside as a day of prayer here in the U.S. I'm a big believer in prayer.

Christmas Devotional
Our Women's Ministry Team asked me to speak at their December Christmas gathering back in 2020. At first I was scared to death! I do not like speaking in front of a group of people, at all!
