    • Interests

      Like meeting other christians on line to share needs and prayers. Especially those who are suffering from the same things I am. Love to share what God has done in my life!! My recent interests have dwindled some due to the pain from the Fibromyalgia, , I don't sew or garden anymore.. trying to find a new outlet.. Will put a few plants out in front of house, , but that is about all I can handle. I like going on computer researching. Love watching my grandkids grow using the web cam.. best invention ever..!!

      From Gundy November 14, 2008

      Good Morning, I'm glad you were able to get through the surgery. Of course, it will take time to heal. It 's always hard to cope with additional pain in addition to fibromyalgia. Dear Lord, Come close to luvkindu today and let her feel your arms around her. Please heal her completely. I pray that she will have special times with You during her recovery. Thank you for luvkindu. She is a wonderful person. In Jesus Name, Linda
