Wow, what a ride coming home has been. I thank God everyday for the time I spent in the desert because it made me strong enough to deal with life …

About Me
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but less solutions; more medicine, but less wellness. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life; we’ve added years to life, not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We’ve conquered outer space, but not inner space; we’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we’ve split the atom, but not our prejudice. We have higher incomes, but lower morals; we’ve become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are the times of tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships. These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition. These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes. It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to forward this message and make a difference… or just ignore it. The message is this: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

Interests
I am a christian who is faithfully following Jesus. He has seen me through some very dark years and waited patiently for me to come humbled at his feet. I love to read anything and everything. I also love to do crafts and most importantly spend time with my daughter. "The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you." I want to be a Living Example of the Living Truth!!!!

Hug
Oh my gosh Bonnie! It's great to finally have a word from you. It sounds as if things are going well for you. And for that I am happy. As far as Alaina goes, all our children must at one time or another try and spread their wings even though we know it might not be the in their best interest. Hoping it all works out according to God's will. Please keep letting everyone know how you are. I leave you with God's blessings... Love, Georgia
