the shootings in Newtown were devastating.
it's horrible.
it's heartbreaking.
it is evil.
Psalms 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Lord continue to be with all the families affected by this tragedy.

my friend pam is getting better and her girls are getting better too.
their health is improving.
i am praising God for that this week!
i have absolutely LOVED the amazingness of the internet and cell phones this week.
she and i can "talk" fairly easily ACROSS THE WORLD!
getting an email from Pam is cause for stopping what i am doing and reading it.
i love to hear from her.

talby and i put together some Blessing Bags yesterday.
she said "this is so nice to do for people! this makes me feel good."

she was reading my mind.
i look forward to her being able to pass them out.
