Christian AuthorI am one who loves to write and share the Lord. I live in Little Elm, Texas and love to travel and meet people and see the world through the fabulous internet. A retired great-grandparent who loves to build up and encourage God's people in their faith. I also hope to do the work of the evangelist and point any man who does not know Jesus toward his love and his gospel truth which has the power to set them free. There is no love to compare with the Love of Jesus!

"May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable (and pleasing) in THY sight, O Lord my God and my Redeemer."

Whatever we ended up saying as the ... Read Christian Article
