Apparently I have shy bloggers…that’s ok!  I guess I’ll just have to read some more Jane!

“Mighty to Save”~Hillsong

Because it’s fun to try out my new blogging skills…here’s another praise song! It references the verse for this week’s devotion. Also, we sang it in church yesterday and it is one of my favorites.

“God’s Songs”
“The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17

I enjoyed every minute of it! Each production was well done and in my opinion, better than the Hollywood versions. My personal [...]

Hello World!

Hello World! (O.K….that may be a bit presumptuous. I’ll be lucky if my family, and maybe even some friends, actually read this! Anyway…) Welcome to my blog! I am so glad you popped in for a visit!
