Mornings with Mary: My Journey

So here it is.  I hope the reader is not disappointed. My searching for somewhere to worship God began when I was in grade school. I went to church with various  friends. I did not find my place till I was in junior high school.   The name of the house of worship was Avondale Methodist Church.

Father's Day 2013

Happy Father's Day, Dad!  May you be wrapped in the arms of our Savior. I took all three of these photos  in the early 1960s.

At left is my younger brother Charlie, then Daddy  and my Momma.  This one photo was taken in my hubby's and my home. The other two were taken in my parents' home. Pictured with Daddy is Little Bit. A warm memory I cherish is of my Momma calling me after my three babies (aged 1, 2 & 3) were asleep.  She told me to bring them over so that they could witness Little Bit's babies being born. So I wrapped them up, and off we went!  Here with Daddy are his older  brother Elbert and younger brother George.
