October 28, 2000...

While going through some old notes today, found in a neglected box at the back of the bookshelves, I came across one, written on a piece of small yellow tablet paper, in my own handwriting. It was not dated and I have no recollection of ever having written it, so it must have been long ago, before ever I had a computer. But as I read it, I can see that it was prophetic of a desire put on my heart which just may have been the inspiration resulting in this web site.

Finding this note is especially encouraging to me.  For years, my husband and I spent most evenings in quiet study and singing a little. We were hosting Saturday night worship services and Bible studies.

Then along came our beautiful son, another story in itself, and ever since, I seem to have been caught on the proverbial treadmill of full-time employment, parenting (unexpected and for which I was in NO way prepared), and trying like so many others to keep my head above water with the myriad tasks of life. As responsibilities soared, and time and energy dwindled, so did my ability to think and care much else.

But, the Lord is good and has allowed me to redeem the time. I hope to be able to continue to provide a little inspiration and encouragement with this web site and to offer a cup of cold water in His name. 

I pray the Lord will bless and touch all who enter.
