I love living here. The beauty of God's glory never ceases to amaze me. I remember when we first moved here almost 6 years ago thinking that I would never like it here. Why would I? It was hot all of the time. The bugs are terrible. The humidity never goes away.
I am happy to report that daily God open my eyes to being here. He placed our family here for His purpose. He is preparing me for what He has planned for me. He is molding and shaping me into His likeness.
On that note, another advantage of living is here getting the small chance of seeing America at it's finest. Last Friday night, the space shuttle launched. Unfortunately, there were far too many trees in our neighborhood for us to view. However, 2 nights ago, Monday evening at exactly 6:30 p.m., I happen to flip the news on and overheard Robert Van Winkle mention that the Space Station was over us at that very moment and that we would catch a glimpse of the shuttle landing on the space station. With all of my might I literally grabbed Shelly off of the couch (in only her under garments) and headed for the door. Can I just say WOW!@ It was the most amazing thing I ever saw in the sky. It was so incredibly bright that it was blinding. It was moving at a pace that you had to continue to adjust your eyes but it was there, plain as the naked eye could see.

I followed your blog from Feedjit (I was checking my visitors and saw that you were near) and noticed that you were near us. We are in N. Ft. Myers for the winter. I enjoyed reading and see that you are writing for your daughter. I've been jotting things down for a few years for my kids and they are way older than you. It's so nice to see others who love The Lord and are proud to say so. Keep up the good work.
