Digital Images of the Sky

If you are like me and love looking into the heavens, this site is a banquet for you. I found it sort of accidentally, meaning the web address was on a wall paper I have but I only noticed it a couple of days ago. I love stars and space and this is quiet a bit of both.

And Ill Wind

We all know the cliche but it is true. On top of family problems, I've been sick with a bad cold all week. I think it has turned into a sinus infection. There is one more day this week. If I can get through that, I may be able to take a rest Saturday. That is doubtful but one can hope.

I have to thank all of you again for your prayers. They have been felt! I have seen some changes in some things in the last couple of days. The problem is not solved but I can see prayers at work. My husband called our pastor on Monday afternoon and within an hour there was a sense of peace that swept over me and I was able to gain a sense of calm. I wasn't "over" it. I just felt that something had "changed". Maybe just me.

Tonight, I sit here listening to the music on my site in another window. I do that often when browsing your sites or just cruising the web. I find there is a sense of calm I get from listening to it that comforts me after a hectic or difficult day. I don't preach here often to people although I don't hide what I am. Tonight, I feel a need to say that if you are not a believer, I will be praying for you. I can assure you that I know prayer works. I know that God is watching and he does care when we are wounded and need comfort. I know beyond doubt that MY Redeemer is alive and he is my compass and guide. Storms may roll in and rage against me but he shelters me and when the storm is over I may be bruised and battered by the onslaught. But when it passes, when the clouds have blown away, when the sun breaks through and I feel it on my face I know that he has never once left my side. God is great and words can't begin to convey the magnitude of his greatness.

For those of you who doubt miracles, let me just say that I am evidence of miracles so I know nothing is impossible with God. Someday, maybe I can tell you about my miracle. Let me just finish this post by saying, He is real. He does exist. I have absolutely no doubt, even in the worst times, no, especially in the worst times, I am positive.

FBI: Pa. student hoped to breed sex slave family - USATODAY.com

I was reading the news online today and ran across this article. Those of you who have read my paper, The Most Dangerous Kind of Madness, may find the following article interesting. The person mentioned in this article is from the same area as one of my subjects, John Humphrey Noyes, in the above paper. I am willing to bet that he is a distant relative. In my paper, it mentions that John Noyes envisioned "multiple marriage".This is where everyone is married to everyone in the commune. Read this article with that in mind! Must run in the family!

May Be Away for Awhile

I do not know if I will be here for awhile. I'm in a very bad place right now. They are moving away and taking Sarah. I won't be able to see her or keep her anymore unless we can drive to where they will be. My husband doesn't get holidays off and usually can't get off when I am off so we will not be able to see here the way we usually spend time with her.

I have to go for now. My friends, please pray for me. I am not good at all right now.
