Lesson learned the past few days:
It’s more or less a re-learned – It’s fun to CREATE!  Especially when you are doing for other people !  it’s amazing because we as believers are Created in the image of god and God himself is the creator of everything in this world.  I was made to create!

On my mind:My grandmother–she is aVERY sick lady.

Genesis 1:1  In the ginning god created the heavens and the earth…and it was good!
