The "Lion" in Your Life.....

may be an oppurtunity in disguise to become a conqueror. Remember David??? Had it not been for the "lion" he would never have become King! "When the 'lion' comes, recognize it as God's opportunity no matter how rough the exterior. The very tabernacle of God was covered with badgers' skins and goats' hair; one would not think there would be any glory there. The Shekinah of God was manifest under that kind of covering. May God open our eyes to see HIM in our trial and misfortune." C.H.P.

My Treasures..... A Lifetime of Memories

     Memories in your life are treasures tied to your heartstrings. Preserve the timeless treasures of what you have lived, experienced and loved...

Childhood memories of the good ole' South are endless! They include: playing church ~ first vocal recording with my sister (age 4) ~ giving my heart to Jesus at age 5 ~ blistering hot summer church camps ~ a cabin on the campgrounds ~ evening dresses and piano recitals ~ Mother's southern fried chicken ~ Grandma's homemade pies ~ Daddy's southern gentleman ways (and his love for God!) ~ playing "You'll Never Walk Alone" at my high school graduation.

And, the memories go on...
I'll never forget becoming a June bride to my sweetheart (a never ending love story!) ~ giving birth to our miracle from heaven, a tiny blonde-haired angel girl, Shelly Dawn (the sunshine of our lives!).

And, still the memories go on...Memories from the Mid-West are numerous! They include: Revivals (all over the Country) ~ traveling coast to coast with College Music Groups ~ cold blistery winter mornings on the big bus ~ hundreds of McDonald's burgers ~ making forever friends in out-of-the-way places ~ Friday nights with my Indy family ~ the sweet celebration Home-Going of my Father ~ the precious birth of our Granddaughter, Alyson Dawn.



And, the memories go on...
