Displaced

December 8, 2009 by Elaine

It’s been over 5 months since we left Texas. Five months to find a new place for Chinese take out (it took ALMOST THAT long). Five months to find a church we like (but not nearly as much as our previous one). Five months of meeting new people and finding our way around town. We’re…

My Life, It is Blessed

October 20, 2009 by Elaine

I think I failed to mention that when I was sick last week Tim was out of town. He had a 3 day/2 night business trip to another town in Louisiana and although I wished he’d been here, we were well taken care of by my MIL (thank God for her!!) and in retrospect I’m…

God Given Gift

March 28, 2008 by Elaine

I wrote this a while ago – probably early 2006 -(obviously because it says that I was still a “working girl”) about my singing. I thought I would post it as it is still valid and I did not have a blog when I wrote it. I hope it touches some hearts. I love to…
