Dear Mister Eric Goode: 

I thoroughly enjoyed your interview.  Thank you for all the good {no pun intended, I promise} that you are doing for this species!! 

Your friend & fellow turtle admirer,

Sing to Him a New Song

I am thankful we sang this song at church today. I needed to hear it, sing it, proclaim it, confess it, cry it out and believe it... not just today but every day.
   
One Thing Remains

And on and on and on and on it goes

Your love never fails

It never gives up 

It never runs out on me

It's higher than the mountains that I face

It's stronger than the power of the grave

It's constant in the trial and the change

This one thing remains

And on and on and on and on it goes

It overwhelms and satisfies my soul

And I never, ever, have to be afraid

This one thing remains

Your love

In death, in life

I'm confident and covered by the power of Your great love

My debt is paid

There's nothing that can separate my heart from Your great love

Your love never fails 

It never gives up 

It never runs out on me

And on and on and on and on it goes

Hello there, 28!

My favorite time of day on my favorite day :-]

Not much has changed...

Oh, Publix!

The balloons at Publix have stolen my heart once again!!!
