All the Keys to Your Heart


'Keep vigilant watch over your heart:
that's where life starts.

Watch your step,

Look neither right nor left;

But, with the years of the Lord in my heart and the grace poured on me, I'm doing better. Trusting HIM, and not me, is a "good thing."

  4. OH yes ... He is so trustworthy, never fails, knows when to speak, knows when to act!

    I'm so thankful that He has it all in His most capable hands!

    Thanks Caryjo ...

Welcome to the table, friend!

This is where we gather and hang out. I'd love for you to pull up a chair and jump right into the conversation. Or simply say 'hello.'

l'll be dropping in to visit you sometime soon ...
