My mom is a neverending song in my heart of comfort, happiness, and being. I may sometimes forget the words but I always remember the tune. ~Graycie Harmon When you think about it, life is so very fragile, so touch and go, and there are so many things that can go wrong – that do…

Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise to him. - Psalm 95:2 (NLT) I sit here at my computer tonight, listening to the rain falling outside my window. I'm still full from roasted turkey and lots of carbs: cornbread dressing (my mom's recipe); green bean casserole (doesn't really count…
