"For you, O Lord, have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling, that I may walk before the Lord in the land of the living….O Lord, truly I am your servant….You have freed me from my chains."
Psalm 116:8-9, 16

“We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our body.”
1 Corinthians



“There is a joy in the journey, there’s a light we can love on the way. There is a wonder and wildness to life, and freedom for those who obey…” Michael Card

janet's Story "I’m about to be a quick-change artist and turn that introduction of me that you just read inside out. Oh, the formal ‘bio’ is correct. I have been a wife, teacher, mom, grandma, pro-family activist, and education consultant. That is my one story. But now, I want to share with you my other story.
