What do I do to fill my days? Everything that brings me joy: quilting, watching grandkids, playing piano, participating in my church\u2019s quilt ministry, reading (besides my Bible, historical fiction and biography are my favorite genres), knitting and quilting.\u00a0Did I say I love to quilt! (I am diligently working to diminish the stash accumulated while working in a fabric store.) Faith Free Lutheran is my church home, where I have been involved with children\u2019s ministry, music and I now facilitate a \u201cSingle Ladies of a Certain Age\u201d small group.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God has given me a blessed life. It hasn\u2019t been without challenges or trials, but He has walked with me every day of my life.\u00a0One of my favorite Scriptures passages that speaks to God\u2019s hand in my life is found in Lamentations 3, verses 22 &amp; 23: \u201cThe steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.\u201d<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let me introduce myself.
