this summer is one for the record books. it is one of the hottest i've ever experienced. phew! ---=====oooOOOooo=====--- i went on a retreat over the weekend. it was truly a blessing! the retreat was geared towards finding a purpose in life -- something which i have been questioning for awhile now. this came at a time when i was ready and willing to accept my mission - the Lord is indeed GREAT! my facilitator was just wonderful. may God bless her. she shared with me her vision of heaven -- which i will cherish for always. in this retreat i learned that i was a royal princess by virtue of being a child of God. I've been waiting my whole life for someone to tell me that and now i can shout it from the rooftops -- I'm a pretty princess! ---=====oooOOOooo=====--- my sister and i talked on the phone recently. (there are 4 kids in the house on account of the summer vacation) me: how's everything sis? flosie: i'm going to go bankrupt! me: why? flosie: everytime i cook it&
