Good Morning!

One of the things that hinders my writing is the design of the blog template itself. Silly, I know. I've been working on it for two days and still can't seem to be content. I'm settling on the wood planks for now, but I'm not satisfied with the color choices. Truth is, I like all sorts of designs. I love flowers, barns, art, fields, the sky, sunsets, oceans, mountains, and .......music. Where is the template that meshes all that together? Hopefully, eventually, it'll be a cozy place to display my heart. Until then, hang in here with me. Blog design has never been my strong suit. If I could afford it, I'd pay somebody to do it for me. I dislike it that much. I'm creative in other ways, I suppose.  

So, I'm trying to step back into writing. It's good therapy for me. Sorry, if you thought it was for you. ;)
My heart seems to overflow with emotion and, quite frankly, there's not enough ears (or time) around here to listen to all my thoughts. I'm usually on the listening side in my real life, anyway. Three creative kids have LOTS of thoughts and we allll want to express ourselves. All. the. time. I only hope the good Lord uses us for His glory; even with all our quirks.

What else? Our community (all of East Texas) lost a dear man of God, yesterday. He was a physician in Tyler, devoted husband, dedicated father, solid friend, and steadfast in his walk with his saviour, Jesus Christ. He was a true example of godliness. He is now sitting at the feet of Jesus, worshipping. Praising. We mourn his loss, but he has gained everything. In this we rejoice!
