Everyone else started a blog and I finally got a chance to. I started with my pet's blog. I just wanted to see how to do it. I started Spanky's blog (spankydoodle-missy) because I thought it was cute. Then I got a little carried away. So, as my friend Pam suggested, I am now starting one about myself.
I am a single mom. My daughter, Grace is a student at Crown College of the Bible in Powell, TN. She turned 20 on Friday. She is not a baby anymore. She will be going to England with the college choir in March. I am soo proud of her.
I am a work at home mom. By that I mean, the company I work for set my office up in my house. I usually work in the mornings until 2 pm and that leaves my afternoons free. That helps me be a better neighbor and a church member.
When my pastor's wife was sick and one of my other neighbor's, Mrs. Todd was sick, my pastor's wife called me the nurse of Orient Street. I even got the chance to go to the hospital when my friend Sally was operated on.
One of the best things that ever happened to me was the day I started going to my church, Smyrna Baptist. We are a very small church (by the number of people) but we have the strongest spirit of the Lord. Our church has grown so much this year. Growth isn't always measured in numbers, but sometimes in spirit. God has greater plans than we could ever imagine for our church. I am so excited to see what will happen.
Right now, I am reading "Strenghen thy brethren" by Clarence Sexton. When my father was alive, we got to hear Clarence Sexton, Bruce Turner and Jack Riffe (my pastor) and my father enjoyed hearing all of them. This is a study of I Peter. I haven't gotten too far, but so far it is exactly what I need to get through "times like these".
I make the world's best peanut butter pie. People as far as Venezuela have eaten my peanut butter pie. I was told to keep it away because they ate so much. I'll share some of my favorite recipes one day.
Right now, I am raising my puppy, Spanky. He has been a light in my life right now. I suffer from empty nest syndrome. That means I live alone. For the first time in my life, I only have to answer to God and myself. It is really weird cooking for one. Coming home and leaving when ever I want to. One day, I will get used to it.

Very good! So proud of this! Keep it up! Can't wait! Now when are you going to visit my site and leave me a comment?
oh I think you will find this blog thing addicting. Especially good for you I think, due to being able to journal your thoughts and prayer requests from the comfort of your home! And to have a place to write about whatever is on your heart and mind! I find this really helps me as I struggle with my disabilities at this time in my life.
Very nice blog. I love the backround and congrats on both blogs!!
I affirm to the fact that you make the best peanut butter pie ever!! Could you post the recipe?
