Very somber mood in my heart. PRayers appreciated.
Gord...so sorry...many prayers coming your way.

ReplyDeleteThe timing is difficult. I lost one of my grandpas on Christmas Day... it was a hard season.
I'm still photo blogging. Presently planning on continuing, as long as I can remember to upload the photos!
I'm on a silent retreat tomorrow and plan to do some photo blogging of my day with Jesus...
