"The LORD is my shephard, I shall not want"
"he makes me lie down in green pastures"
"He leads me beside still waters,"
"He restores my soul"
"He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake"
"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death"
"I fear no evil, for thou art with me"
"thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies"
"thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows"
"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life"
"and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever"

I would like to dedicate this page to all the loved ones that my very special internet friends and family have lost in the past years who cannot be with us physically today, but are forever in our hearts.
June 29, 2004: Donna I dedicate this in your honor and memory as a dear friend I will never forget. I am so thankful for the times we shared during these past 8 years and especially the past few months. Thank you for sharing your life with me. Your battle has come to an end but not the memories many of us share. You are a very special lady and gave to others so often and not asking in return. Your shoulder was there when needed. You stood by "Ducky" through his illness and never once did I hear you complain. Now the two of you can be together forever. A special thank you to your family for sharing you with us. Take care my friend, may you rest in peace. (Linda aka Tb)

God hath not promised skies always blue
Flower-strew pathways all our life through
God hath not promised sun without rain
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain

Unfailing sympathy

One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach
.... with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed
two sets of FOOTPRINTS in the sand;
one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed by,
he looked back at the FOOTPRINTS in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of life,
there was only one set of FOOTPRINTS.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered the man
and he questioned the LORD about it.
" LORD, You said that once I decided to follow YOU,
YOU would walk me all the way.
But, I have noticed that during the most troublesome
times in my life, there is only one set of FOOTPRINTS.
I don't understand why when I needed YOU most,
YOU would leave me."
The LORD replied, " My precious, precious child,
I love you, and I would NEVER leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of FOOTPRINTS,
IT WAS THEN THAT I CARRIED YOU."
