I am a lover of travel, pets and the Lord. I have been to many third world countries trying to offer a helping hand. I have so much that I want to give back. Yet, I always return having been given more than give.

I have six dogs that love to run and play in a huge, fenced yard. I delight in watching them play from the kitchen window and often join them in the fun they have.

I am a Christian and believe that God loves all and we are called to do the same. I believe that there are actions that we cannot "tolerate" in the name of political correctness. I think that Jesus is the way to salvation and that He has made that path available. I believe that I should share that with people more than I do. I also believe that I am to love and help people no matter what faith or lack of faith they embrace. Hopefully through that love, I can share the love that has saved me.

We wanted to make sure that there was some things there that my friend should read once she has looked though all the pictures.

Each person took a nice standard sized paper and decorated with things that my friend would really enjoy. Each person also wrote a note of encouragement or a memories that would make each one laugh. My best friend has told me that her boo...
