Dear Family, Friends and Others,

After a long illness, I am now on my way back to recovery. Suffice it to say, I am doing well and want to once again share thoughts for This Day. I don't know if I will be able to send every day but I do want to share some of these "gems" with you. They are not mine, so don't ask me to explain them. They are simply my gift to you. As always, if I can pray for you just let me know. Please let me know if you want me to remove your name from the list. Here is the first installment.

Regardless of how severely the winds of adversity may blow,
we set our sails toward joy.
