About rdeemd1

As a thinker, a wife, mother, and grandmother, I view the world differently than many do. An understanding God made this place, and has a place for every human being. He makes how I live and write broader, I hope. Read my blogs and let me know. Please feel free to comment, because growth comes from pushing up through the soil and reaching out with my branches, drinking deeply of rain, and facing the sunshine.

This Blog is Not About Cancer

Posted on November 6, 2019 by rdeemd1

They keep changing WordPress and I’m feeling a little annoyed. You just learn to make something work well and the “powers that be” change it so it’s another puzzle in your life you did not need. Ok. Over it for … Continue reading →
