".....do not be afraid..."

One of many passages in the Bible that says "do not be afraid" John 14:27 finishes with "do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

Tomorrow finishes up a three day art workshop and it is so fun and I am learning so much! All our night class when I go except one person is there and about 10 others.

While we ate dinner tonight John and I had a music station on the TV and Rosemary Clooney was on. We remembered when she came to my high school and performed.

Another memory of what famous person we have seen and heard.

It won't seem like Sunday to miss Church but this is when the workshop was scheduled. This spring we will go to Pepperdine University in California to a lectureship and that is always so uplifting. All the speakers are the best preachers, teachers and authors. Can't wait! Meantime, I feel good, fingernails might be growing a little and hair also...very slowly.
