Meet My Family.....                     

I have always had a "nagging" about hell. When my parents died, the nagging turned into real,
serious, questions that had to have answers.  But, you know what?  God was "up to it."  I
believe that before the world was formed, He knew I would ask.  Being the wise one that he is,
He uses "opposites" to teach us the things we need to know. My fear caused me to search
for the truth. Now, because I was filled with fear,  I am  filled with faith!   Jesus promised us,
"seek and you will find."  

You may not feel that is ok to admit it, even to yourself, but when it comes to your family's
eternal well being, you have probably wrestled with some of the same thoughs I wrestled with.
Or,  you could fear hell for yourself?   I recently spoke with a lady who is afraid of going to hell.
She believes in Jesus, and is the member of a Baptist church so, why is she afraid of going to
hell?

    This is the YWCO in Laurel. Aunt Rosie and I have lunch
    there on Tuesdays. It's a warm, cozy, comfortable,
    setting where we can just eat and visit with old friends
    and co-workers and just whoever happens to show up...

    This is Peggy Myrick Knight. She is a local artist and
    happened to be showing some of her paintings at the Y
    this particular day.

    My husbad was in Tupelo, MS at a union meeting and ran into
    Percy Sledge. Percy  is an awsome singer...goes way back.

My Mom and Dad.

Better known as Mamaw

They were both full of the
beautiful giftings of God
and they very much loved
their children and
grandchildren.

We had two little "newbies"  to join the family.
They were scheduled to arrive in February.

This is  baby Alana Grace Boutwell, Brad and
Amanda's baby girl.

Little Allie had a scary entrance to planet Earth around 5:30
am. She was not breathing when she was born and her
heart had stopped....by 3:00 she was off the respirator and
going strong. She's a trooper!

Here she is getting well on the respirator...
No tubes or wires now :)
Mom's first time to hold her little girl...she was very sick
with toxemia.
