"Oh happy day!" After almost two years, our book is finished and printed. It has been an exciting, wonderful journey. You will need to read the book to understand how this all came about. Over 55 years ago, while pastoring the church in Adrian, my husband was driving Madison School bus to supplement our income. He came home and told me about three little girls who rode his bus that were not going to Sunday School. We visited them and invited them to come. They accepted the Lord. They grew up, went to college, married, had children and we lost contact with them. Two years ago God directed us to come together and write this book. These were stories that I had written over a 10 year period of time. Actually they were letters of encouragement that had been sent out while I was in pastoral care. One dear lady, Lois Hymes, kept the letters and literally "bugged" me constantly to have them printed in book form. With the help of Greg Shiparo and the H.O.C. printing company in Toledo, Sheila Bowering, her mother Helen Waggoner (proof readers), Gail Palpant, Jill Breckel, my sister Nonie who did all my housework, I am happy to announce that THE BOOK IS FINISHED!!! In reality there are many people to whom I owe a debt of gratitude. It would be impossible to name them all. But most of all to the Lord Jesus Christ who has helped me through the years to see His story written every day in my life.

I threw my back out and came downstairs to change positions and stayed up till about 2 am reading your book. I was inspired, entertained, and moved. I look forward to you coming to minister at BCC Sister Clay.
