It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

I am a happily married mother and grandmother of a large family. I've also had several careers including writer, teacher, trucker, investment and finance advisor, web master and artist. I am an ordained minister (not to the pulpit) and consider my calling to Christ's service my most important role in life.

Veterans Day Tribute

Today is Veteran's Day, and no matter how we respond to recent election results, we have the RIGHT TO VOTE! From the onset of this country, our military men and women with the grace of God, paid a great price to preserve that freedom and all others freedoms we yet enjoy.

I have made a tribute page at http://ionanet.com/press/cards/vet.htm to honor our Veterans and praise the Lord for each of them. The "models" for my art are hopefully familiar to you from other pieces.

Please pray for our our troops and Veterans and support Vet assistance groups like PVA and some newly formed Traumatic Brain Injury support groups for Vets.

Richard and all his brothers are Veterans, as is my only brother. Six of our children and two grandchildren are Veterans. Others of them are married to Veterans. Including our children, their spouses and their children, we have nine on active duty right now. One daughter is in Afghanistan and a grandson-in-law is in Iraq. The others are stateside just now.

Let us pay tribute to all our Vets, on active duty, or no longer in the service, and hold them up in prayer daily. Pray also for our great nation; may she stand honorably for the values upon which she was founded.
