The words of this are powerful.
🎶I was buried beneath my shame
Who could carry that kind of weight?
The old made new, Jesus when I met You 🎶
Jesus died on the cross for YOU and for me.

Cherokee Trail book review
This was written by me in late September of 2016. No real computer access means this is only now getting put up here.
I just reread The Cherokee Trail , by Louis L'Amour.
It's set in the middle of the War Between the States/U.S. Civil War.
The protagonist is Mary Breydon, a widow with a small daughter.
Heading West with her husband to start over, he is suddenly gunned down. She decides to go on, and do the job her husband was hired for. A stage stop and station. Rough, brutal work for anyone.
The American frontier towards the end of the Civil War was still raw, untamed, wild.
Into this desolate land, came refined Mary Breydon, who knew the finest things in life. Torn away from them in horrific style, she proves the grit inherited from her ancestors is still strong.
Once Mary takes over the running of the station, she gathers a widely varied cast of people around her. Each one with their own talent to help.
An Irish girl, a born fighter. A young orphan boy, wily beyond his years. A man, deadly with a gun, yet with a kindness in him. The tough old man, worth ten regular men in a frontier fight. A wealthy neighbor.
There are many more, including the enemy who had murdered Mary's husband in cold blood on a town street on their Westward journey.
Even though I only grabbed this book because it was one of L. L.'s I'd not yet read,; in a single reading it became a "must have" for my bookshelf.
Enjoy your reading today!

Thankfuls
I am going to list a few things I'm thankful for today. I choose to be thankful today.
1. I have a job that I enjoy
2. Co-workers that make me excited to come in for the day.
3. The ability and gift to sing well. (A miracle, as I could not as a small child.)
4. New friends who challenge me to walk closer with Jesus.
5. The ability and enjoyment of working outside.
