church bell tower in Mandeville, La.
And there was the prettiest little court-
yard garden in back too!"

"Many of the cute little Creole Cottages you will see in South Louisiana have white
picket fences like this one....and some even have names. This one is called Polly-
anna....hopefully because it's owner has a bright outlook on life and sees everything,
more or less, through rose-colored glasses."

"Since we've entered the new year I've tried to renew some of that old Pollyanna
Spirit I once seemed to have....and hope that at least one time in 2012 someone
will call me Pollyanna too!" tee hee

All we like sheep have gone astray.
Each of us turning our own separate
way. We have sinned and fallen
short of Your glory. But Your glory
is what we desire to see. And in
your presence is where we long to be.

Taking our sickness, taking our pain,
Jesus the Sacrifice Lamb has been
slain. He was despised, rejected by
men. He took our sin.

Draw us near to You, Father, through
Jesus Your Son. Let us worship be-
fore You, cleansed by Your blood.
