There really is something about being out in God's open creation that brings Him nearer it seems. <br />So you were born in Illinois?! What town/city? I was actually born in Carbondale, which is Southern Illinois but have lived my life in the Peoria area. Have you lived all of your life in Michigan, since the age of 2?<br />Blessings to you as well,<br />DanetteDanette Bartelmayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12610193916999812047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7655853883628716730.post-69798279537494553292016-08-02T20:28:18.643-05:002016-08-02T20:28:18.643-05:00Beautifully written Danette.
