Good morning, everyone.

Good to hear from you and that you are praying and lighting candles for little Cooper and his family. I heard from his Grandmother and he isn't doing very well. The little guy had a really rough time with his last treatment. His number were supposed to be good but they were not. He is back in isolation. He can't go anywhere or be around anyone, and they have to be very cautious where they go and who they are in contact with. Thanks for the prayers. Most of the time, it's all that keeps them going.

Everyone, please, please pray for this family. I can't imagine what they all are going through. There is also a little girl, Cooper's sister, and a small baby to deal with in the reality of each day they face.

I haven't learned yet how to post the updates on the Bobby Cutts, Jr., trial. So for those interested, he was convicted and sentenced in the murder of his pregnant girlfriend, their unborn child, child endangerment of his son, Blake, that he left alone, and much more. He is facing 57 years in prison, and was shipped off to a prison the other day to start serving his time. Now there is an appeal, of course, and that could take years, but at least the murderer is behind bars and not producing more children, controlling someone else, and making someone else's life miserable.

In his young life, (30 years old), he has managed to add to society's growing list of taking care of jerks that get to go to prison and have more options and privileges than a lot of us. So now we get to keep him alive for 57 years. What a joke. He took two very precious lives. He left a path of destruction it seems his entire life, and now we as a society get to "keep" him in a facility where he will get better treatment than a lot of people in this world.

On a brighter note, March has arrived. Okay, we still have had more snow, ice, and wind, but today is supposed to be calm and a little warmer up until Tuesday night. Then, another winter storm is coming. Enough is enough. I'm looking forward to daffodils, sunshine, and warmth!

I'm going to be going to Lakeland College on Saturday, March 29, for an author's workshop. I am looking forward to it and to also learn new things. I can take some books along, and hopefully will sell them!

Stay safe. Be blessed. Life is a gift each day we have it. Rejoice and be glad in it!
With warmest regards,
Becky :)
