Just A Block Away From Paradise

That's right. I live just one block away from Paradise Lane. It fits. Nothing in my life is perfect but lots of areas come kinda close. Jesus saved my soul and righted my wrongs. I've had the same, faithful, hard-working husband for the past 25+ years. My kids, though still kids, are growing into wonderful, responsible, fun & interesting adults. I belong to the best church in the world! My body still works reasonably well. I have many golden friends who enrich my life.

I live in the great Desert Southwest. Yeah, we've got heat but it's a DRY heat and I will probably never get victory over complaining about it! Nonetheless, I never have to contend with hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, flood, mud, bugs, mold & mildew, rusted out cars, frozen locks, snow shovels or spring forward/jump back time changes.
I've been blessed greatly and try to always realize the "downers" of life are necessary for weaning me off this world and increasing my longing for heaven - the only TRUE Paradise there is! May this little pilgrim NEVER get too comfortable here!
