What's This?

I have been keeping a hand-written journal for sometime now. LaDawnya told me about her online journal, so I decided to start my own. I am back adding my older entries from years past. It might be awhile before I get to the current date. Please bear with me. I hope that nothing I say will offend anyone, for the Bible says, in Matthew 18:6 "But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." I don't want to offend anyone. May the Lord greatly bless you as the Bible declares in 3 John 1:2 "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." (That means that your soul should be prospering.) Again, I am adding my older entries from years past. It might be awhile before I get to the current date. Please bear with me.

Introduction

My name is Mary Ruthelow. It's a weird last name, I know, but it's my last name. I like it. I have been keeping a hand written journal for some time now. I decided to put my writings, musings, and other thoughts online, since the world has gone so far as to have services and vices that will allow you to display your every thought online. (That was a bit wordy, wasn't it?) I tend to do that. Get wordy, but that's just me. Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading what I have written. Remember, The Past Is Over, But You Can Always Reminisce!
