    Sunday, my mother lost her battle with illness and passed away peacefully in her sleep. I thought I was prepared as we knew three months ago that she was on her deathbed, but I am just coping barely. She was really the only parent I had as my father had nothing to do with us from the time I was eight. His death meant little as he was my father but not my daddy, a marked difference.

    Thanks to all of you who have been here for me, who have put up with my illness flaring up, who have ...

    John.18

    [38] Pilate saith unto him, What is truth?

  5. Black Thursday…
