Let's Keep Our Hopes Up
Written by: Jill Sheets

I am depressed about what is going on in the world, feeling helpless.  I know God is there for me because He is there for everyone but that does not mean t I am not scared.  The unknown is terrifying and this is a big unknown.  This is something as a generation we have never encountered.

But there are things to remember.  One the news only tells us how many people have died from this virus, but not ones that have kicked it in the tail and made it through.  Why not tell us about the people who are making it?  The ones who said, “We had it and survived.” Even though we need all the news, but people need to hear the good also.

What about the people who are doing random acts of kindness.  Like the people who are helping the elderly who cannot get out and who are just afraid as we are. People who are staying open as long as they can to help customers.  The doctors, nurses and other medical personal who are working long hours to help us.  There are so many stories that could put a smile on someone's face. For a moment, letting us forget about it and give us hope.  Not to give up.

We are human, so we want someone to answer for this. We can blame who we want for this outbreak, but what we really need is standing together any way we can.  It may not be next to each other literally. But a post, a call, reminder that this too shall pass.  We will make it through.

I love you all.  I am always here.  May God Bless you.

My favorite bible verse:

Philippians 4:13 : I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me.

Review: The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper By Jill Sheets Summery came from  http://www.fionaingram.com/ "Continuing the adventure that ended in Britain just a short while ago, cousins Adam and Justin Sinclair, with their friend Kim Maleka, are now hunting for the third Stone of Power, one of seven mysterious stones lost centuries ago. The third stone might be located in an ancient city, hidden in the depths of the Mexican jungle. When their small plane crashes in the jungle, Adam, Justin, Kim, and James are rescued by an uncontacted tribe. James, who is wounded, must stay behind as the kids, with only a young boy, Tukum, as their guide, make their way through the dense and dangerous jungle to find the city. Riding makeshift rafts on a crocodile-infested river and evading predators are just part of this hazardous task. Of course, their old adversary Dr. Khalid is close behind as the kids press on in search of the lost city of stone gods. But he is not the...

Chit Chatting with Neill McKee

 Chit Chatting with Neill McKee Interview by: Jill Sheets J: Tell us about yourself. N: I guess you could call me a world wanderer from Canada. I was never happy staying in one place, beginning in my early years, as I have described in Kid on the Go! Memoir of My Childhood and Youth. I was a mischievous child and a rebel in my youth, but I began to think differently in senior high school with the help of my English teacher and other mentors. I was rather lost in my university days—didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life, until I saw a poster to apply to become a volunteer teacher overseas, much like the Peace Corps in the US, but with no compulsion to escape the draft for the Vietnam War. At the end of the memoir, in 1968, I head off to the exotic island of Borneo in Southeast Asia to teach secondary school, an experienced that changed my life. My award-winning memoir, Finding Myself in Borneo: Sojourns in Sabah, tells readers how it all happened—a maturing experience. It also...

"Adriana" Review

 "Adriana" Review Review by: Jill Sheets I was excited to get the book "Adriana," by Leslie Hachtel and I could not wait to start to read it.  It was worth the wait. I loved this book. I was hooked by the second page. "Adriana" is a descriptive book and a fast read. I quickly fell in love with the characters, especially the main ones. It was not hard to root for them.  I like that the chapters were mainly short, especially with someone with a short attention span. If you like romance books, this one would be a good one for you.
