I am a contented "keeper of the home", Bible teacher and homeschool mother of four children.  Three of our children have already graduated from our homeschool and are successfully pursuing college at the present time.

    I began writing my devotions to minister to my friends, who like me, are survivors of polio.  At the age of seven (1955) a month or so after I had the first Salk Vaccine, I contracted bulbar/spinal polio and was hospitalized for six weeks.  The doctors were not certain I would survive as I could not swallow or raise my head.  In fact, I could not turn over in bed without assistance.

    God had other plans for me though.  One day, while my parents waited outside my hospital room, I prayed and asked God to let me go home.  He did and after many months of rest, therapy and recuperation, I made a complete recovery.

    While I have always had difficulty in swallowing after that acute phase, I recovered my strength and ability to pursue a very active lifestyle.  I went to college, married a wonderful Christian man and was blessed to have four children.

    Like many survivors though, I began to notice fatigue, muscle weakness and pain in the early 1990's.  In 1995, I received the diagnosis of Post Polio Syndrome.  However, the Good News is that Jesus is Lord and while I may not be able to be as active as I once was physically, God opened another avenue of service for me in writing devotions.

    I pray that you will be blessed by the things which I share here and that you will also visit the other webpages that are linked to mine.  These are my friends who love the Lord as I do.  Many of us have overcome polio once and now, we are learning to be overcomers once again as we face Post Polio Syndrome.

    May the Lord bless and keep you.
