By by L. Agnes Russell, READ MORE > 10,482 Reads
On Sun, 02/21/2021 - 05:00 AM

Getting “caught up” in an obsession with seeing how many phrases I could find ending in the word “up,” I decided that might have been just an idea from my little peanut brain, rather than an answer to prayer for a subject.

Many years ago, my mind was in the “middle of a muddle,” as to how to pray for one of my children who was having a difficult time. In His mercy, He heard my cry and showed me how He could work miracles in muddles, if I would have faith in the midst of it.

Many people know Debbie Gibbs, a native of Decatur. I knew her both at Clarke-Venable Baptist Church and while teaching at Newton County High School. That lady has been a blessing to all who have ever known her.

Two of my granddaughters, independent of each other, answered my question to them as to what I should write this week with almost exactly the same words! “Mamaw,  just say, ‘I just hope 2021 will be better than 2020’! Then period. That’s all.”
