Revelation 7:12, “Thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen.” At 1:49am on March 14, 2014, I received a call that forever changed my life. Joe, my husband of 39 years had had a stroke. My first thought was that there was a mistake. He seemed perfectly

Sadly, due to my ambitious social climbing in high school, I
