We left for the open road With open minds And open hearts. We stopped for coffee In a small cafe In a little town in Colorado. I daydreamed as I sipped That I lived and worked there Until I grew old and tired. That could have been my life But I paid our bill And walked out the door...

I feel like I should share this healing testimony from a few years ago. The Lord me led me to start praying for my family and friends that "our bodies work as God created them to in the Garden of Eden." I faithfully prayed that for a year, then changed my prayers and kind of forgot about it...
