Visit My Coffee Corner

Tea Allowed

No I won't make you drink coffee. This is where I will post any news about this site. I have also put a code of conduct there.

My desire is that this site be used, shared and a blessing to all who come by for a spell. Every day sees a new blog (sometimes two) and maybe even an evolution in design.

Join me on this journey to Imagine Jesus and Praise Him daily. He lives in our Praise and we thrive in them!
