I enjoyed the story very much and the pictures. I caught some of those pix when I was looking for one to you. She was a beautiful lady with a gift for swimming and got rich from it. There will never be another Esther!

No, there will never be another Ester! Who is her husband now? I had remembered she was once married to Fernando Lamos, but he had passed away!

I don’t remember his name. She had her 3 children by her second husband and I think his name was Ben Gage.

Lady Jag gave me that. She posted it once and I loved it and she said “Take it!” I miss her.

Darn it...I did another post back to you about Lady Jag and it wouldn’t show up. I can’t figure it out.
But what I said was “I miss her graphics and pretty poetry,” and she could be so funny!

Thank you! I’m not posting so much of late because I’ve been feeling better and working on getting stronger. My health is a train wreck; being able to fight back is encouraging. Have a long way to go.
Hope you’re all well.
Happy June!

Undeterred Determination
June 5, 2010
One of the great privileges of serving at Moody Bible Institute was hearing about graduates who had impacted the world for Christ. Their stories of sacrifice, perseverance, and passion for the gospel were inspiring.
In the late 19th century, Mary McLeod Bethune spent 2 years studying at Moody in Chicago, training to become a missionary in Africa. But after she graduated, no mission board would give her the opportunity, as an African-American woman, to serve on the mission field. Unable to fulfill her dream to go to Africa, she didnt give up on her calling to serve Jesus. Undaunted, she started a small school for African-American girls in Florida that would eventually blossom into Bethune-Cookman College. She became a powerful force for change in the status of women.
Marys legacy was forged by her determination to serve Jesus even in the face of shattered dreams. She knew that God had entrusted to her the ministry of reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:18)and she wouldnt give up.
That wasnt just a mandate for Mary McLeod Bethune. Telling people they can be reconciled to God through Christ is a calling given to all of us. Look for a way to make a difference for Jesus todayright where you are!
Wherever You have placed us, Lord,
Give us the courage to proclaim
To people who are lost in sin:
You can be new in Jesus name. Sper
One of the qualities God looks for in His people is a heart that is willing to serve Him.
Read: 2 Corinthians 5:16-21
All things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:18

Good Saturday Morning Jaycee! You mention " open and closing" the pool...forgive my innocent question...do you keep it covered unless you are using it? My son and daughter have pools and they have a maintenance man but leave it uncovered.
Now if the answer is obvious I will wish I hadn't pressed " send"! LOL
