I’ve always loved to write, but am excited about just writing down some thoughts and interacting with others via “blogging”. Life has been full (I’m a mom of 5 boys and 1 girl….stayed home for years and am now back to teaching special education full time at a local elementary school). It’s sometimes tough to find time to wade through the busy stuff of life to get to the important. A few years ago, my family had some very close calls and that made me want to make the most of my days in a whole new way. So I thought I’d try to put some effort into writing my thoughts in this form. I love to take photos and draw analogies from visuals. I believe in Jesus Christ and am so thankful for the way that God speaks through creation. I see things through the eyes of one who believes that He IS, and that changes everything. Hope you enjoy the blog. Thanks for stopping by! Would love to hear your thoughts.
We have lots in common…belief in Christ, I am a retired elementary teacher and I am addicted to blogging. I started in India and still at it after we got home. Namaste. . . .Anne blog is talesalongtheway.com

You’re welcome. I enjoy reading. I decided to do the ‘no awards’ route because of a lack of time, etc. I do like opportunities to share my blog and would love to have more readers but at this point in my life am just keeping things simple. I’ve accepted them in the pat but just feel that it’s a timing thing! Blessings, Heather

Hi Heather,
My name is Jeff Reinert. I know your sister, Holly. You gave me some lyrics many years ago, one of which I wrote a song to a long time ago. I’ve just started putting some of my music online recently, and I was wanting to include the song with your lyrics, if you would allow. Please email me back and we can discuss. Here’s a link to my latest offering :). Scripture Memory, Vol. 1. https://youtube.com/@jeffreinert1
