I Don't Regret A Mile

God has been so good to me- I am thankful for Christian Parents, my friends, family, the many great examples I have had in my lifetime to follow. I am thankful for accepting Christ as my savior at a young age- actually at Devils Lake Bible Camp when I was nine. Rick Klinge sent me a ancestory research study he had done on our family. Its very interesting and I learned a lot. I often wish walls could talk and we could listen and see back in time instead of just seeing names. Life is made up of moments not days. I dug out a resume of the many jobs I have been blessed with, and perhaps there are some things I should have done differently, some areas would have been differently if I had chosen different jobs, but I certainly don't regret a mile serving for my Lord....
