My Soul's Salvation

I run from all fears

    Into the sanctuary

       Of your loving arms,

You are my heart's protector

    And my soul's true salvation.






for Chris's T(h)anka You contest

Francine, Thank you for your prayers for John Loving. The sadness he is feeling must be overwhelming now. He wanted his relationship with April to grow and lead to a future together. God bless you for your thoughtfulness. It is hard to stop thinking about John's loss today. He is such a sweet man. Love, Carolyn
