Website Updates and Messages

More images will be added to the Bible Topics of Words for your Psyche. Once I've reached the number of computer plates I have set as a goal, I will upload them. However, you'll find, today, a new photo gallery for the Bible Topics, Children and Worship.

Next year, I am planning to make and publish another website. This time, it is a paid subscription. Hopefully, this will materialize. My JimdoFree account (Hearts Philippines & Then Some) has many topics. One of these topics will be the topic of the new website.

To all the victims of hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons and earthquakes last month and this month, my heart bleeds and prays for you all. God bless you all.

And God bless me, my mom and my Little Angel Gabby.
