I’m wondering if this was my day for Olivia to pray for me.
Each year, my high school friend, Olivia Portera, places all her birthday and Christmas cards in a big bowl. She draws one out each day and spends 24 hours praying for the sender. You can bet she is at the top of our greeting card list.

Green tea is becoming the darling of some medical researchers, and I’ve been trying to drink a couple of cups a day.
I had a brilliant idea recently while preparing to attend a dinner party. I brewed up some green tea with fresh mint, poured into an old wine bottle which had a black and white label proclaiming it the “House Wine” and took it to the party.
Most of the dinner guests brought bottles of expensive wine. Half way through the night I noticed someone had drained my ‘”House Wine.” That gave me a big chuckle. Bet he or she was puzzled why they couldn’t get a buzz on.
