Happy Mother's Day


I've been traveling and speaking for more than a week now, and I'll be heading for home tomorrow after speaking at Grace Life Church, in Woodstock, GA.

This picture captures my mother as I best remember her--radiant and ready to cheer you on. She was brilliant! If you'd like to see a video presentation of her incredible life (she passed on nearly three years ago), go to http://web.mac.com/ralphandsarah/HarrisFamily/In_Memory_of_Maryjane_Harris.html.

She's even more radiant and cheerful now.

    Wow....I have that whole Mercy Me album on my iPod. What an incredible tribute to an incredible lady. Maryjane and John Harris had a million friends because they were so special. Don't know many couples like them to be honest with you. I will always remember them fondly. ♥
    And loved seeing the picture of your mom, Ada Watson, Marie Sanders, Mrs. Hoover, Jackie Flynn, etc.

    Just speaking the truth. Of all the parents in San Marino, your parents were the most real.....the most loving.....and your dad had the most incredible hug. Just sayin' . Love you my friend.

    Wow...we Smiths missed so many of these wonderful SM family memories because we moved in relatively late. Your mom and dad sound like a pair I would have liked, for sure!
