My name is Audrey Marie and as you can see I'm in the latter part of my life. The best part, no work, no kids, just do what you want, when you want - who said retirement was boring, it's great. Lots of new things to learn like PSP and HTML, making cards, new people to meet, never a dull moment. Life is great! I have 3 children and 6 grandchildren, aged from 12 years to 21 years. (Pictures on my family page) I live in the North of England by the sea with my beautiful little Shih Tzu dog called Bonny Girl. I was married for 42 years before my husband went to be with the Lord after suffering a heart attack. But life wasn't always so good.

Twenty something years ago I was in such a depressed state that I didn't want
to live another day. I was taking all sorts of prescribed drugs - painkillers,
anti depressants, sleeping tablets. Plus the use of alcohol and cannabis. None
of these took away the emotional pain I felt, nor the burden of guilt.
I had never been a church goer, although I did believe in God. So as a sort of
a last resort I got down on my knees and prayed "God if you're out there, please
help me and forgive me".
That was just the beginning of a new and wonderful, fulfilled life with Jesus.
Who is always there for me and helps me through the difficult times. He leads
me and guides me, gives me security and comfort, plus inspiration for my creative
talents. And He can do the same for you.

Once I mistakenly thought of Christ that way, as though he were merely a human being.
How differently I think about him now! What this means is that those who become
Christians become new persons. They are not the same anymore, for the old life is
gone. A new life has begun!
2 Corinthians 5:16-17
