Why "Masker"?

In college, I was a member of a sorority that was known as Maskers. There were 11 of us girls, all juniors, and 11 seniors. I was the 1997-1998 Masker #7. It was a highlight of my college years and I have used it for computer user ids since then. In the 10 years that have followed, however, I am learning the value of taking off the fake "Mask" and being true and authentic with myself and others. THAT is the purpose of my blog.

Waiting on the Lord

Wow...see the prayer below...guess there's nothing better than praying Scripture back to God! Sorry about the goofy formatting...when I copied it from Miss Reno's email, it was messed up! Just in case anyone doesn't know, even though my dear and precious friend, Miss Reno, is YOUNGER than me, I like to call her by her "teacher title" because it reminds me of our days teaching together...I enjoyed my single days of being Miss Bryant so it's a bit of nostalgia for me to stick with using, "Miss Reno." It's also a title of respect...and love!
