I’ll stick with Whose I am – a child of the Most High God, through the blood of Jesus Christ. I don’t say this to sound spiritual. The truth is, I am an ambassador of the Lord Jesus Christ, called to speak as He would speak and live as He would live, and, in this case, write as He would write. He has filled me with His Holy Spirit, for which I can’t thank Him enough, and made me a minister of reconciliation – called to help people be reconciled to Him, and from that place, to each other. I am not a paid minister of the gospel at this point – just someone who loves God and wants to follow Him with my whole heart, which means ministering to others.
The Lord made it clear to me during the summer of 2008 that I was to start a blog in which I would include entries from my many journals over the last 20 years. He has taught me in such practical ways throughout all the trials and blessings of my life, and I desire to share these lessons with you, in the hope that they will help you avoid some of the things I went through unnecessarily. If I can’t keep you from those things, I hope the lessons will help you keep pressing on in the Lord as you go through them.
As for standard biographical-type stuff . . . I have been married for 35 years to my college sweetheart. We have two grown sons who are married and have their own homes. I also have the most beautiful grandson in the world. (Since it’s my blog, I can call it as I see it, right?) As you will read from time to time, we also have a wonderful dog named Sandy (a male!), who is a mix of Golden Retriever and Chow.
