Welcome! I'm a writer at heart. I can't not-write. If I'm not in front of a keyboard I'm scribbling on note pads or the backs of grocery receipts. Writing brings me great pleasure. Olympiad Eric Liddell is attributed with saying, "When I run I feel God's pleasure." I can say the same thing: "When I write I feel God's pleasure." But I'm not just a writer; I am other things to other people. On the outside I am a wife and a mother. I am a grandmother ("MeMe") and a teacher. I'm also a sister, a daughter, a neighbor, a cousin, an aunt, a friend, a volunteer, an amateur gardener, and a blogger. Deep inside the well of me I am a Christian. That means that I have a personal and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, the Son of God. It means that at a specific time, in a specific place I repented of my sinfulness and asked Christ Jesus to come into my life. I remember how I stumbled through some words like, "Jesus, come into my heart, please. Forgive my sins and take control of my life. Be the Lord of my life." And He did. What a humongous difference that moment has made in who I am becoming. I sincerely hope that the Jesus inside me bleeds through to the outside of me; that the Christ within me shines through every cracked and broken part of my life and every aspect of who I am. That Jesus shines through the writer, the mother, the friend … the whole kit-and-caboodle. Thank you for stopping by. I hope you'll find useful and encouraging information here and that you'll not only drop in often but also share this site with others. Grace and Peace, Jean Philippians 3:10 (Amplified Version) "My determined purpose is that I may know Him – that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly. And that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection which it exerts over believers: and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed in spirit into His likeness even to His death."
