I am an avid follower of Jesus, who became determined to overcome fear later in life. In my late 40's I made a decision to leave desert wandering behind and set out to pursue the abundant life Jesus promised His disciples. I am a tentmaker by day to make a living. Beyond my job, I pursue my passion - walking hand in hand with women to meet Jesus and develop an intimate relationship with Him. I am married to my love of 30 years. Together we have two seeds - grown young men on their own journeys. Additionally we share our home with 3 lively rescue pups. I look forward to sharing this space with you...

By the third day, our beach observations had made an amusing connection. We looked out onto the water at the mass of surfers quite numerous divided into several “small groups” with an occasional loner off to one side or the other. My man and I laughed as we identified ourselves according to social surfers and the loners. … More Community is a Gift

Remembering

September 11, 2019

The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. Proverbs 18:10 NIV ~~~~~~~~ 9/11/01 I remember the day, the weather and where I was located when I felt the tingle up my spine.

Open Door Prayers

August 20, 2019

For a number of years now my husband and I have found ourselves detoured from our planned life course. We, like most people who set out on a journey, had a destination in mind, made plans, and got moving. No one anticipates the storms and pitfalls which have a way of taking us off course. … More Open Door Prayers
