Hi and welcome to my blog! I'm so excited you somehow made your way over here, and I pray that you will find something here that will make you want to keep coming back. I'm a "young" 50 something passionate follower of Jesus Christ. I love my life as a pastor's wife, mama, nana, Bible teacher and mentor. My husband and I have three beautiful daughters, two great sons-in law and four of the most wonderful grandbabies in the whole world. Together, we pastor a great church in the Portland/Vancouver area. I am passionate about home and family. Being a mama and nana is the best. I love the beach. I would take a beach cottage over a mansion anytime. If I can’t be by the beach, then find me a lake, a river, or water of some sort. (and yet to add confusion to the mix, I love vacationing in the sunny desert area of Palm Springs!) I have a quirky personality. I am creative. I am analytical. I am methodical. I am deep and contemplative...but, I have a bizarre sense of humor. I am a people person, who needs wide margins of peace, quiet and alone time. I am silly. I love to sing. I love to whistle. I love to write. I love to read. I love photography, which I am fairly new at. I just started to try my hand at painting. I love to play around with home...
