About a year after our wedding, my husband, Bob, and I escaped Southern California and moved to a small community in Northern California named Bangor. There we started attending a Village Missions church (The missionary arm of Stonecroft Ministries). It was there, also, I learned about God and came to realize the Bible was pertinent for today's living. So, I prayed and asked Jesus into my life, and he accepted! Bob was converted that same week.
We were both excited about our new life, so nine months later we sold everything and moved to Binghamton, New York and began our studies at Practical Bible Training School in Binghamton, New York (now Davis College).
Bob graduated with a Bible degree and I was able to obtain a Christian Education About a year after our wedding, my husband, Bob, and I escaped Southern California and moved to a small community in Northern California named Bangor. There we started attending a Village Missions church (The missionary arm of Stonecroft Ministries). It was there, also, I learned about God and came to realize the Bible was pertinent for today's living. So, I prayed and asked Jesus into my life, and he accepted! Bob was converted that same week.
We were both excited about our new life, so nine months later we sold everything and moved to Binghamton, New York and began our studies at Practical Bible Training School in Binghamton, New York (now Davis College).
Bob graduated with a Bible degree and I was able to obtain a Christian Education diploma from The Evangelical Teacher Training Association.
We then applied, and were accepted, to serve in Borneo, Indonesia, under Regions Beyond Missionary Union. We spent almost two years on deputation and then three years on the missionary field. We returned home to California for Bob to have a second back operation and for me to deliver our fourth child.
Bob was a youth pastor for two years and then went into business. During this time I was active working with children in such organizations as Released Time Christian Education, Child Evangelism Fellowship, and the local church.
For over ten years I was involved in Christian Women's Clubs as a board member, chairman, area representative, Bible study coordinator, and speaker.
Since my husband’s retirement we have spent our time traveling, enjoying our new home in Humboldt County, and visiting our kids and twelve grand kids.
Shortly before my husband's retirement, I decided to pursue a lifelong desire to be a writer. I have attended the Mount Hermon Christian Writers' Conference quite a few times and have also attended the Oregon Christian Writers Conference for some years and have been at several of their one-day conferences. I have also attended seminars and conferences hosted by the Santa Clara County Writers Association and one for travel writers.
I was also the editor for our church newsletter in Ocean Park WA and started a writers group for that publication.
Currently I am working on various articles, another devotional book, and book two of Grandma’s Grandkids Adventure books.
There is no way to put into words the help I have received from attending conferences and classes. Taking writing classes has given me the ability to hone my writing skills while I have enjoyed making new friends who are writers and editors.
I am still a speaker for Stonecroft Ministries as well as accepting other speaking invitations as they come up.
I am looking forward to whatever the Lord has for me as I look to him for guidance and direction!

.....and then he prayed.....

Jesus did a whole lot of teaching in John 14, 15, and 16. He said a lot of deep things and clear instructions.

And then he prayed for them... John 17.

But before he prayed, he said this to them, " I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be co Read more of this blog post »
