I’m a follower of Jesus Christ, a choreographer of dancing words, a challenger of the status quo, an admirer of all things colorful, and a lover of life who finds great comfort and joy in knowing I’m completely adequate to do whatever it is God calls me to do! I’m a wife to one, mom to two, grandma to five, and I live in the middle of the United States of America with my husband, and a cat named Mufasa who believes he owns our home!
My hope is you’ll find inspiration, encouragement, truth, and even a bit of humor in my words penned in this blog!

Is There Anything Too Hard for God?
Vietnam was once an ugly, never-to-be-forgotten war zone where young Americans died at a much-too-rapid pace. Soldiers trudged through steamy jungles where ugliness was up close and personal, while a different kind of torture plagued their friends and families back...
