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!

Counting down....or maybe I'm counting up! In either case, it's day 17 of my Christmas Creche Countdown for 2020! This has been a fun 'exercise' as I've spent time remembering, observing, and writing about each one of my nativities. I have several. Has anyone counted...
Day 16: Christmas Creche Countdown!
