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!

My hope is you’ll find inspiration, encouragement, truth, and even a bit of humor in my words penned in this blog!

God’s Paintbrush
Announcing! I'm a member of a prestigious group - Weather Wimps of America. Next summer I'll wave the white flag of surrender when triple digits hit but recently my flag was waving in response to snow drifts, sub-zero temps, crazy wind chills, and black ice. So...join...
