Welcome

I would love to invite you into my home to have a cup of tea with me. We could sit in my sunny kitchen and talk about all the things that are going on in our lives. I could share with you the news I hear from my grown daughters. How my grandkids are growing. We could laugh together over the funny things that they have said. It would be fun to share the ins and outs of our family life, and talk about our latest creative projects. We could share what God has been teaching us, in our personal lives, and encourage each other on this walk of faith. We could pray together, laugh together, and even cry together. Since most of us will never be able to sit down together face to face, I would like to invite you to join me here. So come on in and have a cup of tea with me.

About Me

I am a 61 year old, wife, married to my best friend for 40 years. We have been blessed with 6 children, & 13 grandchildren. I love mentoring women in their spritual walk & in the everyday. I have a diverse background, having spent over 30 years living and ministering in a small South American country. Now my family resides in a small town in the lovely state of Tennessee. We have experienced the blessing of adoption, but also the hard of dealing with a child with RAD and other mental health issues. You can live life with the cup half full or half empty the choice is yours. I choose half full.

Update

Hello everyone! Hope you are each having a great week. We had a good service Sunday. The attendance was down alittle from the week before. We had 78 in church.

Sunday afternoon we had our first Wedding shower. It went really well. We had 33 ladies attend! Everyone had a great time. I was so excited to see how generous everyone was. The only negative was that the bride was an hour late! Of course here that was not as big a faux pas as it would have been in the US, but of course to me, it seemed rude in the extreme! I even had a few ladies make comments about it. It was certianly a relief when she did show up! I had played all the games that I had planned and was just trying to decide what to do next! :-) Oh well, never a dull moment! I told Tony the next time, I am going to take the "guest of honor" with me for the afternoon, to be sure she gets there on time! :-)

We went to Guayaquil yesterday to pick up Ashley's boyfriend, Shane. He will be visiting us for a couple weeks, and then Ashley will be flying back to the US with him. That will leave a huge hole in our life. We have certianly enjoyed having her home these last months.
