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

Crossville, Tennessee, United States
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

Hope everyone is having a good start to your week. We had a great day yesterday. There were 76, and 84 in Church. There were 3 first time adult visitors. Our children's classes are starting to build back up and we are happy about that.

Several people from our church have been going to the little village of La Travesia every Saturday. Last week there were 60 present and they were waiting for the group to arrive. It is such a blessing to see how the people from our church are growing and stepping out to serve.

Thank you for your prayers for our daughter Mandie. She is still on bedrest and at present that seems to be "indefinite". I know that she and Mike really appreciate your prayers for them and the baby, as do Tony and I.

This week we have a full house. Ashley is still here along with her boyfriend. They will both be returning to the states this week-end. Our youngest daughter Lexi arrived on Friday night and we are very happy to have her visiting for about 6 weeks. Then today, Matthew Blanton, who is like a nephew to us, came in for a few days. We became really close friends with the Blantons our first year in Ecuador and have remained very close over the years. They returned to minister in the US about 7 years ago. It is a blessing to have Matthew visiting for a few days.

I pray that you have a great week serving the Lord!
