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.

It's October!!!!

Good Morning! I know some of you that faithfully check my blog, are probably wondering what has happened to me! :-) I'm still here. Have been recuperating at my Mom and Dad's in Crossville, TN.

Tony has started school with Teddy. He is now in 2nd grade! It is hard to believe how fast he is growing up. A week ago they went to a "Corn Maze" for a field trip and yesterday we went to an Apple Orchard in Pikeville, TN.

Tony's Mimi went to be with the Lord last Wednesday. We are so thankful that she went peacefully and without pain. God is so good! We are also grateful that Tony was able to make the trip out to Kansas to be with family and participate in her funeral.

My recovery continues to go well. This Wednesday will mark 3 weeks. Everyday is better and I am thankful to the Lord for that.

We are looking forward to having a visit from my Father-in-law this week, and then on the week-end, Mandie, Mike, Ioan and Saranna are planning to come down to see us!

While out in Kansas Tony and his Mom were able to make the trip to Springfield, Sunday to be in the church service there Sunday evening for baby dedication. It was a huge surprise to Ashley! She had no idea they were going to be there, until they walked in, during the first song and sat down by them! :-)

Thank you for your continued prayers for the work in Manta. We are hearing good reports! The attendance has been over 100 for the Sunday services, and they are continuing to work on finishing out the first floor of the Sunday School building. The Ladies are working on organizing the special Ladies Day we will have in December.

Right now our plans are to return to Ecuador the 2nd of November. Thank you for your prayers for me during my recovery.

God bless you as you serve him this week!
