I was born seventy three years ago in Owensboro Kentucky - a pretty little city perched along the Ohio River. I am a wife, mother, and grandmother and I have a rich heritage in memories from which to draw. I recently began blogging true stories and incidents that have occurred in my life. I am now writing some stories of pure fiction glazed with truth. My desire is to gratify the reader and glorify my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Lord gifted me with humor and I enjoy passing it along.

In preparation of Easter, I have been reading the passage in Luke 18:31-34 where Jesus reminds his disciples of his coming death, and I think, “can I bear to read this again; it is so hard.” I dread the guilt I feel and pain I experience when reading of the cross; it is torture, agony, [...]

The LORD is near the brokenhearted; He saves those crushed in spirit. Psalms 34.18* It was Sunday morning as I headed up the aisle toward my seat; my husband who always arrives first, was waiting. I settled in and prepared for the rest of my family to appear. You know how it is, pleasantries, and [...]

The title of my new venture (this series) is “Findings.” I thought it would be appropriate to start by mentioning how I arrived at that particular word to use as the series name, it did involve a bit of soul searching. I thought of my life and the paths I have taken; the good influences [...]
