I live in colorful Colorado with my hubby and two dogs, Gracie and Molly. I have four children and 5 grandchildren, with number six due in October. My husband and I are active in Kairos (prison ministry), Walk to Emmaus (weekend retreat for those searching for a closer relationship with Jesus), and Chrysalis (weekend for teens searching for a closer relationship with Jesus). We love camping, fishing, water skiing, snow skiing, and the arts. I have tried to learn the game of golf but, after three instructors and numerous lessons, I've retired my clubs. My passion is gardening and I can't help but be inspired by the beauty that surrounds me while being outdoors. The sights, smells, and sweet caresses of the air remind me that we live in God's loving presence 24/7.
