I have been writing ever since I can remember. For several years I wrote an advice column for a family-oriented magazine, which advertised it as "a combination of Dr. Dobson and Ann Landers" which was a thrilling compliment to me! Caring for people/families is my passion when it comes to ministry! I've taught children's and adult Bible studies, often writing the curriculum for them. I've been Assistant Director of Women's Ministries, Stephen Ministry Leader and Facilitator, as well as participating in Prayer Partnering. I love to write and have written devotionals, poetry, Bible studies, book reviews for a local newspaper, feature articles in a local magazine, and several apologetics for our church. I helped put together an Advent Devotional for our church in 2006, and wrote several of the devotions that were included. I've edited, done layout, and written for newsletters, as well as writing and layout for programs for events and ministry areas within the church. I am working on several ideas for articles, as well as fleshing out some details and research for several ideas I have for Christian fiction. I am a degreed Family Life Educator (FLE). I LOVE learning and would be a career university student if I could afford it. My husband has still NOT figured out what forces his crazy wife to NEED to write or to LOVE education. We have three grown children and three wonderful grandchildren. We live in a neat little house out in the country in mid-Michigan.
