Surprises & Miracles
I always get extra sentimental at this time of the year. This week is Kali’s birthday. All of our children are special gifts but her birthday always takes me on a trip down memory lane…bear with me if you’ve heard this before. As a child and even as a teen when ever asked what…
The Epilogue….Healing
It has been one week since I wrote the heaviest material I have ever penned. One amazing week. One beautiful week filled with healing that I didn’t even know I needed. One week of take your breath away moments with my husband spent recovering, as it were, from the years of pain that had put…
The Value of Women in the Church

When my parents first married, the doctor told my mother she would not be able to get pregnant. Much to their delight, the doctor was wrong and I was born 1 month after their first anniversary. Two years later my sister Janice was born and then came our only brother, Steven and finally my baby…
Aunt Dini

Single, spunky and very independent, “Dini” as she was dubbed by the older grandchildren is the only sibling of Lowell’s dad and always lavishly spoiled Lowell and his 2 brothers, Merlin & Keith and seemingly decided…
Love and Marriage
I am happily married (most of the time). There are those days when I wonder what in the world I was thinking marrying this thru and thru Iowan who lived in the same house, attended the same church, shopped in the same town and had the same friends his whole entire life. My life on…
