I'm a 30-something mommy of an 18 month old little boy, married to wonderful man I adore and cherish. I previously held the title of news editor, production editor and managing editor of some pretty important media publications in the 80's....of course that was in high school. I was an English major in college, a legal secretary, a truck driver, a data entry clerk, an independent sales consultant and small business owner, a secretary and advocate for nurses, and now a stay at home wife and mommy. You name it, I've done it. The wife and mommy part are the best and most important jobs I've ever had and I love it.

I also stay involved in the arts program at my church. I sing with the worship team (like to sing for other occasions too). I've also volunteered with nursery age, elementary school aged and teenagers and traveled on mission trips with them. Children teach us so much. I am a woman of God and thankful for this life I've been given - with all the good and bad. Life is a great adventure.

My passion is ...

watching my son discover the world and encouraging my husband.

I know too much about ...

the world of healthcare.

My parents always told me ...

to be careful.

My childhood ambition ...

to be a superhero, private detective, save the day kind of person.

My favorite memory ...

my first dance with my husband at our wedding - that supercedes all the previous favorites.

Why I write ...

because my heart longs to speak.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

reading the bible in a year, watching LOST and Veggie Tales, listening to all the music I can on the web.

My first job ...

was volunteering as a candy striper at the local hospital.

My best moment ...

the quiet moment of peace immediately after childbirth with my husband at my side, and our newborn swaddled like a burrito in my arms.

My inspiration ...

Jesus Christ, my husband and my son

Religion & Spirituality > Religious Speculations & Criticisms Pushing your religion on others

When I say I'm a Christian, does that turn you away? Do you see me as someone who pushes their beliefs on you and makes you feel uncomfortable? Do you even see me? Or do you see the TV evangelists that stole all your money? Maybe you see a pastor that preached you would burn, or a Christian friend who betrayed you. Am I Catholic or Protestant, Baptist or Nazarene, First Church of this and Reformed Church of that? Do you think that I wear jeans or do I have to wear a skirt? Do they let me dance, or am I free to express myself? Maybe when I say that I'm a Christian all you see is a me...
