How I met my husband: Was the Bible Study Teacher at a Bible Study I was invited to by a friend.
Nobody knows that: I am terrified of the dark. (until not many years ago) I still won’t go to sleep until my closet doors are shut.
Education: Still working on it. High School and one year at Christian College.
How I became a Christian? In a small Sunday School classroom in the church basement as a little girl of 4 or 5 years old. Miss Borgens asked me if I wanted to ask Jesus to live in my heart and I said “Yes!” Thank you Jesus for Sunday School Teachers that ask really big questions!
The best thing about being a Christian? God is always there. Day or night just a whisper away.

How I spend my days off: Canoeing, hiking, shopping, walking down the toy isle at any department store, reading and occasionally golfing.
My funniest experience: I was learning to drive in the big city and being from a rural community I’d not really seen “one way” signs. I thought I had to turn every time I saw the sign, so after circling the block a time or two my Dad told me the facts.
Personal project I can't wait to finish: Painting my jelly cabinet, one panel down, two to go: going on nine years.

A time when I felt very close to God: After a head injury, I literally knew the prayers of the people were carrying me through. I could rest in knowing that God was in control even in the tough days.
