I am an avid lover of books, constant drinker of strong coffee (with lots of sugar and creamer), and passionate follower of Christ.

Married to Scott since 1996 and mother of Casiday since 2000, I am living my own happily ever after ... mostly.
(Casiday had to take this one ... she'll need therapy, I'm sure!)

Writing and teaching women to live empowered, confident lives in Christ and HIS strength is a dream come true for me.

I'm working on my first book in between teaching Bible studies, volunteering at a crisis pregnancy center, helping with homework, and trying to conquer laundry mountain. Oh yeah, I'm a pastor's wife too ... Whew!
(Like all good pastor's families we know what's good at the potluck!)

Learning to blend the sacred with the secular in daily life is my writing style ... from sharing how I study and pray to helping others laugh as they learn to see the spiritual in moldy shower curtains, I hope and pray that others will find the great joy and peace I have found in Jesus Christ.

You can find my musings almost daily here at "Pleasing to You" where my goal is to encourage, challenge and inspire others to pursue lives that are pleasing to God.
