It's my family!!

The following is a "Mother's Right." Promise I will get on to other things. I did warn you these kids are my pride and joy.

Sharon- she is so busy, doing all sort of things, always in one class or another, travels about. She has a beautiful Salon and Spa (Glamour To You, 7008 W. 127th St. Palos Heights, IL, (708) 448-8998)... free plug for Sharon. Mothers are like this. If you live here this is the place to be pampered. They really know how!!

Bill has 2 great kids and the most wonderful garage and family-fun room around. It is a real bachelor's place: pool table, darts, hot tub, refrigerator, work bench, 2 pinball machines, fireplace, a slot machine, some Japanese games. It's the Fun Place to go. He is a certified journeymen, maintenance.

David and Dolly have 3 kids. Dolly can cook or decorate Anything!! They give the best dinners!! Dave has a man-cave in the basement for his tools and projects. He just finished a shed in the backyard, built a train and gym set for the kids. David has his Master's in Business.

Julie and Rob have 3 grown kids, all in college, and the world's best dog. No one, absolutely no one, makes a better breakfast than Rob; it's to die for!! Julie will earn her Master's Degree in Education this Dec.

That's it for an update on the kids. Yeah, bragging rights. Rejoice with me that the Lord has been gracious to me. They all know Jesus too. I would hope to write every Monday. I have some good things to share with you. Drop me a line too.

Introduction

I have just returned from a 9 year mission stay in Honduras, Central America. I loved it there. I was with Mision Caribe, an independent church planting mission, and with World Gospel Outreach, a medical mission.

I am a registered nurse and a licensed Minister of the Gospel. I have many stories to share with you. Missions have been good to me.

Before going to missions, I was the founding director of a ministry to Single Again Adults. I'll tell you about that too. I wrote a book, "Towards A Brighter Horizon." You'll get that information too.

Best of all I have four grown children, the love of my life. I am blessed by having children who love and care for me and each other. I'll share with you some funny things about them too. They are a joy!!

What else? I write, teach, and preach some, so I will put some of that on my blog too. Any of the aforementioned topics.

Now? Well, now I am a part of Life Church of Chicagoland through the Church of God in Cleveland, TN where I have been appointed Director of Missions. I have many, many plans for their mission ministry, including trips to Chicago, Native American reservations, foreign countries, etc. One day at a time these things will come to pass. As the Lord directs we shall progress.

I learned to close all my work in Honduras with the phrase "A Dios Sea La Gloria," or "To God Be The Glory." I'll be writing another day.
