Biographie de l'auteur

I grew up in Southern Missouri in the beautiful Ozark Mountains. My earliest memory, at the age of four, involves the protection of God over myself and my little brother from a copperhead, and I seem to have always had a sense of God’s presence in my life. I accepted the Lord Jesus as my savior when I was five. When I was seven my father became a minister and pastor, so I grew up being involved in every aspect of church life. In my early twenties I met and married the love of my life and we resided around the Hutchinson, Kansas area for more than seventeen years. We brought our three children to Branson, Missouri on vacation and fell so in love with the area that we finally moved there in 1991. I have two delightful grandchildren with whom I enjoy spending as much time as possible. In the spring of 2012 we moved to Ozark, Missouri to be close to them. I also enjoy gardening. My husband and I are in the process of creating a small oasis in our backyard: A waterfall and pond, vegetable garden, and many fragrant flowering bushes and flower beds. My other interests include Bible study and prayer.
