I’m the type of woman who hates putting things off… In fact, I love to have projects on a calendar, things completed early; planning ahead is a lot of fun and victory for me! Yeah! My husband? Yes! I will go there! I can because we’ve been married since September 28, 1979, and being nearly now sixty-eight, it’s safe to say we’re committed! Yeah! I’ve never been the type of gal to say, “You love me, don’t you?”  Whenever I…..

  Duane’s and my style of ministry are very different. I am very confrontative, Duane is very gentle… Case in point: the neighbor hitting our house with snow from his blower.

And we’ve come to terms with our differences we don’t like to have… Selah.   Proverbs 31:10-12 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth…..

  Often Duane will order things for me: movies, books, hennas (to keep my hair red!) I love it! It’s always fun to get stuff delivered to my door!   MEN: this is one way of blessing your wife!       Proverbs 18:15-16 The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it out. A gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.            …..

ONCE UPON A TIME, when I wasn’t thinking, really thinking, I used to believe that maybe this saying was true: “It’s just a piece of paper.” Here I was, single, in my teens and twenties, with absolutely no formal training in the Bible and no church attendance in sight. Whose fault? Mine. Selah. PLEASE NOTE: You are reading from an author who is a Christian, taking total responsibility for my own errors and deliberate sins back then and now. I’d…..
