My Dream
I’ve wanted to tell others about Jesus since grade school. An introvert from the start, l wanted to write. So I worked my way through college, studying journalism and literature. With few jobs in Christian publishing in Sioux Falls and later Omaha, I worked in public relations, advertising, and commercial writing and editing.
I also had four books published, which sold 130,000 copies. Thomas Nelson’s gift imprint published Snapshots of Heaven, You Go Graduate, and A Little Book of Thanks for Mom. Snapshots of Heaven was reprinted by Hallmark. You Go, Graduate made the Christian Booksellers Association’s bestseller list. Another book, Courageous Christians (Moody Publishers) has available for over 20 years.
My Loves
In 1978, I met a brilliant, handsome young man in a church Bible study. Convinced he was a gift from the Lord, I married him a year later in a small chapel, wearing a homemade dress.
In time, we were blessed with two adorable sons who grew into remarkable, caring adults.
Because marriage and parenthood are such beautiful pictures of our relationship with the Lord, I often write about what both have taught me about my eternal Husband and heavenly Father.
My Journey
In 2008, our world crashed when my strong, athletic husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. Three years later, he left our home for a perfect one.
Since losing my prince, I’ve gained a loving daughter-in-law and a precious little grandson. Recently retired, I’m praying the Lord will help me make the rest of my life count. I want to love Jesus madly, live with holy recklessness, and encourage others to join me in a joy-filled adventure and romance with Jesus.
