God’s Extraordinary Character Discovered In Ordinary Moments...
In God's Word, In His World & At Home.
Welcome! I'm glad you're here!
I live and love on Selah Farm -- a hobby homestead nestled in the beautiful mountains of western NC. With Bill, my husband of 35 years, and our three "born-in-our-hearts" children and several grandchildren, we raise a variety of animals. I love books, movies and music that make me cry.
I ask daily to have eyes and ears wide open that I might experience the wonders of God's Word and His created world.
Taking Spirit-breathed ideas and framing them with words is my passion.
Living Jesus is my highest aim.
