After God, family is my heart.  I am so thankful for His blessings in this area.  My wonderful husband Rodney and I will celebrate our 39th anniversary in September.  We have four amazing children and seven equally amazing grandchildren. What a privilege and joy it has been to parent my children, and what pure joy it is to spend time with my grandchildren.

Like everyone, we have faced and continue to confront challenges as a family. Life can be incredibly hard at times. But, with God’s help, we try our best to gain wisdom from the challenges, learn from our mistakes, and forgiven those who may hurt us along the way.  God has a lot to teach us in that area as well.
