About Me


    I'm a wife and mom of two teenager sons and a daughter who is already grown and married. I have a huge fondness for sitting near the shore where I can hear the water and the waves. I love to wander off in search of a waterfall, or the beauty of the woods or being among nature any opportunity that I can. Being blessed with living in Michigan where all four seasons arrive in splendor, I enjoy them all, but by far my favorites are autum and the winter (when we have a decent amount of snow). My husband blessed me with a camera that I love to use to try and capture just a bit of the wonder in God's world so that we can enjoy the moment long after we have gone back home. I also feel that music is a priceless gift that God has given to us all and I'm one to always have something playing or singing along to throughout the day.

I'm fine with friend requests, but PLEASE send me a message too and let me know who you are and how we know each other. ~ Thanks!

    Look at that sea, girls--all silver and shadow and vision of things not seen. We couldn't enjoy its loveliness any more if we had millions of dollars and ropes of diamonds.
    -- Lucy Maud Montgomery author of Anne of Green Gables (1874-1942)

    -- Corrie Ten Boom (1892-1983)
    Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.
    -- Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)
    For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Music:


There is WAY too much great Christian Music that I enjoy to even try to list them all here. Probably one of the best ways to see who's music I enjoy is to glance through my "Friends" list on the right (and even a few of the artists that my teenage sons enjoy) Keeping in mind of course that not all the artists that I enjoy have a MySpace just yet, but of course you can always just check out other places that I hang out online...
