About Me

I'm a good Christian woman who love Jesus with all my heart. I live in Arkansas, and no, that does NOT mean I'm dumb and uneducated. I have a master's degree and I'm a retired schoolteacher, having spent 25 years in the business. I taught junior high school English and I write poetry, mainly Christian poetry. (I'll post some here on myspace for you all to read. And yes, I said "you all" not "y'all". See, I'm not a stereotype southerner.)I'm a widow; my husband died of cancer six years ago, and I feel his presence when I pray to my lord God and Jesus. I know he's in Heaven looking down at me and guiding me.I'm the mother of two wonderful young women, Janice and Julia. Janice just got married and is pregnant with my first grandchild! I'm going to be a grandmother! (I'll post photos when the baby comes. Janice and her husband Jim already know it's a boy, even though I strongly encouraged they wait to find out.) Julie is in college working on a degree in English, just like her old mom.Even though bad times have come, I feel blessed that I've had such a wonderful life. God truly blesses us by helping us work through difficult times, and we learn and grow. Now THAT is what I call love!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Jesus, my husband and girls' father again in Heaven.And other Christians of course!
