I am here for Friends

About Me

..I am TOTALLY IN LOVE with JESUS!!! I love sharing His Love, His plan for Salvation through Grace alone, reading and studying the Bible, helping troubled youth, reading Christian books, listening to contemporary Christian music, and of course I deeply love my husband, children, other family members, and friends. God is good all the time!!! He promises a safe landing... not a calm passage.

My Interests

For what will a man gain if he gains the things of this world and loses his soul in hell? The Will of God never takes you to where the Grace of God will not protect you.

Music:


.. .. ..I love good Christian music, mostly contemporary but also other stuff. My boys listen to a lot of Christian rap so I'm learning to like some of that... Some of my favorite artists are: Mercy Me, Chris Tomlin, Chris Rice, Jackie Velasquez, Geoff Moore, Casting Crowns, Reliant K, Darlene Z, and many more! Chonda Pierce is also a favorite of mine! She has recorded some awesome Christian music in addition to being a really great Christian Comedian!!!

Books:

My two favorite authors are Karen Kingsbury and Terri Blackstock. Both are excellent writers and write about true-to-life situations in a realistic way. Situations that many Christians find ourselves struggling with. (Afterall, being a Christian doesn't make us perfect, now does it!) Check out: http://www.TerriBlackstock.com
