Tell us a bit about
yourself.
I am an ordinary woman who has
experienced an extraordinary God. I work with my
husband, Larry, at Lighthouse Ministries, a non-profit ministry we founded in
1991. I worked as a Christian counselor for 24 years. Before that, I served on
the High School staff of CRU (Campus Crusade for Christ) from Boston
to Southern California with stops in Indiana and Oklahoma. I enjoy teaching the
Bible and helping people see how faith applies to everyday life. I seek to
refresh people’s faith through my weekly blog for our ministry. My husband and
I live in North Carolina with our two standard poodles who inspire some of my
writing! Our two grown children are our best friends.
