When I was a little, I wasn't like most little girls.  I never dreamed of growing up and meeting my prince and living happily ever after.  I was easily content with my books and flying kites and eating rhubarb on summer afternoons. 

Then my Air Force dad went to Vietnam and during that year things changed.  For the first time in my life I learned that life was not all about paper dolls and Maria singing in the Sound of Music. I learned about loneliness and how much it hurt to see other people hurt.

It was also the year I turned fourteen and the year I became the writer, publisher and delivery girl for my own somewhat naive family newspaper.  It was in those often silly and non-sensible stories that God began to reveal Himself to me.

Over the next thirty-odd years, through my three-year Army stint, marriage to my prince charming, school books and work days, God sent me through a journey into empty deserts, across the darkness and up to the mountains so that the simple vision of a pony-tailed little girl could eventually be used for His purpose.

Today, those stories and the formidable lessons learned of hope in the face of despair, courage over fear, truth from within and God Above All form the foundation of my ministry, teaching and writing.

Married for 28 years to my knight-in-shining armor husband, Joe, an artist and art restorer (www.artrestoration.biz), we live in Pace, Florida, a small but delightful community just a little north of the "seat of Naval Aviation" in Pensacola, Florida.  We invite you visit our beautiful white-sand beaches and enjoy a little of our southern hospitality!

We are also the very proud parents of Lillie Millie, our precocious little beagle-mix "dogter" and grandparents to the world's most incredible grandchildren -- two sets (yes, two sets) of twins, four-year-old Gia and Dante and almost one-year-old Lulu and Luca.

When I was young, someone asked me what I wanted to do when I grew up.  For most of my life, maybe like you, I didn't know how to answer that question.  Today, that answer is simple.

I want more of Christ in my life.

I want to talk about Jesus every moment I live.

I want to learn everything I can about God.

I want others to see God and love Him.

I want to speak to my Father and have Him speak through me to others.

But more than anything, I want Christ alive and living in all Women!

So, in His love, and with ferocious passion, truth, imagination and humor, I dare to be a dangerous woman for Christ and I invite you to join me on this Great & Daring Adventure!
