When did you start serving at ABC? 2006

Why are you serving at ABC; what are you passionate about?
I am passionate about God's Ways, I am convinced that writing is an incredible tool that can be used for great good when we use it well. I am also convinced that it is our responsibility to sharpen the tools we have been given while enjoying them with flair and flavor. Creativity is key to living life with abundance for we have been made in the Creator's image . . . and writing with creativity is an arena for many, many people who do not think they are creative. This is why I love helping others see that they can use writing in powerful ways!

A favorite passage of scripture or a favorite saying: Scripture - Ephesians 1:18-19 "I pray that the eyes of your heart..." Saying (from the movie "Finding Forrester") - "Don't think; just WRITE."

Favorite websites, authors or books: C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, Dorothy Sayers, Lilian Jackson Braun, Alexander McCall Smith, Agatha Christie, John Grisham, P.D. James, G.A. Henty, Walter Wangerin...and more!

Personal interests, hobbies or activities: I love working with young folks, encouraging the pursuit of excellence and a love of learning in others, reading just for fun, studying and teaching history, cracking puddles in early spring, hiking near the mountains AND uninterrupted time to write!
