About me

Gender	Female
Industry	Non-Profit
Occupation	Direct Non-Profit, Speak and Teach, Come before Winter, Inc.
Location	Austin, TX, United States
Introduction	I guess I grew up between Arlington and Albuquerque; life was a journey. I changed schools 22 times in 12 years. If kindergarten existed, either my parents didn’t know it, we couldn't afford it, or we were moving the month it started so I just skipped it. My dad was NOT military; I never met a military kid who moved as often. Dad was a gifted man of admittedly questionable principles, looking for greener pasture. So we moved, and he tried it all. As a senior, the family moved to Lometa, TX. There I won the prize of this life, Barry, who has loved me with a passion and commitment I never dreamed existed. He remains the best decision I ever made, a gift I never deserved, and the love of my life. We have three sons, two daughters-in-love, and four delightfully amazing grandchildren. I direct a non-profit dedicated to renewing, equipping, honoring and uniting women in ministry around the world: Come before Winter, Inc. I have a degree in journalism from UTexas and a masters in biblical studies from Abilene Christian. I love the Lord and trust him to transform me day-by-day into the image of His Son. The journey continues. I am forever blessed and renewed.
Interests	Travel, writing, reading, thinking, playing (or doing ANYTHING, with my grandchildren, being with my family.
Favorite Movies	When Harry Met Sally, The Mission, Goonies, The Princess Bride, Pillow Talk, (and I have trouble remembering them all). I like movies.
Favorite Music	Jazz, Soft(er) Rock
Favorite Books	Gordon Fee, Luke Timothy Johnson, Marva Dawn, Dallas Willard. Also like fiction: especially Maeve Binchy; also John Grisham, the early "Scarpetto" books, even (when I can)Janet Evanovich's number books. The woman has a great sense of humor and creates crazy, unforgettable characters.
