| Introduction | I am Denise Stair Armstrong; born and raised Jamaican. I received all my formal academic education in the land of my birth at St. George’s Primary School, Wolmer’s Highschool for Girls, Shortwood Teachers’ College and the University of the West Indies, specializing in English Language &; Literatures in English. The remainder I’ve gained homeschooling our three wonderful children - Joseph, Charis, and Timothy, parenting them with my husband Claude and in caring for my wheel-chair bound mother. My passion is worship expressed primarily through writing inspirational pieces that urge readers not to miss how much the Lord has crammed earth with heaven. My heart is to encourage them to traverse the gap between all our hearts and the cultures that shape them, via the Bridge that is Calvary’s cross. I also enjoy reading, cooking, gardening, theatre and ballroom dancing with Claude (only!) and digging into the Word of God. |
