I grew up in Oregon but have lived in a variety of states due to my 28 year career with the Forest Service. My home church is Nextstep Fellowship where I provide Prayer Ministry to my church and churches in the Pacific Northwest. There are 2 daughters and 5 grandchildren who keep me young and I enjoy immensely. I live by a quote from Erma Bombeck " When I stand before God at the end of my life on Earth, I would hope to not have a single bit of talent left and could say I used everything you gave me."
