Walking, Reading, Spending time with my family, hanging out with kids.
I
now have the privilege of working with the whole family helping both
adults and children grow in their relationship with God and connect to
the Body of Christ. Planting seeds of faith and helping them grow
in fertile, healthy soil is, to me, the goal and blessing of Family
Life Ministry. (Matthew 13:1-23)
Grew
up Catholic including 12 years of Catholic schools. My Senior
High religion teacher and dear friend, Sr. Lea, always told me I’d make
a great nun much to the teasing of most of my friends. I guess
maybe she wasn’t too far off (except for the husband and children part
of the deal).
