About

My passion for teaching began when I was a young woman in my early 20's. A vacancy for a Sunday School teacher opened up at the church I was attending and I was asked to fill it. I didn't hesitate to say yes. This was something I wanted to do and somehow I "knew" it was a good fit for me. I began teaching the Bible to children. I found their joy and eagerness to learn touched my heart and the experience was very rewarding.

Over the years, opportunities arose for me to teach adults -- not only in classes at church, but I was regularly asked by supervisors to train new employees on the jobs I worked. I began to realize teaching came naturally to me because it was a gift from God.

I am the eldest of three siblings, born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. My parents worked hard to make sure we all received an excellent education in both private and public schools. I spent most of my working life in healthcare as an administrative assistant in private physician offices and hospitals.

At age nine, I received Jesus Christ into my heart and my walk as a Christian began. As a young woman facing lots of troubles and difficulties, my search for relief and comfort led me to read the Bible. I knew I belonged to the Lord, but I had spent little time actually reading His word for myself. As I began to commit time to reading the Word, I was changed. I was catapulted onto a path from which there was no turning back!

My life's journey includes living in Georgia and California, as well as Ohio. In each of these places I joined local churches, continued teaching, and became part of leadership teams.

My love for the Lord intensified! However, I began to observe issues in churches that were rooted in belief systems and philosophies that were contrary to the Word of God. I struggled through and found there were certain beliefs and practices that were no longer tolerable and in which I could no longer participate.

In my book, Clean Water: My Search for Truth and Accountability in the Church, I share my life story and include many of the high points and heartbreaking experiences in my search for Truth in the Church. I candidly share how I was affected and the resolutions I came to as a result. With hindsight being 20/20, I share my role in the unhealthy situations in which I found myself.

I believe there is hope for the current state of the Church! We must let go of tradition and the systems that hinder and constrict the free flow of the Holy Spirit. Join me as you read and contemplate what I share in my book and other writings as we move forward into what the Lord wants for His Church.
