About

When you visit my home you’ll learn rather quickly things I enjoy: books, Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, lighthouses and ships, Peanuts, Legos, Washington (DC), the Outer Banks, music, Impressionists, and photography.  Oh, and Christmas (I have been told my Christmas tree is worthy of the National Gallery of Art)! I also enjoy cooking, especially French and German food. Above all these, I enjoy a quiet evening with a few friends, or even just one: playing Scrabble, Euchre, or Quiddler; sharing life stories, reading out loud, or singing--more often than not, with tea and something tasty from the kitchen involved. To quote Tolkien, “I am, after all, a hobbit.”

I feel God has gifted me with skills, abilities, and talents which I am to use in Kingdom service. Organising things seems to come rather naturally (first-born and INFJ).  I sing and can’t imagine using my voice for any purpose other than honouring God. Mentoring and discipleship have been a significant part of my journey. Having been at GCC since April of 2003, it is through these gifts I have served the Body and the community.  I love seeing and hearing GCC singing, reading Scripture, and sharing praises together every Sunday!

With that said, it probably won’t surprise you that Proverbs 27:17, Colossians 3:16, and Romans 12 (the whole chapter) are among my favourite verses.  I read through Philippians, Colossians, and John 17 often. And the Psalms. Each morning I read a selection from New Morning Mercies by Paul David Tripp. I just recently finished up my reading of the Lexham English Bible, and I have started reading the Holman Christian Study Bible. I am currently reading R. C. Sproul: A Life and Connecting: The Mentoring Relationships You Need to Succeed in Life.
