Are you afraid of death? I was too. Check out the latest blog to learn about how to overcome the fear of death and how to get through the "death days." Follow the link in the profile. #bravestronggirl #death #life #fear #faith #overcome

Mark and I just spent several days in Colorado, celebrating my 10 year anniversary as a survivor and our 36 years of marriage. We fly fished, white water rafted, hiked (or tried to hike) read, took 4 hour naps and slept in almost every morning. This evening we drove the Rocky Mountain National Park highway (this pic shows the extent he will go to in order to spot an animal in the wild) While driving we saw big horn sheep, elk, mule deer, a bear, chipmunks, picas, marmites, and ravines. During the week Mark managed to catch 4 kinds of trout and we saw a moose and an eagle. James and @ashleyzieeegler came up for a few days and helped shared the fun. They helped me finish a huge puzzle. While we were at it - Mark and I whipped them in spades. The whole vacation was perfect. Thanks to the friends who made this possible. You know who you are. We feel loved - rested and restored. Sigh - time to come home. #herewego

Today marks 36 years since we said “I do.” As I reflect over the past 40 years of my life - Mark is in every memory. He’s been there on the good days and the not so good days. I have countless memories of him with our kids (and dogs) that warm my heart. His steadfastness comforts me in times of trial. His faith holds me in a constant awareness of God’s love and grace toward us. I thank God for all his characteristics and gifts - even those I tried to change or eliminate. My man is not easily fooled. Rather he is wise and deliberate. He loves animals (watch out ladies - this is a good sign he will love his kids well too) worries about children who don’t have enough to eat and enjoys the outdoors - the sanctuary of his life. I am grateful he wandered into my life at 17 and turned his attention toward me. Who knew the beautiful family we would build or the Godly influence he would be to so many. He was recently called an architect, a strategist and a giant of faith at our presbytery service. I agree. Happy anniversary Mark. I still choose you. #happyanniversary

Mark and I visited the Kimball Museum on Sunday afternoon to see the Monet exhibit. It was so beautiful. Although I don’t know much about art - i loved the use of the beautiful blues, purples, greens and pops of yellow. The paintings just draw you into a relaxed and reflective frame of mind. #worththetrip #worththeticket #artisticgifts

Today Mark and I were blessed by our family and friends with prophetic words of encouragement at @gatewaysouthlake We were deeply blessed. Pondering all the words and giving thanks for what is yet to be. Thank you @papajobe for your love and support. Thank you @jimmywitcher @stephaniehenderson1 and @larry.stockstill for using your gifts to build up the body of Christ. #presbytery #prophecy #encouragement
