At the intersection of God's Grace & life's grit: where CHANGE happens!
This is an interview of a pastor in our fellowship of churches (we call it a presbytery). The church is a Gospel-preaching, Gospel-believing church. He was a “successful” pastor…until GOD started working in his family through depression, abuse of pain-killers, and…well, listen to their story of GOD’s amazing grace! I’m joining Legacy Leavers [...]
These weeks seem to fly by! It is already Friday again. I can’t believe it. Not only is it Five Minute Friday but it is also our 44th wedding anniversary. I can’t believe it! The time has flown. Well, back to Five Minute Friday rules. Write for 5 minutes and don’t look back. Well, if [...]

I have been married to Ron for 44+years. He retired for the second time from the pastorate four years ago and in January 2013 will be part-time on a pastoral staff again. He is my dearest friend and the one who has helped me laugh for years!
With age, the grace of God has become very meaningful: that He demonstrated it to me, particularly on the cross when He paid the blood sacrifice required for my sin. And that He enables me to pass that grace on to others as I learn to forgive.
Join me as I share how the invasion of God's grace into the everyday grittiness of my life is transforming the drudgery, grit and sometimes even downright crap into something beautiful for His glory and delight!
