My husband, Hilbert, and I will soon celebrate our 49th wedding anniversary. We have three daughters, nine grandchildren, and our GREATgrands will number 13 soon. My birthplace was Sandyville, WV, but we live in my husband's hometown of Woodsfield, OH. He is fully retired. I do seasonal tax preparation work from my home office. Secretarial training was learned at Parkersburg High School and that vocation has continued. My educational background is totally of Life Experience with some vocational and college-specific courses added. Spiritual Background It is with gratitude that I appreciate my parents were Christians. My baptism was at age 16 on Dec. 21, 1952. My husband is a Christian. There have been many influential Christians throughout my life. My mother-in-law was an encourager to me. I have taught children's Bible classes and help with VBS. Now that semi-retirement has come, I have more time for study, sharing, and encouraging. This verse sums up my resting place throughout life: Philippians
4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Favorite Verses There are several: Psalms 91:4 "He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust." John 20:31 "..these are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God, and that believing, ye might have life through His name." His Word is our roadmap, not man's ideas. Why I Am a WBS Teacher I worked several years sending paper WBS to students in Africa before I began full time employment. Now that I am semi-retired and have a computer, I am so thankful for this opportunity to share God's Word electronically with students who want to study; it allows me to sow some seed for the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is a pleasure to meet people in this nation through this method. I look forward to many years, teaching many students, from many nations. Campaigns Our local Woodsfield congregation has conducted county-wide Reach Out for Christ campaigns in which I participated by knocking doors to invite folks and set up studies. Our Monroe County population of approximately 16,000 is scattered along 40 miles of the western side of the Ohio River and runs inland through rural areas. Woodsfield itself is about 3,000 population. Christians came from various states to assist us. These campaigns were great building blocks for our congregation. Hobbies / Interests I enjoy being
a servant of Christ, spending time with family, friends, reading, and working
on the computer.
Philippians is a wonderfully encouraging book. In particular, Philippians
4:8 tells us
