My daytime hours are abundantly filled as church secretary for a local congregation. I certainly do enjoy toying with the written word. Therefore, my work is incredibly rewarding.
In a nutshell you can say that my life journey has taken me from rheumatic fever at age six through a twenty-four year seizure disorder (beginning at age eighteen) to radical brain surgery nine years ago and to being completely healed and seizure-free today! Click on the Bio link below and read my story in completion.
Through it all, I have to tell you that the one that has made the greatest impact in my life is my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Without Him, I probably would not be here, but because of Him, I can tell you that Miracles do still happen. I'm walking proof!
If it seems like your circumstances are hopeless... Don't give up! Keep on praying! You never know what blessings God may have waiting for you just around the bend.
Thank you for dropping into my den... I do hope your heart is encouraged through my words. I believe that words possess the power to hurt or to heal; so we should use them wisely.' May you only find nuggets of encouragement on this page.
Stop in again!
blessings...
Frances

Birth Place: Monroe, NC USA
Accomplishments: Frances has authored two books, The Significance of a Dream, An Inspirational Book of Poetry and Short Stories and Perils & Promises, Life On Mission-a true and accurate account of life on the mission field. Both of these books contain inspirational nuggets of truth.
Frances has published poetry with the International Library of Poets and her work is displayed in a volume entitled, "The Colors of Life" copyright 2003 by Watermark Press.
She has also published articles within a western Union County publication, "The County Edge." She has had several mission articles published in the "Baptists On Missions" magazine--a publication offered by the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina in an effort to mobilize Christians around the state to become active in missions.
You will discover that Frances is a certified writer in and about the 'school of hard knocks.' Some of you may be all too familiar with that territory as well! So, Enjoy her God-given gift of expression through poetry and short stories.
Frances' believes her greatest achievement came through raising a wonderful son--a once-small boy with a great big heart who became an active marine as an adult. After serving nine years in the Marine Corps and 2 tours in Iraq, he settled in Maryland and currently works at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.
Although he has settled far from North Carolina where he was raised, Frances trusts that God has him exactly where He needs him to be for such a time as this.
Frances has four terrific grandkids-
