I have been a Bible Scholar and teacher for over 30 years and now work in a Christian Montessori Day School. Married to John for 51 years, mother of 4, Grandmother of 6, great-grandmother of 1. Major influences have been the rural community and values with which and in which I was raised, the Bible in several versions, and authors such as Pascal, C.S.Lewis, J.R.R.Tolkien, Trueblood, and many Sci.Fi. writers.
