My memories of Sunday School reach back to the old musty basement of our centuries-old church building. I can yet feel how the cold of the metal folding chairs we sat on seeped through my thin Sunday dresses. Yet the memories are sweet, mostly because of the teachers who opened up God’s Word to me. […]
Several years ago, I read the book The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown. An exceptional book, it describes how “with a team composed of the sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the University of Washington’s eight-oar crew team was never expected to defeat the elite teams of the East Coast and […]

“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.” Proverbs 13:12 The best surprise I ever pulled off was for my husband’s 30th birthday. He did not even have an inkling of what was coming. The kids were 5, 3, and 1, and I remember that I took a […]

“Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see” (Hebrews 11:1). For years, my husband has handed me theological books to read, works that he has loved and that have impacted him. Sometimes I read them. Sometimes I just can’t. And sometimes I wait. That’s the […]
A couple of years ago, my cat was violently playing with her toy and she crashed into the leg of my telescope. I heard a terrible crash and the noise of a very fearful cat running to the other end of the house. I set the telescope back up and tried to console the cat. […]
It can sometimes be intimidating for pastors or pastor’s wives when former pastors and wives are a part of one’s congregation. I never had that feeling over the years that Ron and Gloria Johnston called the church “home” in which my husband is currently the pastor. We have felt nothing but support and encouragement from […]
