So many events have come and gone in this first third of 2008, I hardly know where to begin. My life may be lived alone, but it is rarely lonely, thanks to my faith, family and friends.
Although work takes up the better part of my day, I am truly blessed to be part of a wonderful church and a great singles group. With less than 6 weeks of school left, I find the days going by at warp speed.

We recently celebrated our annual International Dinner at the New Hope Community Church of the Nazarene in Denville, New Jersey. We were blessed to have David Webb, one of our guides in Guatemala, as our missionary for the weekend. I am able to worship with a wonderfully diverse group of people who have many different experiences and cultures, and a common focus on our Lord, Jesus Christ.
The food was delicious, the fellowship rewarding, and the message eternal. It is so exciting to see people from every continent except Antarctica.
I serve as the liaison to the First Choice Woman's Resource Center in Morristown, New Jersey. Unplanned pregnancies can definitely disrupt lives. Women and men have several options, we hope they will choose 'First Choice' to ease the anxiety.
We recently participated in the 'Baby Bottle Boomerang' where people took baby bottles, filled them with money, and returned them to the church. A generous benefactor matched the $945.00 that was raised. It is amazing to see how 'problems' are solved and hope is restored as women, couples and families make a godly 'First Choice'.
Recreational time is spent hiking, playing the dulcimer, and learning and serving with a terrific group of single men and women. Check it out at:
Colossians 4:6
Let your conversation be always full of grace,
seasoned with salt,
so that you may know how to answer everyone.
Bethlehem's SALT Ministry exists to enable Single Adults to deepen their devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ by providing a biblically based environment for spiritual growth, social interaction, meaningful relationships and service opportunities.
Participating in a single adult ministry is more than attending social events or providing an environment for finding a mate. Instead, it's about teaching adults to seek and follow Jesus Christ and - in turn - encourage others to do the same. In this fashion, meaningful relationships develop naturally as a result of having a right relationship with Almighty God.
We recently finished a bible study on the book: "It's Not About You" by Max Lucado.
Right now, I'm looking forward to an exciting weekend and the opportunity to celebrate speak at a Mother's Day dinner, to celebrate Mother's Day (on Saturday) with my wonderful mother, and to attend a concert on Sunday. Although I won't be with my own children, every day is Mother's Day when you're a MOM!
God is good, all the time.
