I am unashamedly pro-life. I don’t apologize as I proudly stand in defense for life. However, this wasn’t always the case. I faced a crisis pregnancy decades ago. It was shortly after Roe v. Wade became national law. Not wanting to disappoint my parents, I...

When I see injustice in our society, quite often I get overwhelmed, wanting to make an impact … a difference … not knowing what to do or where to turn. Can you relate? Recently, there have been nationwide protests led by student groups supporting improved gun...

I’m not talking about election results, nor about the Academy Awards. A few weeks ago I promised to give you an update on medical tests once received. But before I spill those beans, a lot of people have asked what I think about yesterday’s “A Day Without a Woman.”...

Last week I attended a Pro-Life/Pro-Women’s Conference with great anticipation. I was excited to gather with other like-minded women from across the nation (and countries) to learn new ways to defend life. As one of the sponsors, we were able to connect with...

Those of you who know me know I’ve had many changes in my life . . . lots of them. Retirement, work, health, ministry. It’s not enough for me, the true choleric that I am, to take on one mission – NOOOOO, I have to take them all on. Several years back I took a...
