I have been married to a now-retired railroader for thirty-one years and have two children, a boy and a girl, one daughter-in-law and two grandsons. My faith in God is the most important thing in the world to me,  Next comes my family. I have a BA in Linguistics and English certifications which I used, up until recently, to teach. I seem to have found a niche in Special Education, but I am not up for more schooling so I have chosen instead to take a job as a paraprofessional serving Special Education students. My favorite authors are Madeleine L’Engle, Phillip Yancey and Francine Rivers. I like to read and obviously to blog. I get a lot out of walking and cruising (in a car) when walking is not feasible. The hubby and I recently rediscovered biking, which is also pretty nice. I also have rheumatoid arthritis which, oddly enough, I think has made me a better person.

    I am not sure how I happened upon your blog, Becky, but I have enjoyed reading it so much and “getting to know you” a little. I will be back often, as I have added you to my blog list. The Lord’s very best to you as we begin this new year!

    Hey, Becky. I’m so glad that my testimony has helped you in your walk with the Lord. I do highly recommend “The Ragamuffin Gospel.” Everyone I know who has read it has been radically changed — they suddenly realize that they are loveable because God has declared us so! From what I’ve read, you seem like a lovely lady, and I enjoy getting to know you through the blog world. Blessings!
