"Life in a Snowglobe," Women's Day Seminar. Saturday, January 24, 2009, Community Evangelical Free Church in Platteville, WI.

Twenty-six years ago, a visionary woman handed me a business card containing the address of a new-on-the-scene radio station with which she had a business connection. She said,
"Send the first broadcast here."
At the time, I had no experience, no equipment, no training, no ideas, but I'd just told the Lord I'd follow Him anywhere and do anything He asked of me. So I pocketed the business card and set about learning how to write and produce a radio broadcast. All I had for sure was its name--THE HEARTBEAT OF THE HOME--and a passion for communicating the truths of God's Word as they apply to everyday life. Now, more than two decades later, 26 stations carry the broadcast...every weekday. Check out the website and meet my radio partner--Jackie.
Writing occupies a great deal of my time. As if I didn't have enough to do, fiction projects call to me as well. As a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers organization, I'm hobnobbing with excellence in hopes some of it rubs off on me. And as I always say,
"A bad day writing is better than a good day exfoliating...but only by a hair."
