Share a favorite Bible verse and/or inspirational song, and why this
is a favorite.
Matthew
17:20 …if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to
this mountain,”move from here to there,” and it will move.
Nothing will be impossible for you. I like to think of this whenever
I feel like I am not strong enough or don’t know enough in my
faith.
My
favorite song is He. It says it all. I first learned it as a child
because my mom sang it at a lot of weddings.
RUBY:
Tell us about your involvement at Troy UMC and/or the community.
I
have been a preschool teacher at First Step for 15 years. I helped
with VBS for many years. I was a Cub Scout leader and was on the
Council for Boy Scouts for over 12 years. I attend the women’s
Bible study group on Monday afternoons.
RUBY:
Which book do you look forward to reading with your students each
year?
I have many favorites but the first 2 that come to mind are
Noah’s Ark and Planting a Rainbow by Lois Ehlert.
RUBY:
The best aspect about teaching is . . .
that unconditional love and
trust you receive from the students and seeing the progress each one
makes throughout the year.
RUBY:
You have hooked me on card-making. Tell us about your own
card-making.
I first started card-making about 20 years ago along
with scrapbooking. I have taught classes in it and belong to a “card”
club that gets together to make cards and share ideas. I own way too
many stamp sets, but I love them all and can never decide which ones,
if any, to get rid of!
RUBY:
Tell us about your family.
My
husband, John and I have been married for almost 31 years. We have 3
sons, Matthew (age 27), Zach (age 24), and Tyler (age 19). Matt has
blessed us with 2 grandsons, Landon (age 6) and Chase who is 8 months
old. They keep us very busy.
