Who am I? So many labels can be applied to any of our lives. I'm a born-again follower of Jesus Christ, a pastor's wife, an author, mother, grandmother, musician, and blogger, and podcaster. "Beyond Common Sense" is a place where I share "Lessons Learned While Walking with Jesus." I have found that not only is God everywhere, but He teaches us through our experiences and common, ordinary examples from His world.

What a privilege to share some of those lessons... with you!

March 18, 2023
Life’s choices can be difficult to make, but just like Abraham, who went out not knowing where he was going, we can trust God for the hardest AND the seemingly easiest choice! LISTEN AND BE KIND!!
