About Me

After years of my heart murmur being nothing, it was suddenly SOMETHING. I need surgery. Also had a heart catheter ablation earlier this summer. Ok, so with surgery three days away I can admit there is more to me than a leaky mitral valve. I'm married to a great guy, have two sons, 15 and 17, Lucy the golden doodle, and I'm pastor of a wonderful congregation who are all praying for me.
