I am a pastors wife. We have been in the ministry for 28 years. We have
3 children and will soon be empty nesters. My husband and I love to
read. Most all of the books I read are ministry related. I love the lively
discussions in the groups I am a part of and love to meet new friends.
Thanks Dinah for inviting me to join Shelfari. more »

    Hi, Karen -- you still on here? I just finished the book "The Shack." Have you heard of it? It's purely fiction, but it's very good!

    I haven't seen you on any of the sites I visit, not even your own. Have you found some better sites. Let me know if you have and I will visit them. Doylene

    www.lizcurtishiggs.com If you can't see her in person, she has some videos that are very much worth investing in.

    Hi Karen, how are you? I see you read Liz Curtis Higgs. What do you think of her? I saw her in person at our ladies' retreat this year and she is just fantastic!

    Hello Karen,

    I would love to stop by that group and share more about my ministry. I'm in the process of moving at the moment and in a couple weeks I will do that. Thanks for the invite. In Christ!

    I will try to check out the High Call and Priviledge groups. I don't have a lot of time to spend on the site each day, so it can be challenging juggling too many group discussions!

    Thank you so much! I used to be a harpie. Before I was a walking, talking, breathing christian, I was not a nice person. I still don't like looking at old pictures, because I know how I was. I'm a camera hog now, because I see my Father working on and in me and I love who I am. I look forward to seeing what else God is going to do.

    Hi Karen! I am happy to accept your friend request. It sounds like we have a lot in common...My husband and I are not pastors, but I am a PK. We have been married for 28 years and have 2 adult daughters - the youngest is a sophomore in college this year, so we are facing the empty nest as well.

    Blessings!

    You bet it is hard to do! Right now, I am in the phase where I am beginning to get in touch with another side of my self and the "be still" that God speaks about seems to point to getting in touch with my inner self.

    "Be still and know that I am God; supreme among the nations, supreme among the earth..." That's one of may favorite passages! Thanks for echoing this beautiful and powerful passage!

    I have already been at school for three weeks teaching the new teachers how to teach! I need to get in my classroom though and get it ready. It looks terrible.

    I have read it and found it very seventies-ish. I guess it would be. However, it shouldn't take more than half an hour to read it, so if you hate it, it won't have killed much time.

    Did Jeremy win on Sunday?

    "The Great Divorce" is an image of the life-after - "heaven" and "hell". It presents a variety of people - how they were "good" and "bad" during their physical life and how they fared in the life-after. There is such a wealth of wisdom in this book. I've read it 4 times already.

    Your insights are so helpful. Yes, that image of Moses and the need to keep one's composure... so appropriate, indeed. I always find strength in the Scriptural passage: all things work for the good of those who love God... ALL THINGS...
