When I think of who I am, before I think of being a Mom of 8, a wife, a daughter, a Grammy, a friend, a neighbor, I think first of being a child of God.

What comes to mind when u picture people in the Bible? Archaic, unrelatable stories? perfection beyond reach? When u take a look at the characters in the Bible and emerse yourself in their story, and read all of the details, you see people. People like us. Flawed. Headstrong. Humble. Caring. Awful. Saved. Transformed. People.
In episodes 11-19, we asked the question “What character in the Bible do you most admire or relate to?” Here is an audio collage of the answer to that question. Praying that we all find a new joy, as we revisit the characters in the Bible that we sometimes misunderstand.
Sadness. Pain. Joy. Life. Love. Hope . What gets me excited as i go through this life is… where i am going after…and bringing others to that hope. HEAVEN. Have u ever stopped to think much about what this might be like? As you listen, you will hear many voices, from toddlers, to friends in their 90’s share their answer to the question, “what are you most looking forward to about heaven?” Enjoy. At the end of this episode, my family and i put together a tribute to our Mom, Jeanne, who passed away in April, 2019. She was definitely not a cookie cutter Mom, which you will perceive instantly. You will hear the voices of many of her 4 siblings, 5 children, 17 grand-children and 4 great-grandchildren offering precious thoughts and stories. At the end of the episode, her loving husband of 25 years, Conan…shares their very unique love story.lfhpodcast@gmail.com Also, you can hear the beautiful song “Here I Am, Lord” by Daniel L.

My beloved son and 1st podcast guest, shares his story, of a faithful God, family, and community advocating for him, when he was too sick to do so for himself. January 1st, 2016, he was away at college, with 46 days of misdiagnosis, doctor and hospital negligence, a ward of the state, in a mental institution, suffering the effects of intense anti-psychotic drugs, reaching a point of abject hopelessness. He shares this journey, as well as his rightful diagnosis, encephalitis, and his journey to complete recovery. He is passionate about helping college students, and engaging his community, grateful, healed and paying it forward.
