HOMEABOUT MEWRITINGMUSICHE HAS FORGIVEN MECHRIST IN MESOMEDAYHOLY IS THE LORDTHE LORD'S SIDE?

Here are some facts about me.   
 
I grew up in the suburbs of New York City.  I  married my high school sweetheart, Phil.   After living in Central Pennsylvania for decades, we now live south of Nashville, Tennessee... our home for over thirteen years now.
 
 
Phil and I  have been married for 42 years, have one son who is 37 years old. He has been married to HIS high school sweetheart for over 15 years and they have three children, 10, 8,7 years old - and live very close by.  My parents, 88 and 87 live close by and their Godly lives have been the foundation of my life.  My brother and his family also live close by and we are thankful to be in their lives and they in ours. 
 
My four plus decades of being married to Phil have included years as
  • traveling evangelists/singers through the United States and Canada,
  • recording over seven albums (records, CD's.. ) ...  
  • producing a TV show for and about women which aired on various Christian TV stations in the north and northeastern United States.  
  • For seven years my husband was the pastor of a church in Central Pennsylvania that was a sister church of - and -  affiliated with The Brooklyn Tabernacle and Pastor Jim Cymbala.

 

No one is more surprised than I am to be able to say that I am a songwriter and that various other Christian artists have recorded my songs.  
 
  • I have written over 200 articles for various national Christian magazines such as HomeLife, Christian Single, Answer Magazine, Mature Living, Outlook and Working Woman. 

  • I was HONORED to be asked to write the Spring 2012 Church Curriculum for Lifeway - "Explore the Bible - The Book of Luke - Discovery".  I am in awe that so many people will be using it for their Sunday small group studies. Maybe you'll consider using it for your own small group or women's group, or a Sunday School class..
  • I am currently writing a monthly Boomer Humor Column for a brand new Lifeway Magazine, "More Living" due to hit stands in 2012. 
  • I wrote a Bible Study column for three years for Christian Single Magazine, as well as an "advice" column for HomeStreet Press in Ohio. 

  • In addition, in 2012 - Penny Hill Publishing is releasing a new CD/Bible Study/Devotional for women titled "Half The World".   In my role as a conference speaker, when I was a Pastor's wife and a Women's Ministry Leader, my heart has become even more focused on encouraging women to remember that we are half the world, and God has a unique and POWERFUL plan for every woman He creates. (which means every woman).   This collection of songs will come with a Devotional and Bible Study that correlates with the song.  

  • A book about what I learned from my Godly, feisty N.Y. Italian mother "Meatballs For the Mind" is also near completion

 
  • As a result of traveling with Phil, and ministering in various events, churches, colleges, and Christian TV shows,women's groups began to invite me to speak at various women's events.. and soon I became a conference speaker.  WHO KNEW WHAT GOD COULD DO? God did. 
  • SOMETIMES... SOMEONE WILL COME HERE TO THIS, MY WEBSITE, wondering if they should invite me to speak at their next women's event.  If you don't know me..or don't know someone who does....and therefore you AREN'T SURE THAT GOD WANTS ME TO BE THE ONE TO SPEAK AT YOUR EVENT.....then it will probably be better for us to wait until you are SURE God wants me to speak at your next event.  

Thanks for visiting.. for reading this... and now you know just a little bit more about me.  But my prayer is that you will want to know everything about Jesus.  He's the One who matter.
