The Edmonton Connection

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

Nancy_Laurie_Karin_ed.JPGWell some of you heard about Nancy’s visit to Edmonton where she was able to meet both Laurie and Karin! Boy did I ever wish I could be there too! Karin and I actually go a very long way back, her cousin was my best friend as a teenager! But guess what? We reconnected thru the cwt chat room! It really is a very small world and we are so glad that you are a part of the team Karin! We are praying for you this summer as you take a sabbatical from chat, that God will restore and refresh you! We miss you!(see you in September)

Marianne tells me this isn’t her best picture, but I still think that a picture is worth a thousand words. So here is a face to wonderful Marianne, our Alabama gal and newest chat team member! Marianne loves leading our Online Studies and has done both Conversation Peace and Vertically Inclined. We are glad to have you on the team Marianne!

BeckDandD_300blog.JPGYou have all seen pictures of me, but I thought it was high time that I introduced my better half! Dave and I have been married for 31 years, served with Campus Crusade for Christ for our entire married life and are now empty nesters! The best is yet to come I say! Our first grandchild is expected within the next month and we can hardly wait!

Get to know Liz!

Liz_and_husband_ed.JPGThis is our fearless Liz! Along with her husband David and granddaughter. One of my first memories of Liz is hearing about how she shared Christ with a troubled chatter who then committed her life to the Lord! She has been such an encouragement to me over these years of serving together on the chat team for the christianwomentoday chat room. We are so glad you are part of our team Liz!

Waiting times

Monday, July 3rd, 2006

Hi there, everyone,

 As we get to know one another better, there’s a question that comes to my mind. I’m sure it is influenced by the fact that I’m “waiting” a bit more this week; when we’re taken out of our normal routine we sometimes become aware of the challenge we face while waiting.

 My question is:
What lessons have you learned during waiting times, that made the waiting worthwhile? What value or treasure do you have today, that you’d not have if you’d been able to set the timetable? (This could be related to work, health issues, a decision, ministry, family or some other area.)

Thanks ahead of time for sharing with us the treasures or lessons God has entrusted to you.

Here’s Nancy!

My apologies for taking so long to introduce more of our team. Here is a picture that we got a stranger to take of Bobbi, Winsome and I when we were all together earlier this spring! We had so much fun exploring God’s amazing creation and just enjoying face to face time! God is so good to give us a team to be a part of! Thanks Bobbi and Winsome for being part of our team!

Share a summer memory

Wednesday, June 14th, 2006

Hi there!

 Since this is for the “Getting to Know You” section, I thought I’d just toss out a general question about summer. What do you enjoy about summer? Do you have a favorite summer memory? (If you have some special plans for this summer, feel free to share those as well!)

Meet Laurie!

Thursday, June 8th, 2006

Here's Laurie!Well I am excited to say that I have had my ‘picture’ lesson and have managed to enlarge the picture of Carla and her husband(see below to actually finally be able to see more than a teeny weeny picture), as well as this one of Laurie! Thought you should all see our awesome Chat Administrator who keeps us and all of our crazy schedules straight! Thank you Laurie for blessing us with your administrative gifts and your willing spirit!
