About Me
After graduating with the 10th Way Corps I spent a year in Utah. Houk and I got married in 1983 and spent several years in California - first in the Bay Area and later in southern CA. We moved to Houston in 1988 where we have been ever since (less a 1 year stint back in CA). We have the joy of teaching God's Word and overseeing fellowships here. We are so thankful for the joyful privilege of serving God's Word and having such wonderful believers to fellowship with. They are awesome. We have 2 sons, Dave and Rob, who are both currently in college. They love God and walk with Him and are a delight to our hearts. We also have 2 black labs - (one is really a person in a dog's body). We are immeasurably thankful to God for His grace, mercy and lovingkindness toward us. God is so good. And we have so much to be thankful for that it is overwhelmning. So glad that our Father is so gracious, kind and merciful and that our Lord Jesus Christ freely gave so that we can know who we are in Him and walk in it. What grace!
My Interests
Learning and growing in God's Word. Being a part of ministering His Word and grace to people. Speding time with those I love. I also enjoy reading and sewing.
Employment or Career
Houk is a minister here and has a part time window cleaning business. I have a business sewing custom window treatments. I love it.
Music I Like
Most kinds (except country - Houk wonders where he went wrong!) In addition to music written by believers, I like classic rock, rhythm and blues, old Motown, some classical. I love Anna Cushingham's CD. It is amazing.
Books I Like
God's Word. There is nothing else that joys and rejoices the heart like when God opens the "eyes of our understanding" to some truth in His Word, is there?
I also enjoy mysteries and historical romances. I liked Robert Tannenbaum a lot until he switched ghost writers. Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series is belly laughing funny. Some inspirational books. I think "Christy" is my favorite book.
Television I like
The Closer and Monk.
Movies I like
Pride and Predjudice (the most recent one - 2006?)
Bourne movies, latest Die Hard...suspense, some comedies.

Reno is great, I see Bill all the time. He lives a mile from me and comes to our fellowship. I will send him your love.
What part of Houston are in you? My sister lives near Galviston. I get down there sometimes and would love to see the both of you.
I'll tell Lyn you said hi.
You like Stephanie Plum, too. I love them..so great when I need a bit of "escape humor"..they are some of the funniest books I have ever read.
Love you!
So so many great memories. Wow when you mentioned about being at the hospital I can see it as if it were yesterday. Our grandchildren, Andrew, Ellie, and Benjamin are 3. They are truly miracles, alot of fun too!
Your boys are grown too! I love getting your Christmas Cards each year. Much love to Houk and Maggie.

So nice to hear from you. I can just picture us as if we were in the room talking together. You were always the one who encouraged others to remember the goodness of God. I would love to talk sometime. Here is my home number: 703 979-6565
Love you,
Rosanne
You and Houk look wonderful and your boys are very handsome. When ever we go up to Big Bear we always think of your hospitality and kindness and say- Isn't that the exit for where the Houk and Sheila lived ? I think the kids even know the exit now , LOL.
God blessings to you both-
Paul & Nancy
I'm living in Phoenix, AZ with my husband that I met through a cristian singles web site...it was very "coincidental":)...quite the fluke :).
Yesterday, I was speaking with one of my stepdaughters about her wedding. One of the categories I spoke about was how you need a best man or someone like the man that was in my first wedding...like Houk! I'll never forget how wonderful he handled things.
Please give my love to Houk...you two look fantastic. Do you still have family in CA? My Mom and Dad live here in AZ. My older brother Greg and family have mostly migrated to Idaho and my little brother David and family are living in Sweden for a few years.
I still run my skin care company and we go to a very special church here in Gilbert, AZ. My husband and I run a small group and it has bee such a wonderful blessing. I am so enjoying hearing about everyone and their lives through this web site. What a wonderful blessing! PS thanks for the holiday cards you send through the years! I loved receiving them and seeing the boys grow.
Love and hugs, Judy
