About Me
I've been married to Bo Reahard for 33 years, have 2 grown children--a 25 year-old son living in Richmond, VA and a 28 year-old daughter living Missoula MT. Bo and I recently sold our house in Tampa and bought a motorcoach. We plan to tour the country when we're not in residence either in Michigan or SC. We're going in search of revival in America to see what God is doing in the great country of ours.
We left TWI in 1984, started a home church in Atlanta that year. Since moving to Tampa we've been kicked out of the Episcopal Church (twice) but continue to support various ministries both in the US and abroad.
My Interests
Always seeking what God has next for us and loving each day that He continues to give us. I love playing golf, gardening, curling up with a good book. I still hate exercising but have to or my body falls apart on me.
Employment or Career
Working on a book of memoirs about growing up on the Isle of Palms in the 1950's and keeping Bo going so he can make enough money that I don't have to 9 to 5 it!
Music I Like
Love a lot of contemporary Christian artists like Steve Camp (Mercy in the Wilderness) Kathy Tricolli (Sounds of Heaven). Enjoy jazz and classical as well--especially Joshua Bell on the violin. Oldies, of course--Simon and Garfunkle, Willie Nelson, James Taylor. I guess you'd say I'm pretty eclectic in my tastes.
Books I Like
Love the Janet Evanovich series on Stephanie Plum for laugh-out-loud escapism. Enjoy well-researched historical novels by Philippa Gregory (The Other Boleyn Girl, etc.) Like Jodi Picoult for the sheer audacity of some of the subjects she tackles. Like Ann Patchet's work--just ordered her new book. Also Lian Hearne's Tales of the Otori series set in feudal Japan--really fun.
Television I like
Gulity pleasures=Desperate Housewives, Lost and Shark. Bo seems to be more into CSI and Numbers--go figure. We also seem to watch a fair amount of golf and tennis on the tv.
Movies I like
What would I watch again and again? Indochine, Casablanca, Elizabeth, The Queen, Out of Africa, Shakespeare in Love, Forest Gump, the Nativity Story...I'm sure there are more.
Sports Teams I like
The Bucs.
Comments
I'm so sorry--after I posted that note I knew I should have given more information. My mother was Bess Finch and she decided to take the class while I was in the College Division at Emporia, where both you and Bo taught me classes if I remember correctly. She returned home from visiting at Emporia and took the class with you and attended your fellowship until you left Atlanta. After that, she never connected with anyone else and drifted away from it. I visited your home there as well when I came to see my mom. Now that I think about it, my name then was LewEllyn Finch. I went on Staff in 1985 after the College Division and worked as a writer for Way Publications and Way Magazine until 1995 when I moved on to other states, other jobs. Indeed there was a 30th Corps and there are still Way Corps training at Gunnison but very small groups--some years under 20 people. In my Corps, which graduated in 2001, there were closer to 50. My husband had gone through the 15th corps but we decided to go back in together. Afterwards, we served as ministers here in New Hampshire and kind of phased out around 2005-06 (I've just realized it was that recently!). I can certainly understand why you wouldn't remember me. Your presence was prominent in the ministry at that time but our connection was fleeting. I knew Alison briefly as well and her writing. Glad to hear she's made a career of it. Thanks for responding.
Irving is between Dallas and Ft. Worth. I am about 10 minutes from DFW airport. You have probabily been "rock chuckin'" near a bunch of times.
Our kids each had their "dark night of the soul",too. I will pray and believe with you. Like you said, He rescued us!
I would love to hear more of you adventures. Steve and I consider moving back in to an RV. We had a great time during our three years living in the RV. As you know, there are proses and conn. But being mobil to follow what you hear from God- that is exciting! I'd love to hear where that has taken you, so far.
I love you both dearly,
Elizabeth
