Favorite Bible verse?
Luke 24:32. Because, Jesus has done in that verse what the Holy Spirit does for us today. And it reminds me of those great men and women who have translated the scriptures and of those whose hearts are opened when they read it in their language for the first time.
“And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us, while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened to us the Scriptures?” Luke 24:32
.
"Chashna chingarijpimi paicunaca: Quillcachishcacunata yuyachichpa, ñanpi ñucanchijman huillacushpaca ¿manachu ñucanchij shungutaca rupachij shina yuyachishpa rimarca? nishpami, caishuj chaishuj ninacurcacona." Lucas 24:32 (Ecuadorian highland Quichua)
En zij zeiden tot elkander: Was ons hart niet brandende in ons, terwijl Hij onderweg tot ons sprak en ons de Schriften opende? Lucas 24:32 (Flemish Dutch)
Favorite family tradition?
Thanksgiving dinner and watching A Christmas Story. It’s a classic and fun movie. The scene where the dogs come in and steal the turkey dinner is a riot. Although I seem to be watching it by myself more often these days! “Mom, how many times can you watch that!”
Favorite sport/sport team or boardgame?
Go Cubbies! The Chicago Cubs.
If you could vacation anywhere…where would you go?
West coast of Ireland.
Hidden Talent?
Calligraphy, singing.
Most memorable experience here at Calvary?
Seeing my kids baptized as little children by Fred Morse in Samsvick Chapel. Tim gave his testimony and Fred baptized him. Anna started talking and talking and talking. She had no fear of being up front and sharing. Finally Fred found a breaking point and said, “That’s great” and then baptized her, after some laughter. It is a great memory.
What do you like best about working at Calvary?
Knowing that it not a job, but a wonderful privilege – changing lives to be more like Jesus day by day.
