About Harmony

I am a writer and teacher, a wife, and a mother of six. It is my deep privilege to listen to others’ stories in my work as a pastoral counselor and to connect God’s story to our own in my pastoral work in our local congregation. In these pages I aim to write thoughtful and beautiful words, to mine goodness, and to speak as truthfully as I can.

My husband David and I have been married for 22 years and reside in Oregon.

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love, will have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Ephesians 3:14-19

You have been called to live in freedom.
In love, use your freedom to serve one another.

Galatians 5:13
