Some roads in life are consciously chosen –others are not chosen, but you travel them anyway.
I embarked on that unchosen road on July 29, 1972 when I said “I do” to Randy. My new husband, Randy, was at that time a skeptical seminary student giving God’s call for his life a “try”. Although my life’s dream did not include being a minister’s wife–it did happen.
On that day, at that altar in the Friendship United Methodist Church in my hometown, during the prayer, Randy turned to me and said these now infamous words…”We won’t ever be rich, but you won’t ever be bored.”
You must know that at that moment, God put two very different people together and set them upon a life path. Randy is ADD with an attitude, type A personality, direct, a linebacker personality, go for the goal ( you get it). I am calm (most of the time), low key, go along to get along, and make everyone happy.
With this background, we set out on the ride of a lifetime serving God while experiencing the most unusual, poignant, hilarious and yet touching experiences most of the time carrying friends, family, and congregations along.
