Just some random particulars about my life:
I've been in church from the time I was conceived.
Robert, my husband for 43 years, is still telling stories
about his "pre-Sharon" days that I've never heard (how can that be?).
Of the best gifts that the Lord has given me, four are my children,
now grown with their own children (more gifts).
At the present time, my "grand-gifts" number 10.
And there are the "great-grand-gifts" - three
darling little girls.
When it comes to doing laundry, I am an accomplished
procrastinator.
This is what my husband and I would like to see accomplished
in our marriage: May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to
live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that
together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ. Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory
of God. Romans 15:5-7
For me, organic gardening is an avenue to observe the
Creator's magnificent designs fashioned to delight me.
Amazingly, at 70 years of age, I am still kept in the love
of God because of my Savior. Though I sin, His love rules our relationship and He
continues to forgive and cleanse me daily.
The books I read convict me to get off my comfort zone to
love and serve God more fervently. I need this!
Sale-ing and hopping are two of my favorite pastimes – “garage-sale-ing”
and “thrift-store-hopping”.

The Bible Project videos fascinate me and so effortlessly
teach me about the Bible.
My little dog Tucker makes me laugh with his crazy-horse
antics. I see in him God's wonderful sense of humor.
A favorite pursuit is
to share a meal around the table with whoever the Lord brings our way - our
homeless neighbors, a friend that is ill or a daughter that God just snatched
from the kingdom of darkness and transferred into the Kingdom of His beloved
Son.
Listening to John Piper consistently moves me to pursue a
more surrendered life to the Lord Jesus Christ.
The YouVersion Bible provides Bible reading plans that put
me at Jesus’ feet daily, gazing on His beauty.
About the time I was conceived, my great grandmother,
Franziska, went to live with Jesus, leaving behind a legacy of love for her
Savior. I discovered this treasure 16 years ago in a family history book. Read
about this inspiring woman of God here!
Five years of my early Christian were lived as a legalist, yielding
an “inside-out righteousness”, with my "legal lists" of dos and
don'ts. Unmitigated pride was the fruit. BUT God delivered me and showered on
me His love. A book, "A Legal Night" was born as I “unlearned” all I
had erroneously believed and discovered again God’s amazing grace and Jesus, the
author and perfecter of my faith.
Jamin' is one way I preserve the fruit harvested here on our
little farm, The Yarden of Feedin'. Find my recipes here on my food blog.
How encouraged I am by City Alight! The Lord used their song
lyrics, rich with precious doctrinal truths, to transcend my physical pain while
recuperating from a very tough surgery earlier this year.
What an abundant life the Lord Jesus Christ gives to those who embrace Him!
