My husband Chris and I call the windswept, high plains of Wyoming “home.” The Air Force brought us here, but the family-friendliness kept us here as we raised our three delightful daughters. Over the past decade, our family has grown with the addition of three wonderful sons-in-law and three precious grandsons. Apparently, good things come in threes!
After graduating from college, I served for eight amazing years in campus ministry in Colorado. But my all-time favorite job was being a stay-at-home mom to our girls.
I’m passionate about God and His Word, and I love to share biblical truths with others. In 2020, I self-published my first Bible study, called Hearts on Fire: Falling in Love with Jesus in the Psalms. And, Lord willing, a new Bible study on the Song of Songs will be coming out in 2026!
When I’m not at my writing desk, you might find me at my craft table creating hand-stamped cards, or at my dining room table hosting a fancy tea party. If you’re ever in the neighborhood, stop by. I’ll gladly put the kettle on.
Hi Shelley,
Sister Sue and I are sitting in the hospital waiting room reminiscing about your days in Boulder. She just told us the story of the day she was driving through California on her way to Bakersfield, making a tape for you, and was approached by a car load of strangers. She incorporated her mysterious encounter into your recording in case it provided a clue to her impending abduction. Apparently all went well.
Hope you’re well. We speak of you often when ever we get together.

John! What a fun surprise to get this comment from you! Was literally just praying for your mom and family! I will look forward to hearing how the surgery went and will be praying for her recovery. So glad you are able to be there with her and with Sue! And yes, I do remember that tape–haha! Made me laugh to think of that after all this time! Love to all of you today!
Shelley,
Read what you wrote about Doug B. I did not realize how much he had influenced your life and it was a joy to read. You write beautifully. I have been thinking of you a lot lately and hope to call soon. It has been too long since talking. I would love a cup of tea and a long visit. Your daughters are beautiful and I pray all is well with you all. With much love and very fond memories. Joan
Joan,
What a fun surprise to read this comment from you! Thank you for dropping in and for reading my tribute to Doug. Of course, you know YOU are also one of “those people” in my life! A visit over a cup of tea would definitely be a delight! Maybe next time you’re in CO? In the meantime a phone chat would be wonderful! I think of you often with fondness and gratitude! Thanks again for your “visit” here! His love and mine, Shelley
