Do you think Mary of Bethany thought of herself as an important person? Her sister Martha, after all, was the "doer" in the family. Abigail and Priscilla were housewives, but Deborah was a military leader. Did that make her more important? Do you feel special in your family or are you just somebody's sister like Miriam, Moses' sister?
God made each of us different from every other person He created. Why? Wouldn't we get along better if we were all gifted the same way? Or would that make the world just plain boring? Could it be that we each have a special purpose in life? Have you found the purpose God planned especially for you?

I like to write, read, teach, sing, play the piano, swim, cook, play in the yard, and walk by the ocean. I prefer coloring books to plain paper, summer to winter, daytime to nightime, and morning to afternoon. I like large families, but I prefer to visit with one friend at a time. I love to study the Bible and discuss what God is doing in the world today, but I can't handle really scary adventure novels. I am more interested in people and animals than in rocks and plants.
I tutor reading and writing and prefer second graders. I live with my husband Bill and cat Sasha in the center of California.
