THE PALOMINO
Author's Bio
God first used a horse to draw me to Himself in 1976. I was 13 and living in Botswana (Southern Africa). Black Jack was my first horse, he had been my Christmas present when I was 11. I loved that horse.
African Horse Sickness was a terrible and usually fatal disease in that area of the continent. It struck our barn and we all waited as several horses including mine contracted the virus. I was devastated. My parents, new believers, suggested a prayer meeting. We prayed for my horse and the next day I went back out to my barn to find him healed!
I accepted Jesus as my savior in that moment and have spent the rest of my days learning as much as possible about my Lord. I am truly as excited about knowing Him today as I was 25 years ago.
I grew up as a Foreign Service "brat". We lived in Asia and Africa. Much of my education was in State Department, independent, missionary, boarding, or English schools.
My education includes a B.A. in English Literature from George Mason University, and a post-graduate teaching certificate for grades K - 5 from James Madison University.
As an adult I married, and convinced my unsuspecting husband to take over a small rustic horse farm. I flourished there, teaching buckets of horseback riding lessons to young people. It was at my little farm that many of Jenny’s adventures actually happened.
Then we had children and it was time to move into a real house. I still have my horses and I am still teaching a little. I have recently begun holding Creative Writing Workshops to help kids begin the wonderful process of writing.
I love learning, teaching and writing. I believe words are a powerful tool when used by God. He is the ultimate creative writer. I am humbled to be used by Him.
