I was born and raised in Spokane, WA, but ventured to the foreign lands of Texas to attend Trinity University.
I married well. We’ve been married for 18 years. We have two boys and spend much of our money on soccer cleats, soccer jerseys, and whatever other soccer paraphernalia they can find. I will soon be the shortest person in my family.
After years of serving churches in youth ministry, I attended Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, GA.
I am currently the pastor of Southminster Presbyterian Church in Boise, ID and we love it here! We are a welcoming congregation in South Boise that seeks to share God’s grace in our community.
I believe labyrinths allow extroverts to get in touch with their spiritual side.
I was on Romper Room as a child.
I believe Colin Firth is the only Mr. Darcy.
Traveling in the Middle East really changed my perspective on the world and I’m eagerly waiting for a chance to go back.
Siamese cats are the best pets.
I am also a lapsed cellist, soccer carpool driver, and espresso drinker who has somehow become a part of the Bronco Nation–GO BOISE STATE!

Welcome to the RevGalBlog Pals. I am new too. I am also new to full time ministry (17 months)as a pastor.
I am looking forward to reading blogs like yours as I learn to navigate and integrate new terminology, ways of doing things, a new role.
I agree with your comment about the Colin Firth and the Middle East.
I am curious about your idea that “labyrinths allow extroverts to get in touch with their spiritual side.” I have never been in one. I will check to see if you have written about this on your blog.
Nice to meet you as well, Susan!
I’m not sure that I’ve written here about labyrinths, but my experience is that when my body is engaged in the act of walking the path, it allows my mind to rest and receive from God. In general, if you leave me alone with my thoughts, I tend to fall asleep, so that can make it difficult to find my spiritual side!
Let me know if you’d like more info on labyrinths before you go and walk one.
Marci – I LOVE your blog!! Wish you were here in Decatur to sip wine and talk more about everything – but SO glad to know that Boise is fitting you so well. Can’t agree more about labyrinths and Colin Firth!! Hugs to you friend! ~ Katie
