My father has enriched my knowledge of life in that particular area and told me many stories from his childhood experiences - 1908-1920.
Also, I know first-hand that teenage alcoholism is a curse on our young people today and I have written 'Glades Boy in hope of helping teens and young adults find help with with their addictions through the acceptance of Jesus Christ.
At the age of nineteen, my father became a christian and went into the ministry. In those days, his particular church affiliation moved ministers from place to place, and often state to state. As a result I grew up in many areas of the United States, from Florida and Georgia -I won't name them all - to North Dakota and the beautiful Northwest. I deeply appreciate the beauty of each area, but I consider myself a Floridian.
I gave my life to Christ as a child - became distant from my Lord as a young adult, but came back to a place of wonderful inner peace.
I am an artist and owned a commercial Art Studio most of my adult life.
In 2003, two of my short stories were published in "ABC's of foods" by Louise Ulmer. I re-wrote and self-published a novel , ONESIMUS, which was written by my father.
I am an ordained minister and December 17, 1993 Reverend Gene Smith, a pastor and middle school teacher, and I were married. We pastored Lynn Haven Church of God until our retirement, December 31, 2007. We are both still active in ministry, filling in where we are needed. I am a chalk-talk artist and enjoy sharing my ministry with different churches when invited.
I have four children and three step-children. Together, Gene and I have eighteen grandchildren and ten great-grands.view less
