God has also richly blessed them with five beautiful grandchildren! Baptized at age twelve, Brenda is a lifelong member of the Lord’s Church and she and her husband now attend the Green Cove Springs Church of Christ. In 1999 through her battle with breast cancer Brenda rediscovered her love for writing. In 2007 when she became bedbound for many years with an undiagnosed GI problem, she used that love to reach out to a woman name Peggy Walker who was also homebound with illness. At Peggy’s insistence, Brenda began writing Ladies Bible Study Material.
