Jen's (Rarely Updated) Blog

George and I moved back to Colorado in October (2011). We are very happy to be home. George got a job out here which is why we moved back.

Jen first felt called to ministry while teaching Christian Education at her home church in Colorado. As she went through school and discerned God’s call for her life, Jen realized that ministry can come in many forms.

There might be a lesson in that…or maybe I’ll just enjoy that they love to sing when it’s dark out.
