My name is Gloria Cotten. I am wife to Michael, mother to Sam, Ben and Joseph who are all grown up and married, making me mother-in-law to Martha Margaret, Heather, and Jessica and grandmother to seven of the brightest, most lovable kids on earth. I am a blessed woman!

I am retired from ministry now and enjoying making quilts and loving up on my grandchildren. God does not change. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. But God’s children are constantly changing; our lives are never-ending transitions. How else would we become like Him?

Michael started out a lawyer and ended up a minister. I started out a newspaper reporter and ended up a minister. Life takes interesting turns! Along the way we have raised a family, planted a church , made a lot of good friends, and learned a lot of good stuff which we like to share. Truth is helpful. Please let me know when that proves to be true with something you read on this blog!
