"Ed and I were over 50 and already grandparents, when God called us to be parents again through the miracle of adoption. Most people told us we were nuts. Some praised us as saints. Honestly, God broke our hearts. The statistics of the 163 million orphans around the world became personal to us. God calls us and equips us to make a difference - one child at a time. My passion for orphans is reflected in my signature line: "UNTIL ALL HIS CHILDREN HAVE HOMES."

"My Granny Lucille was the STORYTELLER in our family. She passed the anointing on to me. What a joy for me to encourage and celebrate the STORYTELLER in others who hear me speak and read my stories, and also in the next generation of my own family! My 12 year old granddaughter, Megan Norwood, and I wrote a story about her life that was published in the September 2010 issue of Clubhouse Magazine, from Focus on the Family."
