In the Beginning.,.

I had a call, a good old-fashioned Call from God. God told me I was going to be a military Chaplain. I couldn’t believe it; couldn’t hear it; didn’t understand what God wanted with a barely working Contract lawyer, former bartender & slightly bitter Preacher’s daughter. And from the moment I had the Call to my admission to buddies to admission to Seminary & swearing into the Army was less than a year. God had other plans & a CLEAR path. All obstacles fell away. Enemies became friends & my bigger purpose in life started speaking and had a name.

I’ll have eternal gratitude to F. Heinrich & all the Anti-Terrorism Taskforce buddies that made me follow that initial Call. Fast forward to January 2012 when God placed a former Army SGT Cavalry Scout in my path in Robinson, IL who supported my mission, and our paths aligned 23 June 2012 in a beautiful wedding in a cave in Bowling Green, KY. My wedding present answered his interest in science, creating, and a love of craft beer. Little did I know I was unleashing my new husband's passion at brewing with that first Irish Stout brew kit. I just remembered he liked Guinness. Our love of craft beer and helping others began that day in 2012.
