I have my blog listed as part of the M2M ministry at Lisa's The Preacher's Wife website. It's a fun way for other pastor's wives to connect. Here's my entry!
1. First Name. - Cora, after both of my grandmothers who were both named Cora and were both born on May 1st. I was born in October....
2. State and Country of Residence. - California, United States
3. Husband’s Ministry Title. - Senior Pastor
4. Length of time in Current Ministry Location. - 4 and a half years - this is our first pastorate after graduating from The Master's Seminary in 2005
5. Children? If yes, give gender and ages. - Two children - a 9 year old girl and an almost 3 year old boy - an adopted sibling set who are Native Alaskan
6. Number of unique homes in which you’ve lived during your marriage. - nine, five homes and four apartments. One sticks out because it was a parsonage that kept falling apart - my dog even tore the back porch off the foundation and the kitchen ceiling crashed to the floor one morning!
7. Cook Sunday lunch or eat out? Cook Sunday lunch (usually in the crockpot) and then TV or nap time - hubby usually returns to church after an hour or so home with us. My favorite days are the Sundays he cooks!
8. Typically on time for Sunday School or not? Ours is called Family Bible Hour. Usually I am on time or early - especially if I'm in nursery or teaching a women's class. However, the kids and I have a tradition; if they get ready early, we head to the local donut shop for breakfast. If they run late, no breakfast at all (at least for them)....
9. Favorite TV Show. - I love Nick at Nite and TV Land - Home Improvement and I Love Lucy are my two favorites to catch whenever I can.
10. Something you watch/like/do that you would never tell the church people. (Except now you just did…lol) - play the nickel slots at the local casino - give me $10 and I'll play as long as I can :)
11. Most annoying church-related pet peeve. - expecting my husband and I to do EVERYTHING!
12. One thing you need to throw away but can’t bring yourself to do it. - my teddy bear. It was a Christmas gift from my mother the year before she graduated to heaven. Teddy is over 20 years old and is falling apart - and yes, sometimes I still sleep with him, especially when Glen isn't home.
13. The one food you can not live without. - Milk or white chocolate...Is there any other food in the world? My current favorite is the Hershey's Milk Chocolate. I've had a long time addiction to Snickers.
14. Parsonage or have your own home? We rent a home about a block from the church. My dream is to someday own a home about a 30 minute drive from the church.
15. Freak when the doorbell rings or always ready for a visitor? Our policy is that the first time you are at our house you are a visitor, after that you're family. Therefore, I'm always ready for a visitor. We have an open door - come see us. However, if the door is closed and the blinds are closed, don't bother knocking. We won't answer if we're home.
