Something you may not know about Joneal....

Francis Chan,
 author of Crazy Love and Forgotten God
I have many, many friends who have been very patient, tolerant and uncomplaining over the years. They support me, pray for me, care for me and generally, just put up with me.
They also know me very well...
here are few things they may know, but you may not.
I was very blessed and honored to be able to speak at a Family Conference in Malibu, CA on the Pepperdine University Campus with Francis Chan. He was awesome, inspiring, quirky, spirit-led, passionate, hyper, entertaining, and a living man of God. He blessed me and it was an honor to share the same venue with him and his lovely wife.

Buttermilk on the right
I own two horses. I had horses as a child and when my husband and I married after college, I sold them. He had always told me that one day we would raise horses again. But instead we raised kids. And then, 4 years ago on my ___ birthday, he surprised me with a golden palomino mare, who was pregnant. So a month down the road, I was the proud and surprised owner of a baby palomino stud.  Quite a guy my hubby is. I love him and my sweet baby Zip. I've since sold my mare and now have another one - a beautiful bay named Buttermilk. Tall, athletic and super sweet. My baby Zip, is now 4 years old and not as big as his daddy, Badger, but he's a good size and so nice. Took about an hour though to get winter's knots out of his white tail the other day.

More later, tater.  Thanks for hanging out with me.

Zip, my palomino colt
Blessings!
