What on Earth am I Here For?
"Several years ago I asked God to show me my purpose in life. Initially, I knew
my purpose was to give birth and bring up my children in the way of the Lord.
Once they were grown and away I sought again. Along my life's journey I had
begun the newsletter and taught women in the church and did a lot of
counseling of younger women. God showed me that I need to continue writing,
speaking and counseling younger women by showing the need of so many
women around me."
Currently Glenda lives in Pontiac, Michigan and attends the Rochester Hills
Church of Christ, with her husband Evangelist J C Thomas, Jr. J C is the
Director of Diversity, at Rochester College, as of January 3, 2005. Glenda is
continuing her education at Rochester College.

Focused Study of the Relationships of Bible Women"
