About

Rev. Gramma
Arizona

Bio: I'm an ordained minister; a wife, mother, and grandma; and I'm a writer. Until May of 2014 my email address was alaskapreacher; and now it's revgramma. I am officially retired. But hey ... ministers seldom really retire. They just find new opportunities to do ministry. After serving over sixteen years as pastor of an historical Tlingit Indian church in Southeast Alaska's temperate rainforest, I retired and moved to hotter and drier Payson, Arizona, where I was happy to find monsoon seasons and occasional snow. I love being Gramma, and adding it to my list of titles has opened up a whole new dimension to my life, with its unique responsibilities and joys. And besides over a thousand-some sermons to my name, what I really like best is writing little inspirational nuggets, like I did for a number of years in a popular column for a little newspaper in Alaska. I enjoy the challenge of getting the point across without being "preachy". I’m someone who looks at the world and sees God in the ordinary, everyday people and things around me, and in the surprising blessings that come my way with such perfect timing. Some people call it coincidence or serendipity. I call it "That God Thing".
