 Welcome

You've landed on my personal website, primarily designed to provide information related to Biblical counseling and the ladies Bible teaching ministry that I am engaged in. (I've also added a section on my rose garden, which is a fitting symbol of the Christian work and spiritual growth that is involved in teaching and counseling others!)

The Bible study book, Glimpses of God as Revealed Through His Names, is finally available!  It can be purchased through Regular Baptist Press.

For those wanting to order ladies' Bible study or counseling books, go to "Resources" or to "Links" where you will find the Ironwood website. 

For those wanting biographical information for ladies' conferences, go to "About Debi."

For those wanting the latest update on my husband's medical condition, go to "News."

For those wanting an explanation of Biblical counseling, go to "Biblical Counseling?"

For those needing counseling handouts on various topics, go to "Helps."

For those wanting to know  where I will be speaking or dates available, go to "Calendar."

For those wanting my e-mail address or contact information in order to reach my secretary, go to "Contact."

For those interested in locating my son, daughter or son-in-law's websites, (among others I am connected to) go to "Links."

For those who are interested in the TLC ladies Sunday School class and class notes, Bible reading schedule and upcoming events, go to the "TLC" section.

And finally, for those interested in seeing pictures of the rose garden, go to the rose garden section.

The garden requires a gardener and lots of labor--likewise, planting new Christians and helping others grow in their Christian faith requires both a willing laborer and lots of TLC, time and effort.  Yet none of our labor could produce a thing if God did not provide the laborer with everything that is needed to grow a beautiful garden and everything that is needed to grow spiritually healthy, happy people. Only God can create a rose for the gardener to plant and care for and only God can create a new life in Christ and bring about change and maturity!  What a marvel that we are given the privilege of being laborers together with God, and are also given the tools, resources and abilities needed for our work.

So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.  (I Corinthians 3:7-9)

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.  According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust [sinful desires].  (2 Peter 1:2-4)
