3. When I have free time (and even when I don’t have “free” time) I love to do things with my youngest son – blaze trails through our woods, civil war re-enactment, just being with him. Having traveled through the horrible disease of cancer with him, I know that our time here may be short and we need to make “free” time for the people and things truly important to us!
1. I live in the Greater Denver, Colorado area
2. I am 48
3. At this moment in life I have been blessed with the enjoyment of loving and being loved by an incredible man. I am learning that had I listened long ago it was His intent all along, but I had lessons on what REAL love looked like first in God and then myself !
I most enjoy spending my free time here in Colorado out on hikes/walks, looking forward to the wamer weather to be out camping, fishing and hiking our beautiful mountains sharing those times with the people I cherish!

Needless to say, I enjoy reading a good book while vacationing at the beach with my family. I am so thankful God created the shore lines and beautiful beaches for our enjoyment!

Vanessa Wynn from Virginia in the United States. Age 40. Spare time? What does that mean? I have five children, ages 18, 16, 12, 12, & 10, so my time is spent doing whatever the sport of the season is – football, basketball, track, and baseball. I work full time outside the home and run continuously with my young men. My daughter is 18, so she does not require as much as a college student, but still am there for her every step of the way. So that is my very blessed life. I do LOVE to read, walk in the woods, look at the stars, hear the trees sing, and water flowing when I do have a moment to myself.
My name is Teresa. I am always a day or two behind in reading your weekly posts. I am so thankful that God has let me live an abundant life for 55 years. When I do get a little free time I love being with my family, cooking, and working in my church.
I live in FL. I’m 37 and in my free time I love to hang out with my husband, read, take pictures, and run.
I live in Minnesota about 45 minutes north of the twin cities.
I am 49 and trying not to think about turning 50 later this year. I know I’ll be okay when it gets here.
I don’t have a lot of spare time so I am way behind in this study, but I love what I have read so far. When I do have free time, I love to read, crochet, play with my cats (we foster for a rescue group), and be with my husband of almost 20 years (May 1st).

I like playing bass guitar at my church and with my Christian Motorcycle band, riding motorcycles and scrapbooking.
You sound like someone I’d like to meet! Had to sell our motorcycle when my husband died last year. I see people riding, and I want to jump on! My brother is the president of his local CMA chapter, and we all play instruments here. Wish you could join us! Blessings, Kelly B.
Hi Kelly! I’m sorry for your loss. My husband and I both ride. He rides a little more than me. I don’t like riding in the cold! But with the weather in the 70’s this week, I’m going to get mine out and go for a spin! We were introduced to CMA back in Sept by my best friend and just completed the Basic Ministry course and became members (Florence, SC chapter). I don’t know if you are in SC are not, but it would be really cool to meet you! Your Sister in Christ, Marie
