Marijo Phelps was saved by His grace in 1974, from 9 years of
professing atheism into His loving arms. She lives with her husband in
the middle of a mountain meadow. She is wanting to spread the good news
about His redemptive plan for our lives through written media. Her name
is pronounced Mary Jo (her dad got cute with the spelling of it). She
was an RN for 23+ years, missionary with YWAM then statistical analyst
for Every Home for Christ over 9 years. She had her first poem
published when she was four years old (her mom might have had more than
a little to do with that!) She has been writing ever since. You can find more of her

I see this website cut off some of the measurements again - I have checked several times and then the fractions disappear - will correct and hope you can print out when it is behaving! Thanks Nenita! Marijo
Marijo, a good article and sounds delicious. But I'm not an accomplished cook. I could take those two bean eggs and fry a plain omelet though. Good work, keep it up.
