A dozen for her birthday

The second of our dozen portraits of Deanne: This one comes from Spring, 2006. The church youth group wanted to go canoeing. Deanne, committed to a life of adventure as she was, came along as an additional adult so that the kids could have their outing.

"Offer your body as a living sacrifice," Paul said. Deanne has put hers on the line in many kinds of ministry. Along the way, lots of boys and girls have drawn strength from her example and her wise counsel.
