The Moose -- (click here to contact)

"Moose" is a pastor's wife with a passion for serving the women who are on the front lines of ministry, and providing a safe environment where they can renew themselves both spiritually and emotionally. She wants all pastors' wives to experience God's love to its fullest, as they share their lives and encourage one another. In addition to helping with this website and overseeing the message board, she contributes to the Pastors' Wives Thriving Weblog and manages the blogroll for members of pastorswives.org. She is a few hours shy of a journalism degree, and is looking forward to what God has in store for her when she's able to return to her studies.

Moose has been a pastor's wife in the Southern Baptist Convention since 1993, but she has also served in Lutheran and Methodist churches before marrying a pastor. She helped her husband found Jonathan's Child, Inc. in 1998 to assist families of autistic and special needs children and the churches desiring to serve them. She also occasionally writes for "Fearfully, Wonderfully..." -- the autism and special need ministry blog hosted by Jonathan's Child, and recently set up a blogroll for Christian autism bloggers. She is currently involved in children's ministry, and one day hopes to develop her gifting in the area of music. For entertainment, she enjoys gardening with native plants. Visit her personal blog at The Moose Pond.

Sue is the wife of a wonderfully supportive senior pastor, the owner & webmaster for Pastors' Wives Thriving in the Fishbowl, and mother of two wonderful teenagers. We have been at the same church since 1990, but have been married and in ministry since 1985. In the more than 20 years of ministry, my sole desire has been to follow Christ as wife, mother and pastor's wife. It is a privilege to serve His church through the joys and sorrows that come from living on this fallen earth. Seeking fellowship and mentoring in serving as a pastor's wife, I found a home at Pastors' Wives Thriving in the Fishbowl founded by Amy Osborn. When she closed down the site, she graciously allowed me to re-open the site. My hope is to encourage other pastors' wives to thrive in their "fishbowl" in the grace and love of our Savior.
