"Laura, who is now seventeen, has taught me the language of love," Linda explains. Linda has been married twenty-four years and she and her husband Paul also have a teenaged son, Jimmy. Linda explains, "God has turned the 'pits' of my life into stepping stones to encourage and inspire others.

AWSA - The Advanced Writers and Speakers Association - was founded in September of 2000. It is an association to encourage and equip those women communicators of the church who both write books and speak nationally. The members of the group are from around the country.

Most of these women communicators of faith do not have big ministries behind them, and are often busy moms, grand moms and singles who share from their own resources to travel and write to encourage and equip others. AWSA is a place where these women can encourage and equip one another. The annual conference is a huge support to these women. See www.awsawomen.com.
