Show Notes

It was super fun to get to interview someone I only slightly knew before. Debbie Blackburn has spent most of her married life in the same little town I grew up in. She was a fixture of my youth because I always saw her driving a school bus. But learning about her history and about her struggles and blessings has given me a whole new appreciation for this woman. She talks about her conversion story--about the kind neighbors who shared not only sugar but the Gospel of Jesus Christ with her. They taught her and answered her questions using the Holy Bible. I don't know the couple that helped her learn, but I think they are the kind of people I want to be. They have impacted her life for generations to come. And Debbie finds strength in her family heritage of strong and resilient people. This was an excellent conversation.
