Linda Thornton grew up in Minnesota. She was raised in a Christian home and became saved at 13. After 50 years married to Mike, she still retains just a hint of her Minnesota accent though they haven’t lived there since 1983. She is the mother of 4 (two of which, Staci and Dan, have preceded her and Mike to heaven), and grandmother of 8 (5 in Colorado, 3 in California). Because of Mike’s job, she tagged along to Nebraska, Texas, and several places in California before moving to Colorado where they’ve lived for over 16 years. While living in Southern California, she was a wedding  and reception coordinator at Grace Community Church in San Fernando Valley. She currently counsels women who look to her for wisdom in marriage and other life issues.

Mike Thornton grew up in Southern California during the surfing and hot rod era. After serving as a drill sergeant in the army during Vietnam and a personal downhill slide, he surrendered his life to Jesus Christ. He attended Bible School in Southern California where he met his future wife, Linda. Mike is retired from the communications and oil and gas industries where he sold and managed sales and operations. He is an instrument-rated private pilot, worked with Christian youth, and served on church and Christian school boards. He has written a men’s devotional, Christ in Men…Today, which is available through Amazon. For the last 4 years, he has been a handyman, helping people with electrical, plumbing, and light carpentry. He lives with the love of his life for over 51 years in Colorado Springs and shares the same 4 and 8. To contact Mike, email at: phservices.books@gmail.com.
