She basks in 100-degree weather with palm trees, cacti, and a computer with most of the letters worn off. Her newspaper column appeared for several years in newspapers in Texas and North Carolina-"Little Known Facts About the Bible." She spends half her day writing, and the other half teaching English over the internet worldwide using the Bible as textbook. Students she has converted to Christianity are in hiding all over the Middle East. "They are my heroes," she declares. Each morning she sends out an inspirational scripture thought to over 30,000 people worldwide.
