Hi! Karen Salas here…From my seat, at my desk and in the Body, I have the rare privilege of seeing you lovely people live your lives with HIM. I am in awe of you! This month it is my privilege to invite Miles and Roxanne Fisher to our newsletter lead story. I asked them to share their story this month of February as a testimony of true love…devoted to HIM and married 37 1/2 years!
We have been members of Los Altos Grace Brethren Church since 1988. Our four children – Elizabeth, Wesley, Andrew, and Jesse – attended preschool through 6th grade at Los Altos Brethren, went on to Brethren Christian High School, and received their degrees at Christian Universities (Grace College, Calif Baptist Univ, and Vanguard Univ). Three of our kids and 5 grandchildren live in our Westminster neighborhood; Andrew’s family with 2 grandchildren live in Paia, Maui, HI 🙁

At the age of 21, a young lady I knew told me about her new experience with Jesus Christ, and she encouraged me to also accept Jesus.
