About Me

Hi, I’m Beth—wife to Ron, mom to Brad and Jason, and “Grandma B” to a few energetic little boys who remind me daily that joy can be loud and messy. We live in Texas now, close to family, where you’ll often find me building Legos, reading picture books, or exploring the local park with my grandsons.

For much of my life, I’ve been an educator—teaching in classrooms across three states, serving as principal in two elementary schools, and mentoring teachers along the way. Though retired, I still can’t stay away from learning. I tutor, teach online, and love cheering on today’s educators.

More than anything, I’m a follower of Jesus. He sought me and drew me to Himself when I was young, and His grace continues to shape my life. Over the years, the Bible has become my steady companion—whether reading a few verses, entire books, or aloud with others, I’m still amazed at how fresh and living God’s Word remains.

Writing is one of the ways I slow down and listen—to Scripture, to God, and to my own heart. This space is where I share those reflections: brief devotionals, glimpses of grace, and encouragement for anyone learning to walk closely with Christ.

If you’re curious about Jesus, the Word, or something I’ve written, I’d love to hear from you at simply.bethf@gmail.com.

My prayer for you is this: May you delight in God, knowing the fullness of His love. May you find Him to be your strength, peace, and provision—and as you draw close to Him, may goodness and joy overflow to those around you.
