About the Author
My name is Koreen Guillermo. I am an ordained elder in The United Methodist Church. I am currently serving as the pastor at First United Methodist Church in Deming, New Mexico. Outside of church I like to spend time with my husband, our kids, our two precious and also adorable grandkids (yes, I am a bit prejudiced), and our four dogs. I also like reading and crafty things like sewing, quilting, cross-stitching, and crocheting.
I hope you enjoy reading these tidbits from my thoughts. I also hope they bring a little bit of Jesus to brighten your day.
