Mary and Jim Quinn - a comical look at marriage

To listen click here:

This was one of the most enjoyable interviews ever!   What a fun couple!  Great music and a great chat about marriage!

Jim and Mary Quinn are members of Congregation Shema Yisrael in Rochester, New York. The Quinns grew up in Webster, New York, met in high school but didn't date until fourteen years later. Jim was raised Catholic and neither had a close relationship with the Lord. Mary always knew there was a God and gave her heart to Yeshua when she was fourteen. She always felt a special love for the Jewish people.
It took Jim a bit longer to give up his worldly ways, and it took nearly dying in the hospital from drugs and alcohol for him to realize that he needed the Lord. With Mary's help, he turned his life over to Yeshua in April, 1984. Years later, Jim learned of his Jewish roots and once he visited a Messianic congregation he knew, he had found what was missing in his life.

The couple has been together for 31 years, raised two beautiful daughters, and live on a beautiful farm in the Rochester, New York area. Mary retired from teaching art after 38 years, and Jim is currently teaching art at Nazareth College, occasionally displaying his magnificent paintings in local galleries, and playing guitar with the worship team at Shema Yisrael.

Jim and Mary have a unique and comical look at married life and have lots to share about the joys, wonders and challenges of marriage.

Really Cool Music


Listen here:

Shalom!   Hope you're doing well!   Today's show was pretty laid back.   I was grooving to the sounds of Sharon Wilbur, Joel Chernoff, Rachel Washington, Jonathan Settel, Natasha Kraus-Reynolds, Nate Benjamin and Paul Wilbur, not necessarily in that order.   I have to say, when you hear wonderful praise music like this you just can't be depressed -- the words, the music, the rhythms - they all take you to a better place, where God is still on the throne and prayer changes things!

Got a sweet call from my BFF, Diane Beaudoin, and she shared how the Lord healed and strengthened her family.

Hope you will be blessed!

Every day of your life is an opportunity to be a blessing to someone!

Shalom,

Ethel
