From Beauty Pageants To Prison Jane hails from the great state of Nebraska. She has spent most of her life in Idaho living twelve years of it on a cattle ranch in the pristine Saw Tooth Mountains, where crystal clear artesian springs freely flow. Beautiful little winding Spring Creek, trickled over rocks and beaver dams a few feet from the old log house in which her sons played in and fished as they grew up. She is still a farmer and a rancher at heart. Life on the farm and ranch was not without hard work and many tough times. Jane is currently living in southern Idaho on acreage with pasture and a garden, that she calls the “farm and ranch.” Life’s seasons for so many reasons brings with it many heartaches and low self-worth, but, Jane chose to take the wounds and scars of her past, and with God’s help, turn them into seeds of HOPE for those who are still walking in the insanity of their past. Society’s
greatest need (PRISONS), opened a door for, a dream that lay dormant in her
heart for fifty years. And that dream was “doing music.” Her love for county
music and horses has spanned a lifetime. Some of her fondest memories are when she worked and prepared young women for beauty pageants and other competitions. She served as a judge for many horsemanship competitions and loved every moment of it. Jane has spent countless hours counseling and encouraging young people with hurting hearts. Now she extends that compassionate love to the incarcerated around the world. Never in her wildest imagination did she think that concerts, prisons in foreign nations, and two TV programs would open to her - all through a song, words of hope, and encouragement. Jane is now traveling the nations taking the good news of Jesus to a hurting world and in spare time writing books and songs. “I the Lord have called you to demonstrate my righteousness. I will guard and support you, for I have given you to my people as the personal confirmation of my covenant with them. You shall also be a light to guide the nations unto me. You will open the eyes of the blind, and release those who sit in prison darkness and despair. I am the Lord! That is my name, and I will not give my glory to anyone else, I will not share my praise with carved idols. …Sing a new song to the Lord… Isaiah 42: 6,7,8, and 10. TLB If there be any good thing come from my life, all glory goes to Jesus. |
