• Comment to those looking at my sermons: Know that God has given me a word that is to bless His people. It is NEVER about me, Always about the glory of GOD.
• Sermon or series that made a difference: Faith, and Trusting God, not giving Up.
• One of my favorite illustrations: When I use soap operas. Example: I tell them; You have Just One Life to Live,
• Family: Married 17 Years, husband Robert H. Rogers Jr. 2 children/ 4 bonus children, a total of 6 children together, 5 living 1 deceased. We have 24 grandchildren, 1 deceased 4 1/2 great-grandchildren, I am the next to the youngest of 7 children, on my father's side, I am the youngest on my mother's side who only has 3 children. Both of my parents are deceased.
• What my parents think of my sermons: I am sorry to say, that I will not get to ask them until I get on the other side. They have both gotten their wings before I was called into the ministry.
• What my spouse (really) thinks of my sermons: He feels that I am growing, and getting better, that I should put more oomph into it.
• Best advice given to me about preaching: It came from my older sister when she said that she already knew that I was going to be a preacher, and Ishe was glad to see my trial, and to see my growth, to continue to let God use me and I will be just fine.

• Hobbies: I enjoy spending time with my family. I am very blessed to be close to my husband's family, we are not in-laws, we are family, siblings, we spend as much time together as possible, as well as my children and family. I enjoy, reading, and writing, journaling. I am currently in school and fulfilling my dream of getting my college degree.
• If I could Preach one more time, I would say...: Trust In The Lord; This Is Not The Time Time To Give Up On Him Now.
• Something funny that happened while preaching: My skirt button popped loose and I didn't know if my skirt was going to fall down before I finished my sermon, but I just kept on preaching, because I was in the heat of my sermon.
• What I want on my tombstone: A loving Wife, Mother, Grandmother, and Servant of God
