My Name is Becky Robison. I have been a member at FBC since 2012, and I now work as the secretary for the church. I am a retired teacher, and I’m married to a retired teacher. We have 3 children and 10 grandchildren. I stay busy with the secretarial job, AWANA, crafting and spoiling my grandkids. I came to know Christ in 1980, my senior year in college. I am grateful for what he has done for me and my family. I count my blessings daily, and as Seph Schlueter sings in Counting My Blessings, I can't count that high.
