Being Christ in Our Lives: Ann Farrell Pulliam

Ann Farrell Pulliam teaches me a lot. Always has, in the nine years we’ve known each other. She’s a annpulliam_may2014newsletter_201405devoted wife, mother, and daughter, and is studying to become a hospice chaplain.

One of the greatest lessons I learned from her came when she was battling colon cancer (she’s cancer-free now, praise God) and graciously accepted whatever those of us in Ann’s Army brought for means, even if it was lasagna three nights in a row and her family might have been dying to order in pizza.

Ii also learn from Ann to be open to the beautiful surprises God has for us, whether they come on the Via Dolorosa or in a crowded restaurant or a peaceful chapel. Who reflects Christ to you?
