“I need a voice like Michele’s to speak to the seasons in my soul. She’s honest, practical, and inspired. I love her style.” ~ Virelle Kidder, conference speaker and author of five books, including Meet Me at the Well
About Michele
Since 1997, Michele has taken the seemingly ordinary events of life and turned them into practical spiritual applications, first in her weekly newspaper column, and then in her daily radio program, both titled God, Me, and a Cup of Tea. Her column, which placed second in the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association's Keystone Press Awards in 2009, appears in the Indiana Gazette.
Michele’s two books, Minute Meditations: Meeting God in Everyday Experiences, and I Lift Up My Eyes: Minute Meditations Vol. 2 are compilations of her columns and have been sold nationwide.
Michele’s radio program, God, Me, and a Cup of Tea has aired on stations in DuBois, Pa., Indiana, Pa., Augusta, Ga., and Huntsville, Ala. In addition, she has produced three CDs of meditations from the radio program: God, Me & a Cup of Tea: Favorite Meditations, The Ten Commandments and Beatitudes for Today, and Treasures in Jars of Clay: Thoughts on Aging with Grace.
As an inspirational speaker, Michele brings the same humor and poignancy to dinners, women’s retreats and seminars, and community events. She also teaches workshops at writers’ and speakers’ conferences, and is listed with FindChristianSpeakers.com.

Statement of Beliefs
I believe:
• The Bible to be the only inspired, the only infallible, and the only authoritative Word of God.
• That there is only one God, who has always been and will always be, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is through God that all things have come into being.
• In the deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of God the Father, and in His personal return to power and glory.
• That all have sinned and need regeneration by the Holy Spirit in order to receive salvation.
• In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
• In the resurrection of all mankind: the saved, through Jesus Christ, to eternal life; and the lost to eternal damnation.
• In the spiritual unity of believers in Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit.
• That the church of God is comprised of everyone who has believed in and has received Jesus as Savior and Lord of their life, regardless of denomination.
• That God made us to know, love, and serve Him in this world.
