L. Goehri Etheridge

Dr. Myrna L. Etheridge brings the pain of a dyslexic childhood and the experiences of many losses and victories to you through her account of what she found out had to be done after her loved husband of thirty years died. Her compassion was increased by the loss of two sons with another genetic disease. The loss of Grady left an emotional hole in her heart. She wrote from that pain, and the memory of the loss is still part of her past. Yet, she lives, ministers, and carries on regular life. She’s the eldest of four siblings. Two of them are dead. Her parents are deceased, too. Yet she ministers peace and healing to many in many settings. Some even call her Momma Myrna. Her work includes eighteen years in public schools and college teaching. She and Grady ministered together and were named a pair of docs because they held so many college degrees. She has lived out of the USA for six years and ministered in thirty-five nations.

As a master teacher, Dr. Myrna taught biology, private music, and Bible college classes. Her hobbies became her life. She writes about her experience and the hurts and gains insights. She lives life fully each day. Dr. Myrna believes life is only one instant at a time and needs hope and joy. She is active in two local churches and ministers to many individuals as well as to groups. Dr. Myrna takes a short vacation playing her piano and recommends five-minute mini-vacations. She has hope and shares it here.
