Hey everyone. This is Durenda Wilson. Welcome to this week's podcast. I'm so glad you're here today. If you are a new

listener, you may not know anything about me. So I wanted to let you know that I'm married to Daryl. We've been married for

29 years. We have eight kids. They are ages 13 to 27. We have our sixth grandbaby on the way.

rather surprising. I, you guys are going to laugh. I am allergic to green beans. Who knew? I think I can, I think I can deal with

was that and there was pretty much all dairy except for eggs and all kinds of other things.

Wheat and gluten. Nothing was off the charts except for the green beans. But they were sensitivities
