Mary Puplava is a daughter, sister, wife, mother of three sons, and grandmother of six. She’s now retired from being “The Glue” as webmaster, bookkeeper, human resources and office manager, carpooler, cheerleader, volunteer, pediatric registered occupational therapist, and oldest girl of nine. At Gathering Place Church, she is a member of the Leadership Team for Visitor Greeting and Growth Track Coordinator, and Prayer Team. She has served on the Women’s Council for many years. For several years, she has participated on a daily prayer call and state prayer calls. Mary spent decades serving others, but her heart was always to write to and for women. She authored a Christian women’s newsletter and two blogs that were abandoned due to workload and being called out of retirement for another six years. She gets you because she’s been you. But not anymore. Her prayer vigil and personal journey have prepared her for such a time as this. She caught God’s vision of her real me and began to live her faith life out loud. She is currently publishing a daily “Today I prayed about...” on social media. Mary lives in Poway, California, with her husband and their rescue dog, Wellington.
