Not
many would expect that Barbara Johnson would find much to be happy
about after losing one son in Vietnam and a second to a drunk
driver. Her third son disowned her as he embraced a gay
lifestyle. Instead of succumbing to the grief and depression one
would certainly expect, Barbara Johnson founded Spatula
Ministries, a joy-infused ministry to hurting parents. Known
for her signature geranium and clever book titles, Barbara Johnson
is a frequent speaker at the Woman of Faith
Conferences.
Barbara Johnson has guided millions of hurting women through the
tunnel
of despair with her best-selling books, including Plant a
Geranium in
Your Cranium, Living Somewhere Between Estrogen and Death, and
Stick a Geranium in Your Hat and Be Happy. Her books
have sold more than 5 million units to date. Founder of the
nonprofit Spatula Ministries, she delivered her comforting,
humor-filled message of love across the
country as a featured speaker on the Women of Faith tour for six
years.
She is now speaker emeritus and continues encouraging from her
home. |

About our
people pages:
Because many visitors have asked for more information
about particular people whose words appear on the site,
we'll try to give you as much information as we can about
individuals. The Amazon links should give you access
to works by the author, though at times they'll display
other books if the author has written an essay or
introduction for those books. |

Forgiveness
enables you to bury your grudge in the icy earth and
put the past behind you.
You flush resentment away by being
the first to forgive.
Forgiveness fashions your future.
It is a brave
and brash thing to do.
The gutsiest decision you can make.
As you
forgive others, winter will soon make way for springtime as fresh joy
pushes up through the soil of your heart.
Forgiveness is a stunning principal, your ticket out of hate and fear
and chaos.
I know what regret feels like; I’ve earned my credentials.
But I also know what forgiveness feels like, because God has
so graciously forgiven me.
Forgiveness frees you of the past so
you can make good choices today.
Barbara Johnson
