Hello and welcome to my little corner of cyberspace. I'm Lorrie Orr writer and speaker. Come on in and look around. Explore the site and get to know me a little. I'd love to hear from you. Check the "about me" page to find out the story behind the motto "life is short, but wide."

We all know that life is short and very uncertain. But I've learned that a life lived in Christ is wide and abundant in spite of its brevity. From growing up in northern British Columbia to living in the Andean Mountains and the Amazon jungle, my experiences have taught me much about God's faithfulness and the exciting life He offers.

My passion is to communicate the relevance of God and His word in today's culture. I want women to make deliberate life choices based on intimate knowledge of God's character and promises. Life is full of all kinds of experiences - humorous, touching, tragic, and humdrum. I speak about the spiritual lessons I've learned in real life - as a wife, mother of three children, and as a woman who sometimes struggles to find her place in this mixed-up world.

I live in Victoria, British Columbia with my husband Tim. We have five wonderful children - two daughters, a son and a daughter and son-in-law. I'm a writer, and also serve as the Women's Ministry Director of Saanich Baptist Church.
