Mrs. Kathy Madraso was born in Los Angeles, California, and grew-up in La Cañada, California with her brother. If she could live anywhere in the world, she would choose to live in Jerusalem. She spent a week there with her daughter, Deena, in 1993. Kathy teaches at LCA because after 24 years of teaching at public schools, she desires to teach in a Christian school. In her free time, she likes to read about the great doctrines (especially justification), spend time with her family, calligraphy and creative doodling. She is married to Lou and they have four lovely, grown daughters: Deena, Trina, Karina and Ilena. She is also the proud grandmother of three grandchildren.

Here are a few of her favorite things:

• Verses: "As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. 4But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved." Ephesians 2:1-5
  AND
  "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
