Forgiven much, Loving much
Hi! I’m Sarah, and I’ve been forgiven and changed by Jesus Christ. He is teaching me that those who have been forgiven much also love much. When we draw forgiveness out of Christ’s well, He satisfies our thirst and enables us to love Him with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all our strength.
"Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation." With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. ~Isaiah 12:2-3

Calls to abolish ICE grew louder this weekend as another protestor lost his life when he interfered with Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. It is difficult to watch the video footage.

Not for the Faint of Heart
I teach a children’s Sunday School. It is not for the faint of heart, and not just because you might get hit with a spitball or handed a “cootie.” (“Could you squish this, teacher? I found it on my sister’s head.”) Last semester, we worshiped by singing a song called, “Sing Wherever I Go.” Some…

Loving Leviticus
Leviticus gets the short end of the stick. Pastors rarely exhort congregants to start their Bible reading in Leviticus. Adjectives for the book abound: boring, dense, antiquated, dull. To most, it is a list of rules for an ancient people who weren’t able to keep them. But David found treasure in the book of Leviticus.…

About
I love reading, writing, and living stories. Adventure stories are my favorite.
I’m a home educator (a.k.a. mom) and a pastor’s wife (a.k.a. jack of all trades). I have found that following Jesus is the greatest adventure.
I write articles, Bible lessons, and books, including my latest novel, “The Winning of Lady Wisdom.”
