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

Chrome Commodes and Other Idols
The heavy metal door swung closed with a clang, and I was alone in the drunk tank. (That’s what they call the solitary confinement room in my local jail.) The block walls and cement floor are bare. A shiny chrome commode adorns one corner. It seems larger than it is because it is the only…

Of Nails and Sparrows
Heman was an important man. He was the grandson of Samuel, the prophet, in the Old Testament days of conquest. He was a Levite, of the tribe of Levi, specially chosen to serve God in regard to the holy things of the tabernacle. Talented. Pedigreed. Chosen. Capable. During David’s reign, Heman was appointed as a…
Keep readingThe Chicken or the Egg?
I collect eggs from my chicken coop everyday. It’s an opportunity to practice philosophy: Which came first? The chicken or the egg? Philosophy is limited, however. It only leads full circle. If there weren’t any eggs, there would cease to be chickens. And if there weren’t any chickens, there wouldn’t be any eggs. I found…

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.”
