About Me

Hi there! I’m Beth.

A writer with one desire: to remind you that the ordinary is extraordinary in Christ.

When I was much younger, I thought I’d have life all figured out by the time I was grown up. I’ve been a grown-up for more than six decades now. And I still don’t have everything figured out.

Except for one thing. I’m a saved-by-grace sinner. And that’s all that matters.

(These words say it best.)

My career path is full of detours including some fumbling around as a hotel maid and a church bookkeeper, and many good years as a high school and college English teacher. Throughout it all, I’ve been a writer and editor.

My first published article was a high school baseball story in our local newspaper. I was nineteen. I knew almost nothing about baseball, but I learned to ask questions.

Over the years, I dabbled in journalism, advertising, and then teaching all those things I love.

Books, words, faith.

I’ve published lots of devotions, Bible studies, features, and Sunday school lessons. Lately, I’ve been editing my first novel. 

By far, my favorite vocations are as a wife and mom.  My husband and I have been married almost 40 years — holy smokes! We’ve lived in lots of places, but after raising our son and daughter in Utah, we returned to the Midwest to be closer to family.  

I’m not an expert in theology, fashion, cooking, deep thinking, or even writing and literature. But I write about all those things.

Thank you for joining me!
