I’m a writer who believes the ordinary becomes extraordinary in Christ.

I used to think I’d have life figured out by the time I grew up. More than six decades in, I can confidently say: I do not. But I know this much: I’m a saved-by-grace sinner. And that’s what matters most.

I’ve spent much of my life surrounded by books and words—as a teacher, writer, editor, and lifelong reader. I’ve written devotions, Bible studies, articles, and Sunday school lessons, and these days I’m also writing fiction.

Here, I write about faith, books, home, creativity, and the ordinary things that make up an ordinary life—because I’m increasingly convinced those small things matter.

I’m a wife, mom, reader, knitter, and Midwest girl who is still learning to pay attention to what God is doing right in front of me.

I’m so glad you’re here.
