Roots of Old

As I prepare to present the Lyrical Reads Old Testament Roots book series, I will share my own roots.

I grew up in a Catholic Christian faith tradition, raised in a loving home. 

I am blessed with a joyful confidence that I attribute to a certainty of God’s loving presence in my life.

It is this joy born of trust in our loving God that I most wish to share with others through my work.

God has blessed all of us with grounding roots, and he has made these roots accessible to his people. Our roots come alive in scripture

What the Holy Spirit has revealed to my heart through scripture, experience, and creation, I have composed in poetry, story, song, and prayer.

As a young mother and church catechist, I used my writings and songs for teaching children.

Along my faith journey, my appreciation for the depth and richness of the Bible has only increased.

I continue to be inspired to retell these biblical gems in a poetic and lyrical way to nurture our children, and even, delightfully, when venturing into adult catechesis.
