Congratulations!

It took about 10 minutes to print on my high school’s dot-matrix printer. When the final flourishes of clip-art rolled out of the printer, I ripped the hole-y edges off the sides of my five-foot paper banner. At my graduation reception, it crowned my shrine of photo albums, news clippings, and guestbook. There was just one problem. While it was supposed to proclaim to family and friends that I had learned what I needed to know, it actually declared that there was still more to … [Read more...]

When It’s April Fools Day More Than Once a Year

By shauna 2 Comments

It’s kind of funny and weird that we have a day devoted to silly pranks. I admit, I don’t really like pulling pranks or having them pulled on me. But I do enjoy a good laugh. And sometimes that means I’m the “April Fool.” Funny that we recognize only it once a year though. Around here it seems like the like the movie Groundhog Day, only instead of February 2nd, it’s April 1, every day. Ok, not every day. But sometimes it seems that way. A few cases to prove my point: First, my … [Read more...]

An Unconventional Valentine

By shauna 2 Comments

It was what you might call an unconventional valentine. Early and unexpected. The best kind. It didn’t come with doilies, construction paper, glue or conversation hearts. There were no chocolates or stuffed animals. It was delivered to me over a table full of Mexican food as we crammed in dinner between parent teacher conferences and basketball practice. As it often does, our dinner conversation turned sour, and we landed on the subject of halitosis--bad breath. I'm not sure … [Read more...]

Gifts of Music and Memory

By shauna 10 Comments

I love music. Photo Credit: TiiaBear In the car, in the kitchen, while I walk, when I worship.  And nearly every kind. I can appreciate a banjo as well as an intelligent rap and just about anything in between.I’m amazed that God would use elements as formulaic and functional as math and physics for a composition so artistic and enjoyable as music.His brilliant combination makes music a powerful tool.Think of the lyrics you know by heart. You have words from entire songs--perhaps entire … [Read more...]

The Essence of a Childhood Summer

By shauna 3 Comments

I don’t want to mention the s-c-h-word just yet, but there are sure signs that summer vacation is winding down.  For instance, our final baseball tournament is in the books. Like ballpark franks on a grill, we sizzled on the bleachers and watched a lot of baseball. Those little boys in grass stained baseball pants—the ones who made sand castles in the dirt at first base--they grew up. They’re pitching fast, hitting hard and the grass stains are gone because the knees have been ripped right … [Read more...]

HI THERE!

I’m Shauna, and I help worn-out Christians find permanent rest and relief by retelling gospel stories that highlight Jesus’ kindness toward ordinary people like us.

In my books and on this blog, I weave history, theology, and fictional detail into a fresh retelling of familiar Bible stories. I started writing them because I needed them. When I shared my stories, people said they made the Bible come to life.

If you could use some permanent rest and relief, download my free Bible story devotional.
