About This Blog
When I think about this blog, I think about connecting the dots. That’s what I want this little online space to represent. A place where we can connect the dots between everyday things and meaning and significance we may have otherwise missed. A place to connect the dots between people like us and people far different from us.
Put simply, I want this blog to connect us to something bigger, and to each other.
Ultimately, that’s what a dot-to-dot does. It connects seemingly random points into a solidified whole. It connects seemingly contradictory placements into unified similarities. It makes a beautiful picture out of what appears purposeless.
That’s the goal. It’s still yet to be determined whether I hit the mark. Stick around, read awhile, and you be the judge.
About Me
I was born and raised in Northern Virginia just outside Washington DC. While Washington is a city I love to visit, now, when I graduated high school, I knew putting some distance between me and it was a good thing. So after high school I moved an hour north of Pittsburgh where I attended Grove City College and majored in Christian Thought and a got a Christian Ministry auxiliary. As graduation approached I started to worry—along with my parents who had been concerned since the day I declared my major—about how either of these would do me any good in the real world; something that would have been helpful to consider prior to second semester senior year.
Following graduation I worked for a year at a children’s home in Tennessee for at-risk kids and then moved to Wyoming to work at a guest ranch in Jackson Hole for six months. I cleaned cabins and washed dishes, and “thought Christian thoughts” but wasn’t sure what would come next until I unexpectedly landed an interview and then a job in the Children’s Ministry of North Point Community Church just outside Atlanta, Georgia. I worked there for two years, before transitioning into student ministry at DASH Student Ministry and then finally to the ReThink Group in 2008. Since then I have worked as a writer and editor for the student curriculum and been a contributing writer to the Orange Parents blog since 2012. Big sigh of relief for my parents and me. Christian Thought for the win.
My husband, Rodney, and I live in Roswell, Georgia with our two boys Asher and Pace.
My two great loves are my family and the Church and this blog is written with both in mind.
Hi! I’m Sarah, wife to Rodney, mom to Asher and Pace, and writer—although I’m still trying to figure out how to do all three of those things. Sometimes I like books more than people, and all of the time I like French fries more than salad. I live in Georgia but I dream of the mountains.
