Like, I&#8217;d be fine playing with them all day and shirking all responsibility if I could get away with it. My husband is Egyptian; how cool is that? Yes, I&#8217;ve been to Egypt, and no, I didn&#8217;t go inside a pyramid&#8211;yet. But I did ride a camel! I&#8217;m a sarcastic cynic and sometimes wonder if I should put more attention to my attitude. But I&#8217;m also total mush and can&#8217;t make it through pretty much any movie without shedding tears, and I almost always cry when I pray, which is embarrassing and therefore I avoid public prayer. My favorite Bible story, hands-down, is Joseph. Love it. God is very real to me&#8211;He gave me a hug when I was 16 and asked Him to, and I&#8217;ve never doubted His existence again. I began my first book in creative writing class in college in 2008&#8230;and finally self-published it in January 2019.
