We asked Sherri a few questions to help you get to know her.
Did a parent or grandparent say something to you that you have remembered for a lifetime? Three weeks before her death, I was visiting with my grandmother, who was a very committed Christian. When I asked her what advice she could give me, she grabbed my hands and said, “No matter what happens, just trust Him. Just trust Him!” I have gone back to her words many times when I’m dealing with doubt and fear.
What or who inspired you to become an author or singer or preacher? Ruth Vaughn, a prolific writer back in the 70s and 80s who was connected with my church, was the keynote speaker at the first Christian writers conference I went to (Colorado Christian Writers). I’ll never forget something she said: “God can make creative use out of your misery.” That inspired me to write out of my pain and help others. I’ve seen God do just that many times.
What crazy/embarrassing/funny thing happened to you at a writers conference or while pulling your manuscript together. At the Colorado Christian Writers Conference (many years after my first one), I was on faculty. While getting ready for the day, I accidentally brushed my teeth with Ben Gay (the tube was laying right beside the toothpaste). It was like Chernobyl going off in my mouth!
