Shellie Rushing Tomlinson:  I'm a farmer's wife and totally besotted grandmother of half a dozen beautiful grandchildren I fondly call The Super Six. I fell in love with storytelling as a child when my paternal grandmother regaled us with stories of what it was like to come to Louisiana from the hills of Appalachia and set up house in a tent with a dirt floor. On the other side of the family tree, my maternal grandfather, a people loving preacher, was known for using humor to draw his listeners to Jesus. It's safe to say the two of them marked me. Whether in my books, speaking before audiences, or dropping a segment on my podcast, I love nothing more than helping hungry hearts feast on Jesus through humor and storytelling. Look for The Story Table podcast wherever you listen to your favorites and come visit me at ShellieT.com.
