Hi, and welcome to my website. I’m a wife, mom, columnist, author, former church-land employee, M.Div grad and most of the time, a coffee chugging chauffeur to whatever teenager is around and dog walker to our two Bernese Mountain Dogs here on the north shore of Boston.
Latest News:
I’m a winner! I recently won first place for a humor column in the New England Newspaper and Press Association’s (NENPA) Better Newspaper Competition. My [award winning] column, The Baird Facts, has been running for more than 18 years in a variety of local papers. Currently it runs in the Ipswich Local News.
I’ve written three theology-for-everyone books, The Healed Heart of Christmas, Exodus to Advent: God’s Christmas plan for you, and for me and Echoes of I AM: Life’s Big Questions Answered in God’s Great Name
In addition, I write essays, Bible studies, and articles. I spent 11 years, as the Director of Women’s Ministries and Adult CE coordinator at First Presbyterian North Shore, Ipswich where I learned the importance of what it means to be the ‘person who knows how to make the coffee’ in a church setting along with all the church-land things.
Thanks for visiting and reading. Feel free to contact me at esclaw@hotmail.com. I love my Regular Readers!
