For this installment of “20 Questions and a Selfie,” we catch up with Susie Klein, professional blogger and recovering church lady.
Yes, Susie was once a furrowed-browed, finger-wagging church lady: “judgmental, strict and humorless. Her world is small and her view is extra narrow, believing that it is her job to point out sin in those around her. …
“But I let a smile cover my fear of not being good enough. …
“God is pleased with me today, now, in all my ordinariness and goofiness!”
