I’ve updated my site a little and hope to be writing a little more consistently, a hope that may very well prove to be unfounded since baby #3 is on its way.

I’ve never gotten too personal on here, but I thought I’d share a little more about myself and my family should any of you be interested.

Here we are. The Schuch clan. Don’t let the German spelling scare you. It’s pronounced just like “shoe.”

This is my husband Stephen. He’s a loud and crazy statistician from Pittsburgh. I’m a quiet, book lover from Oklahoma. We met at a Christian world view conference almost 10 years ago. We’ve been married for almost 6 years and he suffers the Texas heat just for me. We just went through an extended period of unemployment, but he is now killing it catching fraudsters with math and data. He’s basically a nerdy detective which is the perfect fit for him. I am so proud of him and thankful for God’s goodness and provision.

This is my oldest Gideon. He loves superheroes (batman is his fav), singing, and all the candy. Currently obsessed with The Greatest Showman Soundtrack. As you can see, he’s quite the brown-eyed, curly-haired charmer. He definitely has my whole heart.

Here’s my little bit, Evelyn. She’s a tiny thing with a lots of personality and a big vocabulary. Her current favorite word is “no,” lots of emphasis added. She is smart and sweet and sassy and lights up my life.

And here is our next addition. Baby brother coming in July. All I know about him so far is that he loves steak. Hope he isn’t expecting such fine dining all the time!

I spend my days with these two and all in all, it’s a pretty great gig.

I call my blog Illuminating Truth because

1) That’s what God’s word does: it illuminates reality so we can see it as it really is.

2) That’s what I hope to do when I write: illuminate the truths of God to make them more accessible to others.

When I find the time and the brain power and I feel like God has given me something to say, I like to sit down and write. To those who have been following me, thank you for reading!
