    The Urgency of Slowing Down | Interview with Laura Smith

She describes her work like this: “I tell stories (through writing and speaking) in hopes of helping others discover what took me so long to see: God’s amazing grace is abundant and free for the taking. We can’t earn it. And we don’t have to. All we have to do is accept it. And when we do, surely goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives.”   She lives in the picturesque college town of Oxford, Ohio, with her husband and the youngest of their four kids (the other three are off on their own awesome adventures).
