The Storyteller’s Daughter Pt. 3 (The Big Move)
God had a change of plans for us, and soon we were moving to Pennsylvania. I felt sad to leave our church family, but also excited. My dad was going to pioneer a new church. We had to live in a tent for a few weeks, but God had a nice ranch house for us…
The New American Male . . . God Help Us!
I remember the first time I saw photos of Barack Obama riding a girl’s bicycle while wearing a helmet. I was literally stunned by how effeminate he looked. I couldn’t believe his White House communications staff could make such a blunder. Before Obama, every President went to extraordinary lengths to make certain no photographs of…

The Story Teller’s Daughter (The Beginning)
“Rise and shine for the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.” Those were the words that my sister and I woke up to as our dad, Charles Wesley Elwell, would throw open our bedroom door and flick on the lights. Daddy was serious about serving Jesus. But it hadn’t always been that way. …
