About Scrappy Sam
Hello and thanks for dropping by ScrappySam.com!
I’m Samantha Keller (aka Sam), mommy to Kyle, Faith and Kolby, and wife to the amazing Pastor Tim Keller (not the one in New York, I’m taking about the hottie in So CAL).
I believe in a few main things-faith in a BIG GOD, laughter as a remedy to endure the inevitable struggles, and ravishing authentic truth(because life is simply too short for shallow pleasantries).
One of my favorite things to do is tell stories (my grandma used to call them fibs, but now we call it fiction) and you can usually find me either tapping away on my laptop or with my nose in a book (just reread all of Jane Austen, demolished The Hunger Games, and adored Chasing Frances).
I am a reflective chick, in touch with my inner nasty, and have a knack for finding God in the smallest details.
I am girlie, nurturing and a serious lover of words -like “walloping,” “plethora” and “folly.” If you open up my veins, Starbucks Breakfast Blend runs through it, and the rythmic thump of the UCLA clap (but if we don’t win some football games soon I might start telling people I went to Cal instead).
I’ve struggled to embrace the mommy blog label, wanting to be viewed as a more serious writer. But, as God whispers to my heart, I am surrendering my pride and acknowledging His precious truth. I am a different person because I am a mother. I daily sacrifice to these darling rug-rats and they expose not only beauty, but ugliness as well. So, maybe my writing isn’t all serious, but I hope it’s honest, blesses you, and seriously funny.
Thanks for joining me in my beautiful, messy storytelling life!
Samantha
FYI: “Scrappy” is a reference to a fighter mentality and has no reference to scrapbooking. I am not very crafty. At all. Really. I’m also more likely to wear dangerous heels than boxing gloves, but you get the idea.
You can also check out my work in: Everyday Christian, Technorati, The Thinking Person’s Guide To Autism and technology.enhanced
I have recentlycompleted three eBooks for Outreach, Inc. so, watch out eBooks World…I’m taking over! (I’ve got three more in the works…insert evil laugh)
If you have questions, would like to send me a whimsical note, or you want to utilize my fine writing skills, please e-mail me at: sam@scrappysam.com!
Nice to meet you--Sam and Tim

Scrappy Sam, I recently came across your blog about fantasy football. Bravo. You got us males on lock. Keep up the good, refreshing, estrogen breathed yet testosterone laden blogs. My wife loves it too. Check out our blog filmandtheology.blogspot.com! Keep it up.

Sam,
You were kind enough to earlier this month comment on my post 8 Tips To Surviving A Dysfunctional Family During The Holidays. I just wanted to circle back and see how your holidays went.
Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian,
Thanks for following up. I am doing great. Finally on vacation with my family and looking forward to writing every day this week after a madcap month of Christmas chaos. I pray you have a Happy New Year and offer up a raised glass to another great year of writing!

We are a crazy bunch -that’s true. And we love to laugh. I think it’s important to take God seriously and myself, not so much. Looking forward to reading more of your work.
Blessings,
Sam
