Sarah Laughed

Alone in the desert following the voice of a god only her husband knew, she’d reached the end of all her clever schemes. She was 90 now – 90 – and it seemed that life was settled. Just a few more breadcakes, maybe a few more Springs and then, Last Breath. But like a time warp sequence in a sci-fi movie, Sarai’s life takes a sudden and unexpected turn toward More. Her name is changed to match the rest of her story. And then…and then…impossible, wonderful things come from the Lord. Belief bubbles up, hope awakens and laughter balloons from deep inside. And the belly bump.“Why did you laugh, Sarah?” we all wonder. “That’s a good question,” she answers. “When did you stop?”
