Shera

Shera, 5 Minutes for Faith's Managing Editor, is a stay at home mom with 6 sons ranging in age from young teen to toddler twins. When she isn't keeping them out of harm's way, working on her mountain of laundry or cleaning the multitude of messes, she enjoys spending time reading, writing and designing blogs.

Through it all though, she finds it amazing how much she can learn about Christ through the everyday joys, triumphs, failures and frustrations! Most of her Devotionals are formed from every day experiences and even the simple truths found during her daily Bible Reading and Journaling.

Shera blogs at A Frog In My Soup, where you can learn even more about the joys, challenges and adventures of motherhood. She also owns and manages a review team at The Moms Review along with occasionally writing for 5 Minutes for Mom.
