Jason and Katie live in Chattanooga,Tennessee with their five Mitchell munchkins: Elijah, Selah, Caleb, Steward, and Aletheia. While Jason and Katie are so thankful to share a life together, they are even more thankful to both share a reliance upon Jesus' death and resurrection to make them right with God. From a young age, God convinced their hearts and consciences that no amount of church attendance, rule-following, charity-giving, or moral effort on their part would ever make them clean enough for heaven. And in His mercy, God wooed Katie and Jason into a living relationship with Him, His Son, and His Spirit. He revealed their sin and self-righteousness and their need for a Savior to die in their place. Jason and Katie love and follow a God who bled. A God who died. A God who now lives again. And this infinite, intimate God still works sovereignly through the details of their lives - even the romantic ones. Ever a lover of song and rhyme, Katie started playing with words as a child and never outgrew the habit. Her writing has appeared in Chicken Soup for the Soul, Love is a Verb Devotional, Tea Time Magazine, HealthScope/CityScope Magazine, and two self-published books. Her infant son's hiccups and husband's use of the non-word, "hickerup" inspired her creation of "Dr. Hickerup: The Hiccup Healing Man" - the first book in the whimsical Up People series where everything is looking up! (www.theuppeople.com) Katherine also graduated from Covenant College with a B.A. in Sociology - but not until after she and Jason were married. When Katherine's not writing, she's doing everything else, and always enjoys a cuppa tea with her husband, girlfriends, or her Creator during the kids' nap time.
