God's Velvet Hammer

God called Sandy as a completely unremarkable little girl from a small town of 6000 in Southern Illinois. Her father didn't graduate from the 8th grade and left home at fifteen to go work in the CCC Camps to send money home to his struggling family. Sandy¿ s mother did not finish high school, sang, played basketball, and loved politics. Her parents met at a rodeo and married six weeks later. There's a great story about Sandy¿ s impatient dad-to-be being early to pick her mother-to-be up for one of their first dates only to find her on the roof of the barn playing her fiddle trying to dry her pin curled hair. This is the beginning of Rios¿ s story about how God uses unlikely people for great things.
