Take a guess
The Sam Scrapbook
Sam builds our app, wins our games, and bakes the cookies. This is where we keep the receipts. New pages get taped in as they happen.

“Sam this is cruel.”

She built the app
Not helped build. Built. If you are reading The Pour Over on your phone, you are standing inside something Sam made.
Any given team night
Do not play games with Sam
“She takes games very intensely. You have been warned.”
The rest of the staff, unanimously
Whenever we are lucky
The caramel-pretzel cookies
Excellent. Not up for debate. The only real complaint anyone has ever registered is that there were not more of them.
Since birth

Sam has a lot of cousins. Every attempt to pin down the exact number has ended in a revised, higher number.

We are pretty sure Sam sleeps
The evidence is thin. She fits a suspicious amount of work into 16 to 18 waking hours, and nobody has produced proof of the other six.
Come for Sam, stay for the news
The Pour Over is free, politically neutral, and Christ-first news in your inbox three times a week. Sam built the app you will read it on.
