Sarah Boggs
Owner/Editor
Sarah is a 2003 graduate of Jones High School. After high school, she studied Agribusiness at Oklahoma State University and married her college sweetheart in 2007. She and her husband, Matt Boggs, live in Jones with their three wonderful children, Chloe, Isaac, and Liam. She launched The Jones Journal in March 2019 and primarily writes human interest stories for the blog. Sarah has a deep love for Jesus and for the people and places of Jones, and she hopes by sharing stories about this community, you will fall in love with them too. All of her articles are inspired by the following verse, hoping to focus our attention on the beauty that God has given us in this small community.
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
Philippians 4:8
