I am privileged to be among this group of Christian women bloggers. I feel that deeply. I am also privileged to present things on my mind to those who visit here, and desire to keep that trust in mind.
I have to say, before I give any other introduction of myself, that I am not an intellectual. I wish I was, and I appreciate those - and those on this blog are among them - who truly qualify. This is not false modesty and would simply become apparent soon enough. What I am, to define myself, is a Thinking Woman, and that is why I am excited to be here. To join in the interchange of ideas and opinions on the big things of life, to be part of the joy of learning and growing with others.
I'm older than many of the women here... and perhaps than many readers, although my demographic is growing in online participation- I'm a fifty-something. I've been blogging since I started on upsaid in 2003. I have ten children, half of that number grown and making their own lives, we homeschool, I've been married for thirty-something years, and have been a born-again Christian since 1973. Quick summary of over thirty years!
I'm a little more rough and ready in discussions than the average, and my own blog TrueGrit has examples of that trait; it is one that is under examination. I think life, and certainly the Christian walk is something that is regularly under examination. That is part of what I bring to the table: questions and probing for the truth. I get a little too excited when I find myself in the company of others who like to hash things out this way. Bear with me.
I will be extending the about-me section on my own blog in the future and you can pursue that route to satisfy any further curiousity ( hey-people like to kill time in any number of ways ).
I look forward to our conversations here: disagree, refute, applaud, correct, elaborate, but please join in as much as possible... it is so much better with you involved.
