About Me

My photo
Middle Tennessee, United States
I was raised in a very close, Christian based middle-class family in a Southern city suburb. I have been married 34 years. I have 2 grown sons, a beautiful granddaughter, and 1 older sister. Our home right now is also home to 3 dogs, 3 cats, and 2 pet chickens! I love music, outdoors, pets, wildlife, and new adventures. I love all of nature and God's many creations and can't imagine a life without a love of God and family, wildlife and the outdoors.

Here we go....my first post!

Today would have been my mother's 100th birthday. As I contemplate my life, my thoughts, it cannot be done without looking back on how I have come to where I am today. The heritage of my family, the love we shared and the love shared by generations before is the starting point for the relationship and views I have of God and my place in His world. I have taken my views of who God is from my father and his relationship with God and his relationship with my mother and with family. I viewed him and his relationship with my mother as the closest thing to being like Christ a mortal human can be. While I was only 13 at the time of his death, those years together were all I needed to shape my view of my world - my parents' union with God and their union together as one.

My God is a loving and just God.
