Hello, all! Came across the site looking at information about an article, and happy to locate a Christian forum, where we can discuss the issues. Haven't seen this one before, and hoping for good things!
About me....married, mom, grandmother. Kids widely ranged in age, and in fact, smallest is a day older than the oldest grandchild. So, have some perspective regarding various ages, etc. Was a single mom for a time, too, so can relate there. Raised in a time when morals mattered, and people had respect for their elders. Was blessed to have a Baptist deacon for a granddaddy, and thus learned about the Savior very young. Never anything forced, never told I HAD TO believe a certain way, just shown, through love, what it all meant.
I am very pro-life, pretty conservative on the issues, and try to stay informed about political matters. Former military (peacetime), which I quit to be a mother, married to a soldier now. I love discussing things with people, and can handle comparing different opinions, but I have little tolerance for rude behavior. I also don't have to agree with you on all issues to support you when I feel you are right. Very protective of family and friends, and very concerned about my country these days. Willing to listen of you have something you need to get off your chest, and offer what advice I am able.
My faith isn't complicated. Bible-believing Christian, who knows that Jesus is God. I have friends that don't believe, and I love them as much as those that do. I don't approve of immoral activity, but I understand people fail. I certainly have in the past, and I won't reject a person just because they have. I might offer some advice, some counsel, but in love.
I do have strong opinions on some issues, and I am sure that will cause some to dislike me. Seen that before, and that's alright. Just know that if I disagree, my goal isn't to "be right", but to try and show people the truth. No, not because I am just that nice (I am actually pretty impatient on my own!), but because loving others is what we are supposed to do. God's been patient with me, so I can at least try to show that to other people.
Well, enough about me. Looking forward to learning more about all of you.
