Title: hmm.... maybe I should have introduced myself first.
Post by: His_child on April 25, 2004, 09:14:27 PM
Maybe I should have introduced myself before jumping in with both feet in debating with everyone.  ;)

My name is Roberta. I was born and raised as an orphan in SC until I was adopted into a Navy family at the age of 8.
I'm 39, Christian, wife, homeschool mom and Wal*Mart Cashier/Service Desk Associate.  :D

My husband was laid off and has not been able to find employment for the last 14 months.  :'( The Lord has been good to us and has always provided for us.  :) :D

I was raised a Lutheran. I know this only because one day I asked my parents what religion we were and they said we were Lutheran. I don't know why they thought we were Lutheran because Dad was an atheist and Mom followed the teachings of EST and other cults. They have been divorced since I was 12. Dad is now an agnostic and Mom is an SDA.  :(

I'm am neither a Calvinist, Arminian or Wesleyan. I really don't think that it is important to follow any of those doctrines as long as I keep my focus on Christ. However, I do love learning about our early church fathers, that is why I ask questions about them.  ???

I love reading and participating in debate threads so that I can learn.  :)

I have a very dry sense of humor which unintentionally offends people at times, especially if I'm disagreeing with them in a debate thread. I say things to hopefully lighten the mood and sometimes people get upset and the mood doesn't get lightened at all.  :-\

I look forward to getting to know you all!  8)

BTW- if you didn't notice, I can be very long-winded.  :P

Oklahoma Howdy to Justme,

 :D  I loved your introduction. I think you are going to fit in with us just fine.  As you can see, we don't have any other folks here who have a dry sense of humor, like to debate, or be long-winded from time to time.

It sounds like your life has been a challenge, yet you sound positive and say that you keep your focus on Christ. I don't think that you can lose if you keep your focus on Jesus Christ. I'll be praying for you and your family.

Love In Christ,
Tom

Yes, we need a few more of those kind of folks in stock; we wouldn't want to become too perfect. People would think we're a cult.

Welcome!  :D

Nice to have You here in this melting pot forum of differing similarities as well as parallel mindsets. As long as you were equiped with a "gabulator", you might as well put it to  good use.

Hi NateyCakes and Palmoni.
I don't think I've heard the term "gabulator" before. LOL!
