Yes, another Brit.

[Bern]

Hey my names Bern(ard), as you've probably guessed by now. Posted a few times already, but thought I'd introduce myself properly.

I live just south of London, in Kent. I've been a Christian for about 7 years and attend an Evangelical Free church... although really the church and myself are non denominational.

God brought me from a life in the occult into His kingdom, for which I pray I will become ever more thankful. I'm 24, single with no kids. (Praise God! LOL) My only goal now is to grow more like Christ and to get closer to God. If I discover I have any other goals, then I pray God will show me how to get rid of them!

Look forward to chatting to you all.

Hey Bern

Great to have another Brit on board. Hope you enjoy your time on here, as i sure do.
You come from a great part of the UK and if i was ever to move, Kent would most probably be the part of England i would move to.

Blessing

Joey

Hi Bern, welcome to Christians Unite forums. By the way, I am in America. I've read some of your posts, good posts.

Welcome from far away Tennessee! Enjoy the forums!

Welcome, Bern!  What a lovely place--the Garden of England!  (Is that the term for Kent?)  Are you near Sevenoaks?  My late husband and I have hiked a bit in Kent.

Anyway, a warm welcome from Canada!

Had a cousin, Bernard, up in Chester and he was known as "Bernard" but on my own website (in my signature) we have a moderator "Bernard" and he goes by "Nard"

Hello,

I've been a Christian since 1979.  I was taught about the LORD by my mother (God rest her soul) when I was a very wee boy (you'll gather I'm Scottish!).

 i've got cataracts in both eyes and nystagmus in the left.  Thank goodness I live in a country where I don't have to pay to go into hospital!  For this reason, the only Bible I could read when I was small was our next-door neighbours' one.  It was their family Bible, and it was a great joy to me to read about Abraham, Moses, David et.al.

I'll tell you more about myself when I get some replies.

Gabriel, WELCOME to CU!!

What part of Scotland are you from?  That has to be one of the most picturesque countries anywhere.  I'd love to go back for another visit!

Again, WELCOME!  Sounds as if you had a wonderful mother!  I'm sorry about your cataracts!

Hey Patz, yes I'm right next to Sevenoaks.. its 15 minutes drive from me. Live in the woodland areas surrounding that area. You've probably hiked past my house! heh

It's sure a small world!

Visited in Sevenoaks quite often and attended the nicest little evangelical church of England while there with our friends who live there.

Not "The Vine evangelical" was it? I know people there.

Warm Welcome Christians Unite Bern!!  

Happy Holiday's Season!!

Hi Patzt,

I live just outside Edinburgh in a little village called Newtongrange.  Newtongrange was one of the many coal mining towns in the area but now the old colliery has become the Royal Scottish Mining Museum.

My mother was one of God's saints - and a suffering one.  She had appalling ill health - asthma, pernicious anaemia and (at the end of her life on Earth) Coeliac's disease.  But she had a great sense of humour.  She taught me that a sense of humour was a sense of balance.  I've found that, if I can laugh at myself, it's half the battle.

I LOVE swimming!  Because of my bad eyesight I can get into my local swimming pool free of charge.  I don't know if you swim Pat, but if you do it's lovely in the water isn't it?  People like myself who have a disability feel lovely and free when they're swimming.

  Love in Christ.

Hi gabriel

Great to have you on board here. Its a wonderful part of the UK that you live in. I have been blessed to be able to visit Scotland a number of times and the scenery is outstanding. A few of my favourite places were Avimore and Oban and of course, Edinburgh  I can now fly to Edinburgh or Glasgow from my local airport for about £30 and be in Scotland in less than an hour. It makes the UK seem so small now thanks to these airlines.

God Bless
Joey
