   Greetings everyone!  I am new to this forum... or any forum for that matter.  My name is Jaime, I'm 24 years old, I was born in Georgia, grew up mostly in Houston, but I've lived in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul) for several years.  I am no stranger to the Bible by any means; I grew up in a strong Christian family.  I admit that I am a little hesitant to relate my history and religious background because people typically like to pigeonhole you when you do… but I’ve found that sharing can really help people to relate sometimes – after all… no new understanding was ever reached by a LACK of communication!  Right!?   Smiley  So here goes – both of my parents are from the South, my Mother’s family is originally from Fayetteville, NC – my Father’s family is from Hephzibah, Georgia.  My Mother was a Presbyterian, my Father’s mother was Southern Baptist and his father was Pentecostal – he grew up going to both churches (not uncommon in Georgia at all).  I have experienced the Word from many different denominational viewpoints.  I consider myself a (non-denominational) Christian – wonderfully simple enough I think!  The church I have gone to for the last several years is non-denominational as well (though they have an affiliation with the General Baptist Conference).  
   I have been a soldier (recently home from the war in Iraq) and am now a college student studying Business Administration.  I am actively involved (or a member) in the following organizations: the African American Christian Veterans (it’s a social club/organization open to black War Veterans who do not feel welcome at the local VFW), the 82nd Airborne Division Association (for former soldiers/paratroopers of the 82nd), and I am very proud to be involved with the Black Achievers (I counsel troubled teenagers who are dealing with issues I dealt with growing up – mostly gang violence and drugs).
   As I mentioned earlier, I have no experience with online forums… but I hope that this will be a constructive format to help me learn from and share with my true brothers and sisters… and to grow closer to Him.
   May the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all!

Jaime

Hello Jaime,

WELCOME!! And, WELCOME HOME!!  I give thanks and pray for the men and women serving our country every day. My son is one of them, so I'm more than just a little bit proud that our freedoms and safety are being preserved by men and women of courage.


Love In Christ,
Tom

I hope you find some edifying reads here.  Smiley I have and continue to. Of course, there's some that aren't, too.  Wink

Your history sounds like you've got religion all covered so that now you can concentrate on relationship.  Wink

Welcome!
