| | | Formal intro
I tried to introduce myself a couple of weeks ago but could not figure it out.
I am a child of the deep south( still fighting the War between the States)
My dad built a trailer and we all came to Long Beach CA when I was 13. My parents immediately quit going to church we we got here and us kids went our seperate ways regarding church. My sister belongs to a wonderful Presbyterian church, but I don't how reformed she is. I went into Mormonism but after battling with God for years he pulled me out kicking and screaming.
( Irresistabke grace?)
I like reformed because reformed people actually study the Christian faith.
It seems most Christians are content with a very low understanding of Christ.
Sincerely in Christ Our Lord

Welcome from a Yankee who is marooned in the South and still undecided on whethere he will stay or not. I would be careful to lump all non-reformed people together, there are many who know the Scriptures far better than I (and many others here) do. But good to have you.

My uncle who is a native of North Carolina, still thinks the South will rise. I keep telling him the war is over, but he won't let it go.

Theognome | 1. Welcome to the PB. We are glad to have you.
2. You can have the war . . . and the country. The current occupants have made a bad situation into a "worser" one. I promise not to let the door hit me on the way out.

Welcome from a Yankee residing in enemy territory.
And what is this, "War of the States" you speak of?
