Greetings to all. Finally managed to circumnavigate the many hurdles, electronic and otherwise and got on board.

Everybody get those wavy guys out and say hello now.

And let's see if this automatically shows my signature.

If not,

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)

Did you know that some presbyteries now consider a Puritanboard membership to be partial fulfillment of an ordination exam?

Greetings, Wayne! I grew up near St. Louis, about 35 miles east of the Arch. Lived in the Metro East area most of my life. I can still say that but the years are adding up.

I'd leave it to Pergie [is that allowable?] to schedule an STL meet-up. One idea would be to gather at the PCA Historical Center and go from there to lunch some Monday or Wednesday (suits my schedule best). I also have a nice deck that's available on Saturdays (hint).
In other news, I've been married to Janet for 32 years and we have two children. Jeremy is multi-disabled and lives at home; Heather is an intern with RUF and a Covenant Seminary grad. My hobby is woodworking, though I haven't been able to do much for years.

Welcome!

Greetings. I'm fairly new here myself.

I've found the historical center website to be a welcome resource.

Thanks for what you all have done.
