Hi...My name is Amber, and I'm reformed.

It's great to find a place like this! I found PB by doing a search on Timothy Rogers (I'm reading Trouble of Mind and the Disease of Melancholy right now--it's amazing!!). I've tried to post on forums before, but usually people would....well they would not like it when I mentioned anything about the sovereignty of God (or the depravity of man). And...well its just hard for me to talk about the things of God without saying something about the fact of His sovereignty. I just don't know what I would do if I thought God just "sat" up there and just let things happen, just hoping for the best...
Anyway....cool place! I've read a lot of stuff on here, and it seems like a great place to "hang out" (and learn, and be encouraged)

Welcome to the Puritan Board!

I too enjoy Timothy Rogers' writings. Blessings!

Won't have that problem here, sister. Might get a little nutty sometimes, like the poll about David's stove and his proclivity for turkey bacon, though.

Welcome.

I just tried turkey bacon for the first time a couple of weeks ago.
I didn't like it that much.

Thanks everyone for welcoming me (and so quickly, too!).

And now...Tah-dah!! This is my 15th post--so now I should be able to thank people "for useful posts"!

I'm the turkey bacon guy, and I think it's delicious!
