| | | Hi, I am Bethany. Let's get acquainted.
Let me introduce myself, I am Bethany. I am married to Pilgrim's Progeny (Paul W.) I have followed the board as a visitor for some time and I decided it was time to take the plunge and join. I joined because so often it seems that Paul and I are stranded on a deserted island... no one around us is Reformed. When people see me with my 4 kids and they hear that I homeschool they look at me as if I had two heads. I come here for camaraderie and friendship.
I am serious, but not stoic. I have fun, but I am not much of a jokester. I have a great passion to see women mature in their Christianity! I have been married 8 years and my children are 6, 4, 2, and 9 months.
I probably won't comment on too many things, as I feel so unfit to do so. But, I plan to absorb all of the knowledge I can - after all, I have to keep up with Paul!

And though the really inspired artist may complain that, with the majority, piano-playing is mere strumming, and painting little more than daubing, yet, the exuberant feeling of having a share in the privileges of art is so overwhelming, that the scorn of the artist is preferred to the abandonment of art training in education. To have laid a production of your own, however poor, upon the altar of art becomes more and more the characteristic of an accomplished civilization. - Abraham Kuyper

I grew up about 45 minutes south of Girard! New Douglas...it's at about the 33 to 35 mile marker on I=55 on the way to St. Louis, five miles east of the interstate. My Mom's parents lived the last years of their lives (1960-1994) in Litchfield, IL.
