I am so glad that I was lead to this wonderful forum!

I'm a born and bred Virginian who moved to New Jersey a year-and-a-half ago. I'm still going through culture shock--things are so different here. (I wish I had lived here when Warfield was head of Princeton Theological Seminary!) God bless you all and keep the edifying and thought-provoking posts coming!

Welcome. Good to have another southerner living in Yankee territory on the board. I was born in Alabama and now live in Kansas.

It makes sense now, I didn't know they said y'all in New Jersey. They don't say y'all in Kansas either. It is "you guys."

With an interest in Warfield, you should definitely schedule a trip over to Princeton someday, to rumage through Warfield's Papers in the Special Collections department at the Seminary.

I knew right away by the title that it must be another Southerner on board (even though I don't personally say "y'all"). Welcome!

Greetings from a fellow Virginian (temporarily exiled to NJ). I only have to work here for a few weeks at a time and so far the only good thing that I have discovered about NJ is that it is not NY. How ever can you stand to live here?!

Wow! Thanks for all the welcomes!

XBlackWaterX: I do love some of the friends I've made.
P. F. Pugh: I will!
Christusregnat: Personally, I am too, I reckon.

Southern Presbyterian: I can tell that you and I are going to be fast friends!

(I would have posted quotes, but I figured this way of answering might be less confusing.)

Thanks again, everybody. I'm glad to be here.
