    New Member!

    My name is Ted Leaf, am 62, and live on Long Island Sound in CT.

    I've been a truck driver for 41 years, after 4 years of college studying to be a meteorologist! Was born again in November of 1980, while reading a book about the Shroud of Turin, and how a crucified person would suffer, realizing it should have been me.

    I like reading about the Puritans, et al, and am very interested in the varied biblical manuscripts (have no training in such, but love to read!). Enjoy reading tried and true dead authors, rather than (mostly) marketable authors of today.

    Love my KJV, but also read ESV, NRSV, NIV, REB, interlinears, etc.

    Grew up in a Congregational Church where Jonathan Edwards preached "Sinners in the Hands...". Something stuck. Was a Lutheran for 10 years, am now a PCA.

    In short - searching for the Truth !! That's why I'm here.

    Hope to learn from all of you. Thank you in advance.

    No I wasn't there when JE preached. But that old church just had a presence about it of the "old timers". It even had a carriage barn out back for horses.

    BTW..I'm still trying to figure out all the bells and whistles here.

    If you think I'm a Hyper-Calvinist, God planned that thought before the foundation of the Earth. If you try to tell me that God only planned some things and not all things, then your problem is with God not me.

    Welcome Tleaf! I am a new member as well and look forward to studying this blog. I too am 62 and was brought to Christ rather late in life (45) so we indeed have that in common. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on various issues the board addresses.
