About Me

LA born, I've lived in upstate NY, AZ, all over PA, a couple of places in mid-NJ, several places in Northern VA, and am now in PG County MD. I'm Irish, French-Canadian, Russian, and Swiss (the latter via my mom's adoption).I have a strange fascination with songwriters.
I have 2 fabulous stepsons - Josh & AJ. I am friends with 66% of my ex's, including my ex-husband and Josh's mom.
I'm a dichotomy: tragic, triumphant; happy, sad; Christian, humanist; positive, negative; optimistic, pessimistic.
I'm a computer geek and a seminarian. But don't go getting all judgmental on me already. I'm a follower of the message of Jesus - love one another - not some Falwell, Robertson, Bush, Coulter false message.
I do NOT believe in the prosperity gospel. I went to hear Bishop T.D. Jakes preach and he told the crowded faithful they would only get blessings from God if they wrote him a check for $723. THIS IS NOT BIBLICAL, PEOPLE. WAKE UP!
I do NOT believe babies are sinful.
I dream of pastoring a non-denominational, non-segregated church where all feel God's love, welcome, and promise of a new heaven. This does NOT mean I believe "anything goes," okay?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Jesus, Shirley Jones, maybe you, Mel White, Wayne Besen

what is beautiful?

All the weathercasters have been saying the autumn trees will be ugly this year; no beautiful colors due to the drought. As I sat, literally, as a bump on a log in the forest at sunset last night, I c...
