About Me

First, I became "Speedbump" after a fellow turned left in front of me while I was on my motorcycle. I "threw" my bike at him, but he managed to get around it and run over me (literally). Such drama! What I want to do is get back on my bike, but the future remains to be seen.As a former EMT, then RN, in both cases working in some of the worst places imaginable, I have seen much suffering. Other than providing the basics (food, clothing, shelter and medical care) I haven't seen much success in alleviating suffering without God. So, while I no longer practice those professions, I continue along the same path.I am a Minister of Evangelism for the Celtic Communion of Christ, a body that is "gettin back ta basics" by reaching back into the rich heritage of the Celtic Churches. It seems funny to hear myself called "Reverend", because I didn't actually flunk the piety class...I was physically thrown from the building. I guess that is good practice for an evangelist. :-)I am a member of a Lutheran Church, where, every Sunday, traditional and contemporary services are held simultaneously. Yeah, you'll find me mostly in the contemporary services. I can be found many Sunday afternoons cooking for our outreach dinner, which follows our outreach service called "Come Alive". I can also be found on the sidewalk, reaching out to the homeless (especially when winter ends and they move back here from Phoenix). A couple of Thursday morning a month, I take care of preschoolers so that their Moms can get a break and some fellowship (around 100 moms usually attend, so it can can get rockin downstairs).

My Interests

Motorcycling (although I am not currently riding). I am a Docent (educator) at our local Heritage Park Zoological Sanctuary, which provides homes to a large variety of animals who cannot be returned to the wild. History, history and history.No hiking, now, but I still love the outdoors. I'd rather camp than have a penthouse suite.I'll cook, anywhere, anytime.

I'd like to meet:

The minute that I state who I would like to meet, I preclude all of the others. It occurs to me that there is practically no one who I would not like to meet. I am an old psych nurse, so I even like meeting people who others might not appreciate. I have friends that are not Christians; well, I wasn't, either, once. I can still appreciate their intellects and good hearts. I always pray for them. I enjoy and respect the biker community, and I will tag along, even if I must do so in my "cage"(automobile, for the uninitiated). I am very fortunate to be meeting some of my Celtic brothers and sisters; I am learning much about myself from them.
