Maybe you want to know something about the creator of this website. When I began it, I was middle-aged, single, a writer and search engine marketer, caregiver for my elderly grandmother (1911-2006). I got married in 2005, moved back to Texas in 2006, and had a son in 2007. I’m fifth-generation Methodist, descendant of circuit riding preachers in West Virginia, though my family left the Methodist church when I was 17. Since then, I’ve been part of churches with labels such as: Southern Baptist, Nazarene, charismatic, apostolic, Anabaptist, Assembly of God, Church of Christ, and (shudder!) Presbyterian. Hypocrite is another label that has been applied to me. Some aspects of my life I would rather not talk about. But I’d rather be inconsistent with my beliefs than to stop believing them.
Hi brother,
“Caregiver to 93-year-old-grandmother.” What a duty but what an honor! It does sadden me how effortlessly peole ship their elders off these days. God must be greatly displeased, I fear.
Really glad to have found your place on the internet. Much to digest here. Are you in WVA, Michael? I have several relatives there and am headed to Fayetteville in just a few weeks.
Lemme know if you want to swap blog links. I just started one.
Every blessing,
Zane Anderson, Bristol, Tennessee
Thanks for the encouragement. My family moved from West Virginia to Texas more than a century ago, and I moved to St. Louis, where my grandmother lives, a year ago,
