In an effort to get to know each other a bit better, can we intro ourselves again? I see that there are over a thousand members, but only a few that actually visit here. It would be nice (and helpful in making us a cohesive board) for us to know a little something about each other.
Perhaps most of you know each other, but I know I don't know any of you very well at all, and I certainly don't know enough about you to know how to pray for you, and I'd assume it's the same both ways.
I posted a bit about me in today's thread, but I'll post here too, and a few more details.
My name is Kristi, and I have been walking with the Lord for 21 years, married for 23 on the 20th of this month. We have 3 beautiful children, Allie-21, Danny-19 and Sky-12yo.Allie is studying at Defense Language Institute to be a Cryptologic Linguist for the Air Force. She loves the lifestyle and it really agrees with her. Danny is attending the local college studying for his Engineering Tech and Architecture AA degrees. Both of my adult children graduated from our homeschool. Sky is still homeschooling, and is in 7th grade and doing very well.
I love canning, gardening, sewing, camp dutch oven cooking, and anything homesteading when I'm not caring for my family. I love cats and have two (Stormy and X-Box), and two dogs (Licorice and Desmond). I lead a homeschool support group that is growing, praise be to His name.
What about you?

This is a good idea, Kristi, because my memory is really fuzzy on all that, too! I was saved 25 years ago at the age of seven during VBS at a local IFB church. I was raised by my grandmother, who was a Christian, but I don't know that I could say it was a Christian home. I love music! The church I grew up in originally didn't have a pianist so my pastor had me playing in church the same week I learned my first hymn. We sang that song a lot until I learned another one, ha ha. I think I was twelve years old at the time. When I graduated from high school the Lord provided for me to study music in university, then after I graduated I spent several years teaching piano, theory and children's programs full-time at a conservatory. About six years ago I met Anthony on an internet message board. We've been happily married for five years, and have three children, Daniel(3), Caleb(1 1/2) and Abigail(2 months). Also two cats. They're two females from the same litter, named Tsu and Nami. The boys love them to a point that is probably not safe for the cats, but the cats are fast runners, so it all works out. I'm not much of a domestic, but I'm making a heroic effort to keep the house clean and not hate doing it, lol. I love playing with my children and my work in the music ministry at our church, as well as teaching piano lessons to our church kids part time so I won't be the only pianist in our church when I get old.

I also think a re-intro is a FABULOUS idea.
I am a born again Christian.
I am most commonly known on the internet as Mrs.B. We have 5 children ages 27, 24, 21, 12 & 9.
Our oldest son is an Air Force veteran who is finishing a degree in communications - I hope this is the last time he'll change his major; hee, hee ... our 24 year old son is also in college - has also changed majors and is currently undecided, our 21 year old son is in the Navy and I'm still home schooling our 12 year old daughter & 9 year old son.
Mr.B had been working out of state for more than two years. Only 3 weeks ago we sold our home and the younger children and I moved completely across the country to be with Mr.B. I am not adjusting as easily as I had hoped I would. The culture is vastly different than what we are accustomed to. We are also living in temporary housing, with many of our belongings in storage, while we search for another home.
I don't know how often I'll time to log-in on the forum - but I've always enjoyed it here.
Mrs.B (aka tb)

I too am a born again Christian.
I have been married to DH for 16 years now. We have 4 wonderful children ages: 13, 7, 5, and #4 is due in October. We have been homeschooling for just over 4 years now.
We are slowly trying to enter into living off of the land.
I am not an outdoor type of person. I enjoy watching movies, playing cards, playing board games, etc. I am definitely an indoor person.
We do try to have a successful garden each year and I can as much as I can to provide for the family.
I don't get to come onto this website very often because of time, but I do enjoy it when I am able to log on.

Hello I am Karrie and I am a Born Again Christian. I and my husband been married 8 and half years or more and no children yet. We both are disabled with health problems however, I do believe we will be Blessed in Lord's timing. We are moving into another home and we are strickly using it for the Lord's purpose and going to watch what we move into our new home. I love modest apperal and listening Christian programming and going to church and reading the Bible and meeting people of Faith that will guide me through all walks in life. I just lost a friendship of 22 years of here belief and views and doctrine differences but I am meeting new people daily.
