[Faith-talk] my intro

[Ashley Bramlett]

Karen,
Well, its good to be on list too. What church or religious place are you 
with?
I grew up Methodist which has its routes with John Wesley. He started 
building the church with small camp meetings and it grew into something more 
organized.

I did a lot of church activities in that church; I felt that the adults 
treated me more fairly than the other students; same with going to public 
school so it didn't surprise me.
I joined the church as a teen like all other youth. It was confirmation. My 
brothers did it too. There were confirmation classes before we joined but I 
don't remember what we learned or studied. In college I continued my 
Christian journey through Bible study. But
I couldn't read the bible with them so I listened as I did in Sunday school. 
I couldn't take a braille bible because as you know, the bible is so big it 
takes up a whole closet.

They usually remembered to read to me, or I asked someone to do so. Usually 
though, they all read; like person A read five verses and person B read 
another five, etc.

So I've had many ways to join in Christian fellowship.

HI there Josh,  My name is Karin and I want to thank God for being on this 
list.  I hope and pray this list grows and that we can have discussions 
about things and not as many devotions, although some of them are quite 
good.  Blessings to you
