Welcome to the list Erica. I myself am a Christian, live in Alaska with a
gaggle of children and am married. There are quite a few Christians on the
list as well as some people from other faiths, I hope that you feel welcome
in our little community.

Blessings to all!

I'm already quite active in my Lutheran church and  have  been asked once to
be on council which  I didn't have time for then.  I didn't get accepted
overnight.  It has taken me ten years of being annoying and not giving up to
be an active, respected member.  Nobody give up on your faith!  I had to
fight a "country club mentality" not just disability issues and  not being
raised in the congregation.  We're all sinners and need the Spirit to guide
us just as much as the rest do.  I'm new to this list and to the NFB to some
extent.  I have known about it for years and  was raised in the philosophy
but never was active until now.  I wasn't able to attend the meeting at the
convention, but am looking forward to meeting people are respectfully
discussing spiritual matters.  If you are not Christian, I am sorry if you
are offended.  I would like to learn  about other faith views too.  My faith
is strengthened as I learn more about others' faith stories, struggles, etc.

May his peace and grace shine on you,

Ericka J. Short
