About Me
I'm an enigma: certain unless I am in doubt, imaginative unless I am
serious (always intense), right brained unless I am left brained
(balanced brain), artistic/creative unless I am blocked, mostly
positive unless I am negative, happy unless I am sad, loving almost
always, and, as I am always intense, a God seeking lay member of the
Episcopal Church.
I set little importance as to denominational loyalties or theologies, but look for people whose testimony resonates with the same truth I have found. In short, I believe in lived faith, not some static dead thing quoted from the pages of a book; but a living, vibrant relationship with G_d. The Bible is for instruction and guidance, a record of the history of our faith and some of the greatest literature ever written--inspired by but not written by God.

Gender: Female
Relationship Status: Married

Christian,
Faith Description: Liberal, Contemplative/Spiritual, Seeking, Episcopal (Anglican), Christian, catholic (small-c)
