Age: 34
Hobbies: Cars, cooking,cars, guns, motorcycles, cars, harassing folks,....did I mention cars? :laughhard:

Brief Salvation Story  I was brought to a Pentecostal church when I was seven days old. I've attended the same church every since. I received the Holy Ghost at age 12, while my church was in revival with a Bro. Terry Barber. I don't know what he preached and haven't heard of him since to my knowledge.

Marital Status:  It's Complicated.  :laughhard: Very happily married


Children: Yes- One beautiful 4 year old going on 24 year old princess
Pets: One ancient weenie dog "Abby", one infernal pain of a chihuahu "Domino"

Occupation: cop, pig, five-oh, police officer, security guard- been called all of 'em  :laughhard:

Are you involved in your church? If so, tell us what you do.  I'm currently the Teen class Sunday school teacher and assistant to the pastor in whatever he needs me for- jack of all trades, master of none.


Other info you wish to share: I recently accepted the call to preach that I've felt my entire life. Currently trying to learn all I can so God can use me in whatever capacity He wishes- from lawn mower to pastoring, I want to be prepared to do whatever He has for me. I've been blessed with a wonderful, Godly, supportive wife that helps me in every facet of life, from working beside me to provide for our family, to helping me with my walk with God. I waited a LONG time-  I was nearly 27 years old  before we began  dating, but it was worth the wait. God had the PERFECT woman for me, she's my best friend



Now, Boss, can I get a copy of that book I just wrote? :laughhard:

Name: Isaac
Screen Name: Psalm_97

Home State: Tennessee, the best of the best.  We are too far north for Florida's or Mississippi's summers, too far south for Wisconsin's winters, too far inland to get the full force of hurricanes, too far from the east and west coasts to get their smog... and we still have a Wal-Mart less than 30 minutes from almost everywhere.

Current State: Tennessee.  What, you expect me to LEAVE?  Anywhere else would be a downgrade! :P

Age: Between 20 and 50.  Sorry, I don't get more specific online ---- but at least you know you're not talking to a 10 year old kid or a 93 year old man.

Hobbies: Listening to christian music, making sourdough bread, preserving music from old records and tapes, cooking and baking in general, learning to play the keyboard, learning to play other instruments through the keyboard + computer, making soundtracks to sing with at church, lots of other music stuff.  Also attending any and all family get-togethers I can get to, because I have a great family, we like to get together a lot and they are all nuts so we have a lot of fun.  A family dinner is not to be missed!

On the music subject - I am a music omnivore.  I have a fine disregard for styles of music and I have a little of almost every style of christian music out there.  I don't have ALL of any style though, because I find about 70% of all christian music - in ALL styles - is just for show.  The 30% that is anointed is worth the search though.  And because almost everyone I know narrows down to two or three styles of music they like, I can almost guarantee I will have something in my collection that you will like, and something you cannot stand. :D

Brief Salvation Story: Grew up in church until my parents divorced, moved to east TN with mom at age 14 or so, moved back where I belong a few years ago, started going to church where I grew up.  It took me a couple or three years to get the Holy Ghost, but when I did I was sure of what I was doing and knew what I wanted and why.  It was on a Friday night and God had been dealing with me about speaking in the service (who, ME?!)  I basically preached a sermon on overcoming with your praise, then got the Holy Ghost in the back corner while everyone else was shouting.  I think I'm the only minister to ever preach a sermon right before I received the Holy Ghost. 

Marital Status: Single, not in a relationship, not putting any effort into finding one.  Matchmakers get flamethrowers used on them.  (Not really, but I hate matchmakers.)

Children: None, I'm not even married.  Shoot, I've never even been on a date.

Pets: Two mutts - one looks like a cross between a border collie and a blue heiler, the other looks like a cross between a Jack Russel terrier, a labrador and a box of lemons.

Occupation: Fast food factory worker.

Are you involved in your church? If so, tell us what you do. How long do you have to read the list? :P Bus driver, children's church helper (I'm the bouncer, keep order while the teacher teaches,) missions director, bulletin typer, choir member, puppet team co-leader, sound booth techie, floor vacuumer, minister, praise singer... Did I leave anything out?  I also function as tech support for any and all computers involved, and music mix-master/repository for all groups involving music.

Tell you what though, if you do all you can for God you won't have time to do stuff you shouldn't be doing.  ;)

Other info you wish to share: Personally I'm having a ball.  I don't understand christians who complain all the time, and I don't want to.  It's natural to be down every once in a while, but if you always sing "I'm so glad Jesus lifted me" and make it sound like the elevator got stuck between floors, something is wrong and needs to be fixed.  I've about decided this God stuff is the hottest thing going and I think everyone ought to try it.   :clap:

Brief Salvation Story: When I was very young I had a minister stop me from praying and announced to me and the church that I had got the Holy Ghost. I knew I hadn't received it, and this turned me off to even seeking it for a long time. I felt like if that  happened with other people how did you really know if you got it or not?

So I didn't really even go to the altar much again till I was a teenager. The second time I went up to seek the Holy Ghost as a teen, another visiting pastor did the same thing to me. I got mad I quit praying and I stormed out of the church. Thank God for a youth minister who knew what happened and told my pastor. They both talked to me and told me no matter what anyone said, no matter what authority they felt they had here on earth, nobody could pronounce you with the Holy Ghost and tell you when to stop seeking it. It wasn't very long after this that on a Sunday night in March I got the Holy Ghost in the Youth Sunday School room. They had moved me there because I refused to stop praying and everyone else was ready to go home. So it was in that Sunday School class with my Dad, my pastor, and that youth minister that I got filled with the Holy Ghost. I was baptized in Jesus name a couple of months later. It was the second time I was baptized but that's a longer story.

Home State: Ohio
Current State: Ohio

Age: 28

Hobbies: Singing, knitting, baking, candymaking, anything crafty really.

Brief Salvation Story: I was raised in church, off and on. There were periods of time when my mother was very strict about standards and attending church and being involved, and others when we didn't go to church for a month, or my dad and I would go alone. When I started at a new church school, we started going to that church and I really started deciding to serve God because *I* wanted to. I had been baptised at my first church, and received the Holy Ghost at the new church. I was heavily involved in the youth group, though I wasn't accepted by many of the youth themselves. This "being a part, but not really" kind of thing, a continued until I went away to college where I was struggling with whether I even wanted to go to church anymore. Through GP chat, I met my now husband and I feel that God set up that meeting because I started going back to church, at first to spend time with a new friend, but once I was in the door, I started giving my life back to God, and feeling the fire again. I was renewed in God, and I praise Him for the direction He has led my life, and the people that He has put in it.

Marital Status: Happily married for 3 years. (Didn't consider myself single when I was in a committed relationship with my now spouse.....but that's just my opinion for what it's worth)

Children: One daughter turning 3 this June.

Pets: None, but would like to have a dog someday.

Occupation: Software tester extraordinaire. (ok, so I added the extraordinaire, but it just sounds better! lol)

Are you involved in your church? If so, tell us what you do.
Yes I am. I am a Sunday School teacher to a group of 5-11 year olds, and finding lessons and activities to challenge and entertain all of them is next to impossible.  I am a member of the "praise team" (basically our choir but it's really small lol), and sing specials as well. My husband is the sound technician, so I help him out whenever I can too. I also help with special Sunday School presentations and am one of the candy makers for our annual Easter candy fundraiser. I love our church and have been blessed with the opportunity to be involved and accepted.

Brief Salvation Story: I was raised in the church. Received the Holy Ghost 8-7-83 at the age of 10 at my then church in Raleigh, NC (pastor Wayne Huntley). Baptized 8-10-83.

Marital Status: Married, but separated very much against my will. The husband backslid several years ago, then walked out in August 2009. As long as there is breath in his body I will not give up on him. I love him for better or for worse. This is the worst and I still love him with everything that is in me and am still faithful to him. No matter what. God brought us together and I believe God will bring him home.

And my husband's Jack Russell (about 5 months old) who is now living here most of the time instead of where my husband is staying with his sister. The dog's name is Milo. I gave him the middle name Aggravation. He chews up everything and annoys our other pets like crazy. They really  hate him. Our cat Evie, who has always been sweet and mild-mannered, literally attacks Milo to the point of drawing blood.

Brief Salvation Story:  I began attending an Apostolic church in July 1973 when I went to live w/ my aunt.  On December 31, 1979 (I was 12 1/2 yrs old) at a Watch-Night Service, Bro. John McDaniel (a very old man, even then) was preaching.  He preached a message about the love of God, and my young, tender heart wanted to experience that kind of love 1st hand.  I remember making my way to the altar and raising my hands, and the next thing I knew, it was like a weight had been lifted off me and I heard someone speaking in a language I could not understand...then, suddenly realized it was my voice.

Marital Status:Separated, in the process of a divorce after 17 yrs...

Name: Sarah Leigh.
Screen Name: Kloey.  Previously, it was Relevant_Grace.
Home State: Florida.
Current State: Florida.

Age: Twenty-seven.

Hobbies: Reading, swimming, jammin' out (of tune) in the shower, baking, going to church, and pretending "real" ninjas don't need sleep.

Brief Salvation Story: I was born two months prematurely.  Attended my first Apostolic service when I was released from the hospital at the tender age of two months old.  Obviously, I was right on time and I've been going strong since.  I've had my moments, but at the end of the day, I know He's my bread and butter.

Marital Status: Single.  Let it be known, though, that I'm perfectly willing to bite the bullet and marry as long as he's tall enough to reach things for me.  :freaky2:

Children:  I no longer have custody of my nephew, so technically, no, but he and I are a package deal.

Pets: I have two cute kitties, but don't be fooled.  Ms. Lady Ma'am and The Bebe Molly Sue are deadly.  Ms. Lady Ma'am disfigured my UPS guy, so he changed routes... :sadbounce:  They're the reason Lucifer took so long to rebel.  He was terrified of 'em, what with them being evil and all.

Occupation: Communications Officer/Trainer, VP of my local chapter of Crime Stoppers, and FT Ninja Empress of the Universe.

Are you involved in your church? If so, tell us what you do: Well, I'm transitioning from one church to another, so officially, I'm not involved in anything, but I am one mean worshipper.  Hell itself trembles when I get my praise on.  Not sure what the future holds for me at this new church, but come what may, "His will be done."


Other info you wish to share: I prayed for patience.  Ended up with road rage.

Name: Melody

Home State: Florida
Current State: Mississippi

Age: 30

Hobbies: Reading, music, kids/youth.

Brief Salvation Story: Raised in truth. I'm something of a 6-7 generation Apostolic...we don't really know how far back it goes. Got the Holy Ghost and baptized at 17, and started a walk with God. But honestly I can say that up until I was 27, I really didn't serve Him with my whole heart. I credit my new found faith and love for God to stepping out and and following His call to move to MS. BEST DECISION I EVER MADE!

Marital Status:  Single. Never dated anyone either. At all.

Children: No natural children. BUT! I claim several as mine. Plus Neices and a Nephew.

Pets: A sweet almost 9 year old black cat named Eboni.

Occupation:  Currently unemployed, but I do a lot of babysitting for family.

Are you involved in your church? Yes, VERY. I sing in the chorale, do the occasional solo, I'm on the Youth staff, I head up the Sign Team, Im in charge of a Bible Study class every Monday night, and I'm the fill in drummer for Youth services and sometimes in church when our regular drummers are out.

Other info you wish to share: I collect and LOVE Duckies! I love to talk, and text. And don't Lie to me. If you have something to say, say it, don't cover it up with lies. I would rather know the truth and be hurt for awhile, then be lied to and be innocently happy. I love my Kiddos! From my Neices and Nephew and cousins, to all my kids that I claim as my own. My current life goals are: to lose weight and be healthier, be more fluent in ASL, and learn how to become a better drummer so I'm more than just a back-up drummer.

I think that's all.

Age:

Hobbies:
Photography - Landscapes, Animals, and people when there is nothing else to shoot... lol. JK, I love taking random shots of people when they are not aware I am taking a picture. Posed shots are just that... posed. Rarely (just in my experience) can someone not trained... pose in a picture without plastering their fake smile, and the mannerisms are usually not the same... especially on the first shot.

Aviation - I love to fly... I need to get my license.

Traveling - This goes hand in hand with my passion for photography. I don't care where... by plane or car... train or bus if I had to.

People - haha... all of my hobbies are linked. I love meeting new people.

Brief Salvation Story
Raised in a broken home, attended an AOG church from the time my mom remarried, till I escaped into the military. I got the Holy Ghost when I was about 9. God saved my life more than once before I found out there was 1 God, and not a  "trinity."  Once out of my comfort zone, and going through BMT... I realized that I was nothing more than the shell of someone who had always believed in God, and spoke about Jesus on a regular basis... but it was a facade.

I was unhappy, and broken... God used BMT to start putting me back together... and continued the process while I was in Tech School (In Texas! LOL), and I was primed for going to Utah where I prayed with a open phone book, and I heard God audibly speak about which specific church to call. I called, went to church the next day, and it was the only church I ever attended in Utah for 4 yrs.

I spent a few weeks in Bible Studies proving that the God of the Bible was not a "Trinity" but One God... and it made sense. I knew from watching my family in their religion... one that they left on the steps of the church as they walked out the door on Sunday and Weds. These people were very real... a little strange... but sincere and real. One family in particular spent hrs and hrs with me... showing me how a real family is supposed to relate to one another. 3 weeks after arriving in Utah, I was baptized in Jesus Name... and on Fathers Day in June of the same year (2002)... I was refilled with the Holy Ghost, but now had a better understanding of what the Holy Ghost was... and what it was for.

Been at it ever since...  :) 

Marital Status
Single (but not for long... engaged and getting married on Aug 6th)

Children:
None

Pets:
None at the moment. I want a dog... :) 

Occupation:
Shipping / Receiving clerk @ Christensen Machinery.

Oh NO!  You two are within spitting distance of each other!
If he gets on here like I do, and is half as "funloving"- or troublemaking as you would see it- you should be VERY afraid. He and I could gang up on you in a heartbeat- you ain't but 2 1/2 hours away.... :laughhard:

So how many "Arkies" does it take to change a lightbulb in a chandelier?

Name:Laci Jae

Screen Name:IowaSkirtGirl

Home State:Kansas

Current State:Iowa

Age: 29

Hobbies: I enjoy writing letters. Real ones, with a pen and paper. Scrap booking. Photography. Cooking. Making up my own recipes. Decorating cakes. (I could go on and on)

Brief Salvation Story: This is going to be hard to be brief, but I'll try. I was addicted to drugs and a pretty extreme alcoholic. My boyfriend at the time was worse off than I was. I was at the end of my rope and thought about suicide daily (I have attempted suicide over 10 times in the past). I started googling church where I lived at the time. Nothing seemed to click. Said "boyfriend" reminded me of meeting a man in walmart that used to do a Bible study with him in jail. "Bf" suggested we go to that church. I walked in one person...and walked out walking on water. I felt free, amazing, clean. That was in Oct. '10. I was baptized the Sunday after Thanksgiving. "BF" and I fell totally apart because God wasn't just another phase and I wasn't going to continue to do the things I had done. He and I broke up right after Christmas and I received the gift of the Holy Ghost soon after that.

Marital Status: Single!

Children: I run an in-home daycare, but have no kids of my own! I do LOVE kiddos though!

Pets: Beef (Mr. Beefy or Fatty McFatCat) is a HUGE black kitteh. Abbie is a tiny boned kitteh. Then we have the "Three Blind Mice".

Occupation: Day-Care Provider.

Are you involved in your church?: I recently joined choir. I've been in church less than a year so it takes some time to find where I really fit :)

Other info you wish to share: I'm crazy but in a totally good way :)

They are just white lab mice. I don't know that they are blind, but they make me think of the mice off of the movie "Babe".

Howdy Sis. Donna.  Welcome to the asylum.

About the "I have a hard time putting two words together coherently" bit, don't worry about that.  One of the most powerful things I've ever seen written was from a guy who was dyslexic.  I think sometimes God works through our weakest points - partly maybe to prove what we can do when we do what He says, and partly maybe to keep us in line because when we try to do it without Him it stinks.
