Bio
Retired from banking job many years ago. Took college/university courses, mostly for the pleasure of learning, rather than job-related learning.
Married a wonderful man some 40 years ago, and by the grace of God, we are still married and happy.
Western democracy, though imperfect, because all human systems of governance reflect our flawed nature, nonetheless is the best on earth.
We need to be an informed, and engaged people in order to preserve democratic principles. Politics is really interesting and I have from time to time spent a fair bit of time and energy - at a peripheral level, on things I consider important to our democratic ideals.
Having the privilege of free time has allowed me to do a fair bit of volunteer work, time that has enriched my life a lot. Lately teaching beginner guitar to women in prison has been great.
The single most significant thing about me, is that God reached down, and in His mercy He brought me to a saving knowledge of the love and sacrifice of the Saviour. Jesus Christ, who died to save me from the just condemnation I deserve. I want to live for His glory and help others to see their wonderful creator too.
My lowest days since Jesus redeemed me are better than my highest days before He opened my spiritual eyes, to see that He lives, and loves sinners like me.
His ways, and thoughts are infinitely superior to our ways, but Jesus stands at the door of our heart and will bring His light into our darkness, if we open the door.
None of that is to suggest that I have 'arrived'. I am not the way, the truth and the life, - but Jesus Christ, God with us, sure is.
