Personal Bio:
I grew up in the American South and now live in Southeastern Idaho. I have lived in eight states and visited another thirty-nine, plus one province of Canada. I am an Orthodox Christian. I enjoy the company of pet rats. I knit, crochet, embroider, sew, and do various other handcrafts. I'm a math groupie, a linguaphile, an amateur musician, philosophically and fiscally conservative, socially moderate, a firearms enthusiast, and a film buff. I enjoy walking, bicycling, cooking and baking, genealogy, reading, poetry, prayer, and percussion instruments. I am currently following Dr. Neal Barnard's program for my diabetes.

O Lord and Master of my life, give me not the spirit of sloth, faintheartedness, lust for power, or idle talk. But grant me, your servant, the spirit of moderation, humility, patience, and love. Yes, O Lord and King, grant me to see my own faults and not to judge my brothers and sisters. For you are blessed to the ages of ages. Amen.

-Prayer of Saint Ephraim the Syrian

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
- Galatians 5:22-23
