: About Me

I am a southern gal from Georgia who has lived in the south all my life, except when I lived in the United Kingdom, for 2/1/2 years.

I have two daughters and one granddaughter. I work full-time in retail, and my husband is an organist in our church, and a teacher in a local school.

We have two cats, a male who is in charge of guarding our home and a female who thinks she is a monkey and swings from the trees.

I have always enjoyed reading and writing, but only dreamed of doing on a regular basis. When I was in school I couldn't write a regular story, I had to embellish it and draw a picture to go with it.

I have written a few articles for past jobs and within the local church, but as it goes my writing has been on the shelf for a while.

I am excited about being a part of the Helium family and I have written more in two years than I have in my whole life. The inspiration and encouragement is fantastic!

My passion is ...

I enjoy encouraging and stirring folks up to discover their passion and then "just do it"!

I know too much about ...

I think I am a "Jack or Jill of many trades"...

My parents always told me ...

"To be honest in all things" and "who's in charge".

My childhood ambition ...

Being different..."plaid in a polka dot world".

My favorite memory ...

Finding a proper husband, and I did!

Why I write ...

My head gets so full, I have to share with others.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

The Bible is the best reading, it's history, poetry, and instruction. I like American Idol, and talent shows. The music I listen to ranges from soft rock, to the classic Gilbert and Sullivan.

My first job ...

My best moment ...

I became a Christian, and found a proper husband, and Helium.com!

My inspiration ...

God, my husband, children and all that is around me.

Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Should the Bible continue to be used for swearing-in ceremonies and in courtrooms?

70 of 85

Yes of course the Bible should continue as the book to swear or confirm by. It's probably the number one best seller of all time. It should always have a place in court room dramas, but I want to be fair and consider other alternatives. If we did stop using the book of all truth, in our justice system, what could we use? How about using a medical book such as, "Dr. Seuss"! I think "The Cat in the Hat" would be ideal for new words and phrases, especially in the area of defense. "Horton Hears a Who", might raise some interesting questions. "When and where did you hear a who, and what time wa...
