: About Me

Jeanna Thomas was born three weeks after her due date in Marion, Ohio in 1976. She accredits her perpetual tardiness and tendency to procrastinate to this exceptional delay in her birth.

Jeanna has amassed an impressive collection of personal experiences in her life, including personally attending seven New Kids on the Block concerts, hitting a stopped tow truck with her car, and winning a contest for the best jack o' lantern and a cake walk in the same day. Jeanna's seemingly normal and quiet suburban existence with her husband and their 2.5 children (the .5 being a beloved canine) is often anything but.

Jeanna's favorite pastime is cooking. She considers food to be an opportunity for artistic expression. Because of her passion for food, Jeanna also spends a considerable amount of time at the gym. In addition, when Jeanna has free time, she spends it with her husband and children (including the dog). She also enjoys writing, keeping up with friends, watching the numerous television shows to which she is addicted, NCAA and pro football (especially the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Atlanta Falcons), watching movies, and especially reading.

Jeanna is a devoted Christian. Her greatest hope is for her children to become faithful followers of Christ at young ages so they can experience the hope and freedom and joy that come from knowing Him.

Jeanna Thomas resides just outside of Atlanta, Georgia with her husband, Matt, and their children, Ashley and Chelsea, and Hogan, their extremely spoiled dog.

My faith influences everything I do. I pray about everything, regardless of how insignificant it may seem. I trust in God's promise from Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope.", and when election time rolls around, I cling to this promise and trust that the leaders who are elected are placed in authority by God Himself. I cannot imagine not considering my faith and my belief in Christ and Scripture when preparing to vote for our political leaders. That being said, I do believe t...
