Hello Everyone,
Hi. My name is Sarah. Welcome to my brain, and the information it regurgitates. All of you lovely people that stumble apon this blog will recieve unfettered access to my mind. Why not?
Now, onto my first post.
I've been very lucky to meet and learn from some really amazing people. The first person I'd like to discuss is one of my sunday school teachers. I know what your thinking, but this isn't going to be to big of a bible banging bit. I went to the same church from the time I was born till about age 13. My mother attended here from the time she was born. My grandmother had brought her 2 sons and my mom there as children, attending the church regularly until about six years before her death. When I was 9 and 10, I went to sunday school pretty, ummmm...religously, haha. It was then that I started in Mrs. N's class. She was a woman in her late 60's early 70's, and had been my mom's sunday school teacher. Mrs. N is probably the most responsible for me still believing as I do, despite my increasing distain for organized religion.
She taught me its ok, infact its good, to learn about other religions and other people.
Mrs. N was widowed young and had no children. She did good works for her church and community her health failed her past the point of return. Mrs. N made many mission trips to Haiti. I feel super blessed to have known and learned from such a selfless, loving, human being.
Thank you all for reading
More to come,
Sarah
