Members Razor Posted December 25, 2021 Members Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) I grew up in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and have been a Baptist all my life. I have wide interests and follow many topics. I will not simply accept what is currently popular until I have researched it for myself and I make my own decisions. I am always reading two or more books at a time. I do not believe in the division of clergy and laity. If a person is a Christian, to me, then they are clergy as every Christian has the responsibility to 'go into the world' taking Christ with them in both deed and word. I put deed first as I believe deeds show what we believe and either backup or refute what we say we believe. Bare with me if I ask questions. I have always been an asker of questions and was often told when I was a kid, "You ask too many questions." I have always been a seeker of knowledge in many areas. I suppose this is what led me to become an information retrieval specialist. The company I worked for played important parts in the development of the Internet through packet switching communications and in the development of GPS. I probably was born out of my time as I am a specialist only in information retrieval. I am a generalists in the subjects I had to find information about and in the areas of my interest. I have little patience with narrow people or people who will not explore both sides of an issue. Please forgive me if that offends anyone now or in my postings. And...blessings to all.
