About Me:

I enjoy writing but lack the discipline necessary to write well. However I've decided to write and keep writing until I can do so with reasonable ease.

My favourite subject is Christianity but I enjoy reading about all kinds of spirituality and religion. The search for truth and for meaning in life fascinates me.

I love nature and animals and had a pet dog for years. Walking, especially in mountainy and coastal areas is a favourite hobby.

I also enjoy History and Geography and have an interest in sports.

It's nice to be part of this community.
