Perhaps Chris and I sound so similar is that we both have similar skills in conveying our ideas in writing and have similar levels of "education" (in that, when we were taught writing skills, it resonated with both of us). When I was young I would read the dictionary and encyclopedia for pleasure reading, weird, huh? (Well, it happens that my husband did the same thing when he was young!) But I was intrigued by words and different ways to say a thought as well as finding out about our world in the encyclopedia, whether it be history, geography, science, etc. I have a curious mind. When I was 9 I began reading the Bible for myself, since I had the reading capacity to do so and understand it. I had it in my heart to desire to only know what is true so I prayed for God to show me Truth in His Word so I could examine what I was being taught in my church. How many 9 year olds do that! I even stopped reading fiction about that time, because I only wanted to read factual materials. I have continued to pray for God to teach me what is true over the years. He is faithful and He has blessed my with a good measure of discernment. I don't know Chris' background, but I am sure we will find many similarities, but also a number of difference. God knew we would all meet on this site at this time. So, I calk it up to God's Providence.
