Who am I? That is something hard to define, (as one realizes when trying to do a profile!). Who I am should be defined in the light of the love of God, and in the same light I should see everyone else on earth. Furthermore, it is easy to talk about things like faith, grace, and love, but aren't they hard to define? I have collected what I deem some of the best definitions, gleaned from favorite authors, and will gladly share them with you hoping you will be blessed, but would like to ask that you do me a favor and contribute any excellent definitions you can come up with to add to the list. Will you do that?
