I here am new

Hello, all!

I just joined today, after finding a link to this site in a oneness vs. trinitarian discussion somewhere else on the net. I can't even remember where.

I was born and raised Jesus' Name Pentecostal. My Dad pastored several small churches, and my Mom is also a preacher.

I am not called to preach, but I do play bass at church. I learned how playing for my Dad's church when I was 12, almost 30 years ago.

I currently attend First UPC in Heber Springs, my adopted hometown. I was born and raised in the Dallas area.

I was backslid from about age 15 to 30, although I didn't stop attending church until I was 23 or 24.

I have been back in church for over 10 years, although like most, I still battle temptation on a daily basis, and on occasion, stumble, fall, dust myself off, repent, and get back up again.

I think you mean shoveling it out. You don't want to dig into what gets deep around here. It usually stinks and carries germs.
