Qui êtes-vous ?

Offcenter
I'm a deceptively demure hothead with a passion for engaging the world. I'm crazy about my kids, blessed to have a great extended family, love living just beyond suburban sprawl where you can still see the stars at night, and enjoy one on one conversations the most. I am a gifted but critical listener. I've been heavily involved in church matters for many years, but I'm a little burned out and disillusioned right now. At the same time, I believe that God continues to reach out to us, inside and outside the institution of the church. I am highly suspicious of what I consider watered-down and overcompromised faith, but am probably as guilty of compromise as anyone else. I tend to go whereever my curiosity takes me, and sometimes I get into trouble. However, it's usually worth the cost of the trip. Oh, by the way, I know very little about most group sports (I grew up in NYC where the only sports that really mattered were baseball, basketball, tennis and parallel parking), but I want to learn more about football so I can occasionally converse with other folks around my region. I don't think I'll ever be enough of a native to attend sporting events and boo at the home team.
