4.0. "Introductions" by YUKON::GLENN () Wed Dec 11 1996 16:07

    
    This topic is for people to introduce themselves to the conference, and
    if they wish, to post their address.
    
    Not only the regular participants are invited to reply here, but also
    our 'read only' participants.
    
    We find that it is helpful to know a little bit about the people
    that contribute to the conference.  So, this note will give
    everyone who wants to the opportunity to introduce themselves to the rest
    of the conference.  
        
    It would be helpful to include:
        
        	Name
        	Location (so that people can visit you :-)
        	Reason for participating in CHRISTIAN
        	Anything else that would help us get to know you
    
    Welcomes are to be located in the next topic.

    Name:	Clayton Watson	
    Location:	LSO (Los Alamos, New Mexico)

    Location:	WRO/Santa Clara, CA
    Reason:	Because Andrew made me! :-)  Nope because I truly value
		an oasis in the middle of the work world that allows for
		my heart to be shared.  Not that my heart is anything
		special, but God lives there and sometimes, just some-
		times He fills it with love that overflows.  I enjoy
		seeing Him in YOUR HEART too!  I yearn to see Him
		in your heart.

	Location:	REO2-F/K8 - DECpark II, in Reading, England, UK
	Reason for participating in CHRISTIAN:
		The LORD Jesus is the most important element in my life, 
		and 'home' is where I find others who love Him too.  
		Meeting others here who love the LORD and His Word has 
		brought joy and peace to my heart for over 10 years now.
		Various pressures do not permit me to participate much, 
		now, though I try to keep in touch where I can!

        Anything else that would help us get to know you:
		I have lived in Reading for 20 years now, with my wife, 
		Ros, and our 4 sons, who seem to have grown up, all now 
		being in their 20s.  We are all active members of the 
		local baptist church.

4.8Wayne ParkerROCK::PARKERThu Feb 06 1997 15:4818
    Name:      Wayne (ROCK::)Parker
    e-mail:    [email protected]
    
    Location:  HLO2 (Hudson, MA USA)
    
    Reason:    To know Christ and make Him known;
               To hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering;
               To exhort and encourage one another unto love and good works.
               
               As I see the day approaching, I find more and more precious
                the manifestation of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, in
                the diverse members of His body.
    
    Vita:      Abba's son for 42 years.
               Married (27 years last week) to Janie; Two daughters, Amari

    Name:     Jill Diewald
    
    Location: PKO (Maynard, MA)
    
    E-mail:   [email protected]
    
    Reason:   To learn more about the Lord to fill this hunger in me and  
              to fellowship with other believers.  Actually I can't think 
              of anything I'd rather do.  No one mentioned fun yet! :-)
    
    Other:    I have two children: Julie (9), and Jordan (6 almost).  I've 
              been at Digital 5 years working on High Performance Fortran
              (HPF).
    
        3 John 1:4  I have no greater joy than to hear that my children 
                            walk in truth.
              
    
4.10PAULKM::WEISSTo speak the Truth, you must first live itWed Apr 16 1997 11:1345
Well, seems that a lot of us aren't bothering to introduce ourselves this time
around.  Part of that is just because we expect that we all know each other
after so many years.  I've been avoiding it for another reason though, that I
didn't really want to share openly what my life holds, though I've shared this
with many of you more privately.

But I suppose it is time.  I'm in the midst now of a divorce that I don't want
at all, but simply can do nothing to change.  When I get a bit of time, I'll
post another note with some more detail about that, since I've learned so much
from it and it's worth discussing, and I don't want to clutter up this note. 
Let me just say that though the last four years have been rough, I would not
trade them for anything - God has drawn me so much closer to Him through them
that I can't even express it.

So, the 'official' information:

I'm Paul Weiss.  Actually Paul Kitson McCahon Weiss, as my node name shows.  My
name proclaims the three human families of which I am (still!) a part: Kitson
is my mother's maiden name, and McCahon is my wife's maiden name.  I work here
in ZKO, and have for 14 years now, if you can imagine that.

I participate here because I've come to love the people.  Any place of
fellowship with those who love the Lord is a place where I'd like to spend
time.  I've been married almost 16 years, though as I noted that is not
continuing at this point.  I just moved into a separate house about two months
ago.  I have three children, Ben (11), Beth (8) and Becca (5).

The home I have is really the Lord's home, and is to be open to all.  So I'm
posting the directions and phone number here, and you are all quite literally
welcome (invited!) to stop by at any time.

Paul

Directions to my house are simple:

Find Rt 93, and take it to exit 3 in NH, which says "Rt 111, Windham, Canobie
Lake."  Or if you're coming from the Nashua area, just take Rt 111 east.  If
you come from Rt 93, head east on Rt 111 off the exit.  Almost immediately, you
will come to a T and stoplight, with a farm stand and golf driving range
directly in front of you.  Take a left, which continues to be Rt 111.  After
about a half mile, you will pass Ernie's Garage on the left.  My house is right
on Rt 111, the second house after Ernie's.  It's a beige house with big stone
posts out in front.  It's #24 Range Road, and if you get lost my phone number
is 893-9624.

4.16God Is Watching US, From a Distance!!!FABSIX::W_HOLMESSun Apr 27 1997 17:2245
    
    
      Hello Brothers/Sisters,
    
    
            I just wanted to say hello to everyone, and let you all know
      how refreshing it is to have found this notes file. I took the time
      to read some of the letters as well as some of the responses before
      I decided to introduce myself. Having said that, this is who sends
      the note:
    
       Name:  Warren
       Node:  Fabsix::W_Holmes
       Loc :  Hlo3  (Hudson Ma)
    
      I'm not in the habit of sharing personal info. with just anyone, but
      I will give some background so you know (something) about me. 
        I've been with DEC for almost 8 yrs. now, and I must say that this
      is the cleanest position I've ever had with a Co., and it's also the
      only place I've ever worked where you can feel comfortable speaking
      freely about the ONLY REAL father we have. Just to be safe, if that
      offends anyone, I'll apologize now, but I firmly believe this.
        I'm 36 yrs. young, I've been happily married for the last 7 yrs.,
      my wife and own (mortgage) a home in Holden Ma., and we have two
      dogs, both of them are german shepard and something else, and they
      are both close to 100 lbs. 
        I don't think that I'll be sharing a lot of my own views, simply
      because the good Lord blessed me with (2 ears) and (1 mouth), and
      I try to use listen more than I speak so I don't open my mouth and
      insert my (leg). I will say this however, I really like Juan Ortiz
      note about carrying the attitude of Jesus ALL DAY, 24 hrs., simply
      because, it seems to me, that a lot of people who claim to be a
      Christian, fall very short a lot of the time. I don't think that
      mean to, it just happens, and I'm guilty of this myself, which is
      again why I try to listen more than I speak!!! 
        Well, I didn't mean for this to be a short story, but I won't 
      take up this much space again. God Bless ALL of you and I'll be
      checking in again for some great Mental Nutrition.
    
    
    
       Your Brother In Christ,
        Warren

          Hi Nancy,
