About Me

My photo
Jan
I am an eclectic Christian who continues to seek to know and love God more and more. I belong to the Episcopal Church, which I first joined as a high school student, but left in the intervening years. After ten years of formation at the Methodist Church, I returned to the Episcopal Church where our first three children were baptized here in Corpus Christi, TX. I love to read, teach, and hang clothes on the clothesline! I have been blogging at Yearning for God since May 2006.

Help me see the good

to lean closer
