My name is pronounced "Jay". Some people see the accent mark and try to read my name with a French accent attached to it. :) Nope, I'm 100% American. (The é is ALT + 130 on your number pad, BTW)

I'm a Spirit-filled Believer in Christ Jesus • Happily married to my wonderful husband, Barry (13 years and counting) • I'm a momma-friend to two adorable cats, Ronan & Teyla. • Occasionally I'm a free-lance graphic and web designer • I'm currently in school full-time at Biblical Life College & Seminary, but since one of my highest passions is studying Scripture and GOD in all His revealed aspects, I'd say that my spiritual education is more of a career than a life phase for me.

The above cat is my beloved feline friend of nearly 20 years, Grey. We lost him the last week of 2009 to old age. I'm trusting he's keeping Jesus' feet warm right now. He was the sweetest cat I've ever known. He had a long and happy life - he was the most loved cat ever. I'll miss him always.

I trust in ALL of GOD's Word, so I try to promote and encourage others to be devoted to Jesus, the Messiah and Son of GOD, rather than to a denomination or church organization. We are the body of the Messiah - let's fit into His mold and not fit Him into ours! When we come together in His name, let us do so only to love Him, learn from Him, and love each other! He is our King!

It is impossible to truly understand GOD's Word without the Holy Spirit. The Word of GOD (from which the Spirit of GOD imparted to us) is spiritual - and therefore must be interpreted and taught to us by the Author Himself, Who is Spirit. Study the original languages, and use the historical & cultural wisdom, of course, but always filter out your own opinions and perspectives so that you can be led by the Holy Spirit, Who brings Truth. The Spirit of the living GOD dwells within believers to guide us, empower us, and seal us in Christ forever - let's learn from Him!

It's amazing to me how much of GOD comes out in human creativity (obviously we get that from our Father Who created us) I can see Him in the "secular" as well as in the "Christian" wherever there is truth, the reality of Him shines through. I think worldly entertainment can callous you to spiritual things, but I also know that GOD can use anything to reveal His heart to the one who's seeking Him and listening for His voice. So when we keep our lives in balance, we can easily value any story without letting it get in the way of our own.
