Good day to you all.

Matthew2819 said:

Hi everyone, I'm Matt. Introductions aren't my thing as I'm sorta shy, but here goes nothing.

I'm a 42-year-old New Yorker (not NYC), happily married for almost 11 years to a wonderful woman who is truly a blessing from God. We may not have kids, but our spoiled mutt, Sargeant, keeps us busy.

I was raised by a Catholic mom and I spent summers/weekends with my Baptist dad and stepmother. My stepmother showed me incredible love and forgiveness despite a difficult situation. I miss my parents and stepmom dearly.

Life hasn't been so easy, with many injuries and PTSD that have tested me, but my faith in God has always kept me going.

Anyhow, I have a bit of a Bible obsession, and I'm afraid to count how many I have haha. I enjoy comparing translations, which can be done digitally, but I prefer old fashioned books I can hold. I'm currently enjoying the CSB, but the KJV (my first Bible) and ESV (great for study) are a couple of my favorites.

This might be getting long-winded so I'll stop here.

Take care and God bless you.
