My Manner of Life

There are only two possible lifestyles: Gospel and not. Full stop.

About Me

My Photo
Name: Lisa Fox
Location: Jefferson City, Missouri, United States

I'm a progressive Episcopalian raised in the South and now (thanks to a job change) living in the conservative Midwest. I worship at Grace Episcopal Church in Jefferson City. I love the Episcopal Church, which rescued me from a life of wandering meaningless and gave me a way to explore my faith and belief in God. On any given topic, I am prone to yammer-on way too long. Sometimes I ponder way more than I should. A blog-friend said that I demonstrate a "muscled love for our Church." I hope I can live up to that. And right now I'm pondering Blogger's challenge to define myself in 1200 characters.
