And from the state of New Jersey

Any of you who keep up with the comments (I know most of you do) will notice a new voice today.

It's xpatriatedtexan (close enough?) who now lives in New Jersey. Interesting. He can be found by clocking on the title (I hope) or at http://xpatriatedtexan.blogspot.com/. He's started a group site as well and I've agreed to "host' it next week as long as he leads me through it. I'm used to the yahoo groups so how much different can google be?

The host will be receiving emails throughout next week with links to whatever articles are of interest to person sending the email. At the end of the week, I'll compile a list (that's the hard part) and post it on the group site. I think that's all there is to it. His blog goes into much more detail.

Anyhow, xpat (I'm not typing that whole thing every time, sorry) is a Christian liberal or progressive who found us somehow. I'm very glad he did. We've emailed back and forth a few times since I first checked comments this morning and discovered he and I have a lot in common.
