I am from Melbourne, Australia. I am born SDA. However have some insights into the word of God - which might surprise some mainline SDAs!
I am 68 years of age. I used to be a biochemist later turned financial planner and investment adviser and more recently an Internet entrepreneur.
In '92 my wife underwent a severe stroke. I was faced with a choice - to put her into care and pursue my lucrative career or care for her at home. I chose to be her carer.
During this period, I got stuck into the bible and even studied for my Masters in biblical studies and theology with a view to become a part-time independent lay evangelist. I write an "End Time Messages" newsletter with a circulation of 200 plus. I attend mainly Delphi discussion forums and post over there rather profusely, preach a little (when invited) and at times volunteer as a chaplain at out Coronella Home for the Aged/Hospice.
You will find me posting now and then some challenging messages, sometime rather thought provoking and perhaps even a bit controversial from some of the orthodox SDA beliefs and teachings.
But rest assured whatever I say or do - I do all to the glory and uplifting of our creator and Saviour God!
I look forward to a long and enjoyable sojourn on this apparently godly forum constructed with highly praiseworthy and noble motivation.
In Christian Love and Brotherhood.
