well, where to begin?

born and raised in the pacific northwest, usa. currently living in canada, with plans to move back to the states come the end of the year.

love books (dickens, dillard, hugo, lewis) music (sixpence none the richer, over the rhine, the innocence mission...) travel, tea, coffee, and getting to know people with all sorts of backgrounds and beliefs.

graduated with a BA in intercultural studies a year ago (at the same place Linford went to HS, actually) and am looking into going on to get my masters in the years to come. (anyone know of a good place to go?)

looking forward to getting to know some of you better.

blessings!

we've been waiting for the bio to go with the posts
welcome, joshua
i don't know a good place with a masters in that field
but, then, I'm from the sticks

Hi Joshua! Welcome to the Orchard! (Well, you've been around, but it's nice to be properly introduced. ) Where are you in Canada right now?

Welcome to the forums, Josh!

welcome joshUA!!

Hi Joshua!

Like your avatar... hopefully we can cheer you up before too long.

Welcome, Joshua!

Not sure what you're looking for in a grad school, exactly, but you might check out the programs at Wheaton. They offer a couple of intercultural studies degrees.

Welcome Joshua, question...were you born in Spokane, Wa? If so, me too only six days before you were.

Welcome Joshua, glad to have you on board!

Thanks for the intro...and you like Baseball...and Hockey...WOO HOO

Nice to meet you Joshua. I hope that you find a great community of ideas here. Welcome!

Welcome Joshua, Glad to have you here...

Hey! I am new . So I offer a newbie WELCOME. Do you like red Tea?

Can I say that I love your signature quote? I have a t-shirt with that quote on it (for they will know we are Christians by our t-shirts). I work for Wycliffe Bible Translators, so I'm pretty interested in missions. Do you have any involvement there, or are you just a supporter?

thanks for the warm welcome, everyone!

as a matter of fact, i was born in Spokane, WA.

currently i am living outside of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. while i love Canada, i'm looking forward to heading stateside again. nothing else like the pac nw.

thanks for the tip on the grad school. i'll have to check them out.

red tea rocks. tea in general is amazing.

and, i can't call myself a wahingtonian and not like coffee. t'would be a crime!

again, thanks for the warm welcome, i look forward to getting to know you all.

grace be with you,
joshua

well that is cool. not at Sacred Heart by chance?

and also you are right about the crime you would be committing if you said you didn't like coffee!

Deaconess, actually.

how long did you live in Spokane? i spent about 20 years there.

my parents still call it home, and my sister lives in N. Idaho now. i've not been back in a while, but i'm looking forward to visiting in about 10 days or so.

i was born there, but when i was about two my family moved to walla walla.

nice to have you in the Orchard!

ah yes.... walla walla. i've enjoyed my trips i've taken there. besides, they've got wonderful onions.

thanks! it's nice to be here!

I have a T-shirt with THAT quote on it. JMc is a genius.

Yes! Someone caught the reference! He had another one that said "I sing in my car." I wanted that one, too.

Welcome, Joshua!

: )

hello Joshua!

i dont have anything interesting or funny to say. i dont know anything about your studies or about a good masters program in your field but

i just wanted to say hello and welcome! and i like peanuts.
d.

I have that one, too, though in my case it ought to be amended to "I sing in other people's cars."


[Sorry about the hijack, Joshua.]

no, no....quite alright! it is amazing how a subject can come from another, and then another.... it's quite entertaining.

blessings!
