A
BIT ABOUT US
David
and I were married in August 1993. We
live in Banbridge, a lovely country
town in the heart of County Down, Northern
Ireland. We don't have any children but we do have an extremely
cute little tabby cat named Fudge, who rules our home
with little velvet paws of iron! Sadly, our beloved black-and-white
puss, Demitri (DM for short), passed away suddenly on
28th June 2008. DM's older sister, Matilda, died
on 3rd October 2004. We miss them both but are thankful for the joy
they brought into our lives and continue to treasure happy memories of
both of them. You can read about wee Fudge, and our memorial to DM
and Matilda, in our pets section below.
David
and I met while we were both employed by The
Queen's University of Belfast. David is a senior Computer Engineer,
currently specialising in the area of Computer Mediated Communications
and, until March 2001, I was personal secretary to the Professor of Food
Microbiology. Since then, however, I've chosen to become a full-time
housewife and home-maker and I'm thoroughly enjoying the change in direction
my life has taken. I recommend early retirement to all my friends!

OUR
HOPE
 |
"Guide
us in your Truth and teach us for You are God our Saviour and our Hope
is in You".
(Psalm
25:5)
|
David
and I are Christians first and Methodists second. We currently attend
Edenderry Methodist Church and are convicted of the fact that "God
so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believes
in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John
3:16). You
can read what we believe and why (including
The Apostles' Creed), by clicking on the highlighted link. We are
also in agreement with the famous "Four-Alls", as taught by John
Wesley. These are that:
All
men need to be saved.
All
men can be saved.
All
men can know themselves saved.
All
men can be saved completely, through Christ Jesus.
