I'm a 17 year old born again christian girl. I believe that I am going to heaven not because of my righteousness but only by God's abundant grace brought to us by Jesus' death on the cross! I'm home schooled, in 12th grade and smack in the middle of four great brothers. I am learning American Sign Language (ASL) and I love it. I also love reading, watching period dramas (mostly BBC) photography, basketball,drama,baseball, jewelry making and playing the piano. Some of my favorite books are Howl's Moving Castle, Mara Daughter of the Nile, Ranger's Apprentice, Agatha Christie mysteries, River Secrets,The Virginian, God's Smuggler, Artemis Fowl, The King of Attloia and many many more.
