Look Alikes??
My little sister, Jennifer, and I playing with our hair. (Yes, I'm wearing slippers and they look as ridiculous as my splint! Ha!). Everyone says we look alike but we don't know. Do you think we look alike?
I think the resemblance is just the sisterly sort. The hair styles add to the look-alike feeling, but there are also definite differences. I don't think I'd confuse the two of you.
Born in the small, historical town of Vincennes, Indiana, Jamie is the oldest of five children. When she was six, her parents accepted Christ as their Savior, which changed everything. Excited about Jesus, her dad decided to take a giant leap of faith and start a church.
Some of her favorite memories are the road trips she used to take with her dad, driving to home Bible studies across southern Indiana where Jim would preach. After a night of teaching and ministry, they would drive home and talk of things beyond earth’s bounds - creation and the fall, God and Jesus and the rapture, the earthly walk compared to the spiritual walk, and how we are born for more than what we can see or touch. The highlight of those nights was stopping at a truck stop where her dad would spend a little of the offering basket on two slices of pie and a couple of Cokes. Nothing ever felt so special as a middle of the night slice of pie with her dad.
As Jamie grew closer to God and developed her own relationship with Him, she discovered a heart welling with songs and poetry.

Hi Jennifer! When are you coming to Australia??!!
Wow! At first I couldn't tell you two apart...and then I read the commentary.
Why the splint?
