GO, PAM!!!!! I live in the South where women ministers are few and far between and usually viewed with suspicion---are they REAL ministers???----so I'm glad to see that you guys are out there somewhere!!!!!

I am Methodist. When my folks were alive they attended the most awesome methodist church with a female Pastor (Pastor Sharon) she was so awesome. I only wished she were closer to where I live, I would attend church every week. (I know I should go now, plenty of churches around my area, cant say why we dont go) only Hope the most important knows I believe!

But I will aspire to the professional pain in my husbands rear, although he might already think I've succeeded on a Grand Level!

I started out owning/operating a rubber stamp manufacturing shop, then sold cars, then real estate. Now I'm a lead banquet server in a major Las Vegas hotel/casino. Strange path.... Most people start in food service then move into a career. But I make more money now and have less stress in my life than ever! Love it!

I'm semi-retired but still work for two small newspapers creating all their ads, formatting copy and putting together the e-pages to send to the printer. I've also run a used book store, worked in ad agencies.
