Homeschool ALUMNI - Jonathan's Profile

Hello,
I'm Jonathan, 2nd-eldest in a family of ten, living in Southern Indiana. Originally from Vermont, living there until 2004, and homeschooled for 12 grades. I am very thankful to both my wonderful parents for their commitment and sacrifice, through the years, on my behalf. I was raised in a Christian home, and saved by faith in Jesus Christ in 2006. I currently operate my own business, Innisfree & Shinbone, Inc. Serving as owner, CEO, and sole employee, I contract with FedEx Home Delivery. Driving, delivering packages, meeting people, and watching the seasons change, while earning a living, is quite a blessing! Reading, traveling the U.S.A., writing poetry, driving, visiting with elderly folks, gardening, and trying to sing like Johnny Cash are all interests of mine.

I bought a home of my own in January, 2012. Upkeep & maintenance on the property keep me busy, as well as gardening there. Indoors, a somewhat-elderly orange & white cat makes for great company. :) I became engaged to my dearest sweetheart, Miss Kim, in February, 2013. We became acquainted through Christian Cafe.com, and first met in September, 2012. She is one really special young lady! :-)

I follow news, politics, and current events through talk radio and internet news sources. The direction these United States of America are taking has been a concern of mine since the mid-1990's. It was then that I, through information gained from my dad, began to realize that we the people were not being told the whole story by the news media and the government. I believe that men in positions of great power in the nation are actively, and openly, seeking it's overthrow.
