Jim Michmerhuizen
Beginning in 1940, I grew up in Niekerk Christian Reformed church in Holland Michigan, and have lived a variety of lifestyles in the 83 years since then.
Jonathan Austin's essay has made a powerful impression on me. I am preparing a response; I hope he has an opportunity to see it, ideally to dialog and perhaps continue in conversation.
Some scraps of information about me can be found online, at such sites as:
