My name is Annette Rose Giesbrecht. I am married with two grown sons whom we adopted as babies. I am of German English Welsh background. I got interested in writing mysteries and suspense in general when as a young girl I used to pour over my father's old Detective and Police Story magazines. I did not start seriously writing until later, being engaged in making a living then being a homemaker, although I did make stories for my own amusement. I am a member of Winnipeg Grace Canadian Reformed Church which is part of the The Canadian and American Reformed Church. Two sites where you can find Bible references are The Bible Gateway and Goshen.
The Canadian and Reformed Church base their doctrine on the Holy Bible,the Apostles ,Nicene and Athanasian Creeds as well as the three confessions written in the Reformation, namely the Belgic Confession, Heidelberg Cathechism and The Canons of Dort. The links are found on the Canadian and Reformed church page. See also Calvin's CommentariesWe have two sacraments,Holy baptism (infants are baptized as soon as able) and the Lords Supper. The services for Reformed Churches and Presbyterian Churches are similar in that they are based on what our Lord laid out (see Acts and the letters of Paul the Apostle )For the information of certain people who would rather see all the Christians off the web and the name of God not mentioned, there is a phrase "If you are ashamed of God and His kingdom". Calvinistic Christians, do not and try not to use certain swear words regarded as not by others in regular conversation. It is also difficult to write them since we believe that we should not hurt others feelings or cursing them. Besides, I am glad that God brought me out of darkness. Should I be ashamed?
This is summarized as TULIP
No one knows whom God has chosen for his elect, that is except the elect themselves, nor the time He chooses, because God imparts His holy spirit as a gift on HIs free will,not on the will of the person asking, for example, that "my brother be saved."
It is also the duty to look for and join a church whose doctrine is based on the Holy Scripture.
I am a mystery writer and fan of film noir movies especially produced by Alfred Hitchcock. I am also a Christian, a member of the Canadian Reformed Church. Details on "About Myself" Page.
Canada unfortunately is a pro abortion country and unfortunately will not make sure a woman who damages her unborn child through drugs, etc. be compelled on getting treatment. This means those child who are mentally and physically damaged as a result will increase.A Brief Explanation of the Reformed also known as Calvinistic Faith

Winnipeg's Shame
It appears that Pittsburgh, Penn. is following suite on classifying opposing homosexuality as a hate crime. See Arriests including the whole story which the cowardly mainstream press and radio stations refuse to print.
Good News. The Judge threw out the hate crime accusation. The right to marriage is God given to man and woman in order to create or try to create a family either by natural means or by adoption. Those who are pro homosexual are anti heterosexual. Those who are for gay marriages are against marriages between man and wife. There is no middle ground. Please don't let us follow the ruin of Sodom and Gommorah, Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.
The former election the United States had implications for all God fearing Christians. Bush has not supported embroynic stem cell research, has not supported UN's abortion for the young without their parents' concent, nor has he supported same-sex marriages. These his opponent, Kerry, did support as well as proposed a hate crime legistlation similar to what is here in Canada. We have been asked for pray for a God-fearing leader for the States. Now our prayers have been answered. Bush was relected.
As for Iraq, and that American troops are still there, there were times before when the American government supported someone whom they believed was on a democratic path, but turned to a dictator opposing his own people, and certainly torturing those who opposed him. We forget that those countries have a history of strongmen who truly believe that only by force will they get their people to obey. If the troops and espcially American advisers can stay long enough so that the elected Prime Minister can see democracy is better than dictatorship and torture, so be it.
Katrina has devestated New Orleans and the coastal areas of the Southeast United States. Our prayers go out to the victims. It is best to donate to well known organizations like the Red Cross or donate through your church. Please donate because of your compassion,not because of the race, color of the skin,the political preferences, or class system of the victims. Pray that the shipping industry, oil, and gas is restored and people in those areas get decent means of employment instead of having to rely on gambling and casinos for their income.
