BBBernie is Me

I work mostly for charities. Although, in some ways I regret it. I currently have been working for a local church, in Omaha, since 1988. Before that I did shelter work for the homeless for a while. Before that I was at another church in Chicago. My college days and Military service in two different branches started out my adult life.

As for church work, I generally think that it is a very worthy cause. However, working for a church might be the quickest way to make a person into an atheist. Although, I am not an atheist. Some of the repulsive things that I have either witnessed or have been part of within the church communities would either make your head spin or make you puke. It might be an eye-opening book after I retire.

My start was being born in a big city where a large vacant lot was frequently referred to as a prairie.

Outside of the yearly vacations, often in areas that you could still hear the street traffic, my first big move was to the rural part of North Dakota. When I first got up there I wondered why all of the drivers would wave or stop for a short chat. It wasn't very long that I discovered that I might be the only one they see all day, sometimes all week.

Middle childhood was a bit of a thrill. One of the biggest thrills was getting out of the city for a week or so to go to a summer camp. Nothing quite like that for a kid. Even for a kid at heart. I often observed how much the adults enjoyed themselves at the summer camp that was built for and ran for the kids. Most of the adults had a kid or two there at the camp, but some didn't.

As things build, I hope to later give you more about my hobbies and interests on other pages sometime in the future. Along with some of my political and social views.
