Miso Pretty

Well, here she is in all her glory! Miss Minnie after her first grooming. Not happy. Not happy at all.

The bows lasted about 2 hours, and whatever they sprayed on her as a deoderant made her go into seizures, so before the day was out, I had cut off those stupid bows, and given her yet another bath. She recovered quickly in her *Pirate Puppy* T-Shirt Scott bought her in Seattle. It's the polar opposite of this picture. The shirt is black with a skull and crossbones on it and in red it reads "Pirate Puppy"... But you know what?? She loves that shirt.

So it just goes to show you that sometimes you can wear the outfit, and othertimes, it's more like the outfit is wearing you.

Poor Minnie Lou... I will have to learn to groom her myself.

Welcome To The Accidental Anabaptist

I am Kelly,... wife, to Scott, and mother to five... grandmother to six (and counting!!). We live in the great State Of Texas, and have family scattered from Connecticutt to Ohio, to Texas.

Why do I call myself *the Accidental Anabaptist*???

Because it was completely unintentional! While living in Ohio, I was befriended by a Mennonite woman. She invited me to church & opened the door to a *3rd Way* of worship.

The rest is history!

What is the primary focus of Anabaptist?:

Non-resistance, refusing to swear oaths, separate from the world, dressing modestly, & dying to self to start with.

Please see my *links* section at the bottom of the page for more information on the Anabaptists, their history, and how they live out their convictions.

My life is not simply about being Anabaptist... It's about a devotion to God, and that's the earthly label that I identify with most.

I am not *PLAIN* in the most dramatic sense, but I am simple, modest, and conservative in a practical sense. I do not dress to align with any particular church.

I have a world of genuinely plain friends who I love dearly. They have taught me to be a better person through their fellowship. They are not afraid to challenge me, and I adore them for their honesty.

I would like to be a bridge *to* the conservative Anabaptists, their doctrine, different practices, and a simpler life for everyone, for anyone who is interested.

I hope to challenge the reader to be open minded without selling out, to be less judgemental of what you don't understand, and to serve God with passion, and not lip service.

Blessings,

Kelly
