Jeremy, I read you're note and checked out your website...We have quite a bit in common. I'm 27, recently married with a step-son and hopefully another on the way this summer!!! I even work for Big Blue and am a Christian to boot! You're right, not many swedes go to church. One of the guys at my church is Norwegian and tells me all about the life over there. I've heard it's a beautiful place. Anyway, Glad you're going to be a committer. Hopefully we can work together sometime.
