My name is Martha Aldridge. I live in the Kansas City, Missouri area. I am a Christian and a Southern Baptist. I have 2 kids Elizabeth 16, and Jonathan, 12. We have the sweetest kitty, Sassy. My husband, a pastor of a small church, died in 2007. He was 37 1/2 yrs. old and we had not even been married quite 17 yrs. It has been the most difficult experience of my life. The pain and loss of losing a young husband is more than I thought I could ever bear. Without my Jesus and my family and a wonderful Christian counselor- I would NOT ever had made it. I still am in weekly counseling. I am a conservative, born again Christian and a member of an awesome Southern Baptist church (FBC Raytown Mo). I am PRO LIFE, PRO FAMILY and PRO TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE, the kind that God Himself ordains. I am passionate about my faith in God,and will not back down or apologize for it. My fave Bible verse is Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths."
Christianity is NOT a religion. It is a relationship with our Creator GOD HIMSELF. He made that possible by sending His only Son Jesus. He loves you so much that He died for you. No other world religion can say that about their leader or 'god'. Why don't you check Him out for yourself?
Jesus is the ONLY WAY to heaven and to God. (John 14:6) There is NO other way to get to heaven. Not by Buddha, Allah, Joseph Smith and definitely not by any thing you could do. It was already done by Jesus. Your sins are forgiven if you just ask Jesus to do it. But you have to admit to Him that you are a sinner, and you need His forgiveness. Then ask him to come into your heart and life and be your Saviour and Lord. If you mean it, He will do it! And your eternal destiny is secure. You see if you choose Jesus, you choose eternity in Heaven with Him. But if you reject Him, you are choosing eternity is hell, apart from Him, apart from all that is good and holy. Hell is a place of eternal grief and pain, loneliness and darkness. There is no joy, no love or compassion. No one to tallk to you in kindness. It is NOT a place of parties and fun regardless of what you think. It is punishment and it lasts forever. No way out. But you can avoid it by choosing Jesus Christ as your Saviour. He loves you and does NOT want you to spend eternity apart from Him in hell. So give Jesus Christ a chance- you will not regret it.

Music,of many genres- esp. Contemporary Christian, Christian rock and Christian alternative rock, and alternative rock. But I love Big Band, Classical and light Jazz also. And old movies,esp. Audrey Hepburn, Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire; I am attempting to gradually collect classic movies on dvd, esp Christmas ones. my fave movie is Singin' in the Rain; I also love Broadway musicals, my fave is The Phantom of the Opera. I also am a HUGE "High School Musical" fan (#3 is best) and I LOVE the"Twilight" series and the movie is fabulous! :) . I am a big Karen Carpenter fan and love her music. I also LOVE Michael jackson and have been a huge fan ever since I was very young. Even through all his trials, I always thought of what a geat entertainer he was. He will be very much missed.
I love to read and have alot of books, some of which were my husband`s. My fave color is a deep red like fall leaves. I love winter and snow and cold weather- the colder the better. I do not like summer. My very favorite Holiday is Christmas- I love everything about it! I love chocolate, ice cream and cheesecake. I love a good steak and Italian food. I like to cook and bake but haven't done a lot since Doug died. I am a huge lover of History- esp. American, Missouri, Independence and family history. I am a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. I am a true lover of our country and of my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ..and of course of my family (and my cat- she is a major part of our family!) Oh and by the way, if you see that I have mis-spelled a word or two, or have hit a weird key, it is because my fingernails are long and hit two keys at once sometimes! Either that or my cat is lying on the keyboard.
I am very lonely since Doug died, but I know Jesus is ever with me. Jesus heals the broken-hearted and keeps all my tears in His bottle. Psalm 56:8
