Hello there. My name is Barbara Fisher, and while I am no longer a newbie on the blogosphere, I am a new book author of God’s Church Is Already Multi-Ethnic: My Journey Back to the Black Church. I started blogging because I can be very opinionated, and sometimes it’s just too much for Facebook. What I discovered, though, is that some of my posts were actually a precursor to me writing my first book.

I am married, the mother of two adult children, and the grandmother of seven, and a great-grandmother of three.

I am a Christian. My biblical worldview drives my life.  I grew up in a Baptist church, and after being a member of a Reformed Baptist Church, I recently returned to the church of my tradition, a Baptist church comprised of mostly African Americans. Somehow, 2020 made me yearn to return to  a place where there is a common understanding of our journey.  My faith, however, remains the same. I am convinced that God saved me by his grace.  Check out my post: What I Believe for more about my beliefs.

I have also been very interested in politics for the last few years. I am not a crowd follower. I’m inquisitive by nature, so I don’t believe everything I see on the internet or TV.  I love to dig deeper, researching to draw my own conclusions. I recently cut my ties with my political party and opted to vote as an Independent, although I have been a Conservative Democrat my entire adult life. You can check out my rationale.

I was able to retire from state government service after 30+ years, and that has afforded me this opportunity to not overwhelm Facebook with my thoughts. I hope you find my blog – thought provoking, engaging, and interesting. Please let me know what you think. This is the one venue where your feedback is the juice craved to keep going and going.

Please also check out my new book. It is available at Archway Publishing. I will be updating my site to include my Book page soon!
