A Semi-Short Introduction

What is Teen Inquiries?

Teen Inquiries is the collection of  questions asked by the teens at Brumley Baptist Church in Conway, AR and hopefully from the comments from this blog in the future.  These questions aren't limited to just stuff about the Bible, doctrine, and theology.  But there are also some social issues and relationships, and even some random ones (like does the Bible predict the zombie apocalypse?).  And after the questions are asked and I have some time to do some thorough research, I will post the answers.     

How did you choose Teen Inquiries as the name?

I know it's kinda cheesy, but honestly, because it's teens that are asking the questions in class, that's why "Teen" is in the title.
And as for the second word, according to Dictionary.com, inquiry (singular form of inquiries) means: "a seeking or request for truth, information, or knowledge."  That definition seemed to fit pretty much everything I was wanting to cover in the blog, so I went with that.  And just for fun, the blog's nickname is going to be the "TI page" or "TI".

Who is answering the questions?

My name is Desiree' Shaw, I was the Teen Teacher at Brumley Baptist Church.  I am a born again, Bible believing, Child of God.  I was involved with the Missionary Baptist Student Fellowship (MBSF) whilst in college and had the opportunity to go on foreign mission trips (Kenya, New Zealand, Philippines, and Costa Rica).  I have a bachelors in Chemistry with a Biochemistry emphasis from the University of Central Arkansas.  Just a week ago I finished my 3 year course in Faith Bible Institute (http://www.faithbibleinstitute.com/).  My hobbies include knitting, sewing, watching anime, cosplaying, and playing games (video games, card games, board games, rpg games (such as pathfinder and d&d), word games, I enjoy games in general).
