About Us

Welcome!  This is the blog of Nathan and Katherine (Kathy) Born.   We’ve been married since Sept ’03, and currently have four children.  This is our personal blog and we have chosen to make it “profitless”.  We make no money off of anything here, especially our most popular page (who knew?!?), our “How-to” VW repair link; you will find no google or other ads. 

Our most recent family newsletter is under the “Family” tab.  This is where you can read about what’s been going on in our lives lately.

We are Christians, as will no doubt become abundantly clear in reading our posts, but although our membership is currently with the Bible Presbyterian church of Canada we don’t really consider ourselves of any particular denomination.  Over time separately and together since married we have found ourselves moving towards positions that take the Bible seriously and not just as a story;  for example, we now take Sundays as our Sabbaths seriously and don’t go shopping or out to eat, etc – since we know we need that day of rest, we don’t think it’s fair to ask others to work for us (although, as Jesus pointed out, there are merciful actions that should happen every day, so we will take our kids to hospital if needed on Sunday, extremely thankful for the doctors and nurses who waive their rest to serve us).  Of course, as Christians we also know how extremely far short we fall daily in following our Saviour’s lead in action and thought, so if you’re looking for “hypocrisy” in our lives I’m sure there will be plenty of evidence!  So we hope you extend mercy to us on this blog as we are imperfect, saved sinners who just want to glorify our King.
