I live with my husband, Daniel, in beautiful Seattle, WA. We recently moved here from Vermont, so we’re still adjusting to life here on the West Coast.
I teach writing and literature classes online for a college located in Vermont. My own writing focuses on a variety of issues, mostly concerned with the intersection of faith and culture. At heart, I am a teacher, and through writing, I aspire to teach others from my experiences.
Outside of writing, my main hobby is reading everything in sight: road signs, novels, public bathroom stalls, magazines, blogs, e-mails, and of course, my bible. I always am reading at least 5 books at once.
Living in the Northwest, I love to experience all the outdoors has to offer. I love salmon fishing with my family in the wild BC rivers, skiing on our many majestic mountains, and hiking the less steep and not-so-bear infested trails. I run a lot, mainly on a treadmill these days. Ocassionaly, you’ll find me trudging along in some local race.
Drop me a note. Tell me if you’re reading my blog. Give me your advice on how to catch bigger salmon, keep basil plants alive, or keep from falling asleep during morning devotions. I’d love to hear from you.

Welcome to the Pacific Northwest! I’ve lived here for ten years and hail from Arizona. I look forward to reading your blog! I just started a second blog, wherein I’ll be writing about my faith and what I’m learning and working through in the moment. It’s nice to find that there’s another Christian in Washington state!
We have so much in common, except you have more books going at once than I do. I have 4
I am originally canadian and I lived in BC for a while. It was so awesome there I miss it.
Interesting blog.
You left a comment after mine about feminism on some blog somewhere. So I stopped by and am subcribing to see what you have to say. If you drop by my blog, don’t correct my grammar or anything, teach!
Hi! I just saw your blog on a list and I thought I would check it out! I am going to book mark your page so I can visit! I am a school teacher/photographer/musician who is a Christian/wife/mother….
Take care! —Myra Johnson
Hi! I am so happy that I stumbled upon your blog (I think it was the Switzerland post because I just was there and visited a great cathedral in Old Town.) I’m new to this blogging business, but am giving it my best shot. I love to read and write as well and love the idea of the Shelfari website! Any hints on what to do and how to manage a blog would be most welcome. I’m still learning the basics!
Thanks so much,
Emily

AL: Thanks for stopping by my site! It’s great to hear that you’ve started blogging, and that we share a love of books and it looks like Switzerland and cats as well! My advice, keep writing. Even if you don’t start with a brilliant idea, write something and see where it takes you. Writing for most writers, even bloggers, is all about getting into the habit and practice of writing. Best of luck in your blogging adventures!
How to keep Basil plants alive. Never cut the stems but pinch out above a bud joint. Of course you may already know this.
AL: I’m going to take that one to heart, judging from your English garden know how, you must be a pro at this sort of thing. =) Thanks for the advice. I’m sad that my basil is at the end of its season, so it’s time for me to replant for some indoors.
Hi Amy,
I just saw that you were mentioned today on the ESV Bible Blog (http://www.esv.org/blog/2008/10/bible.on.shelfari). Pretty cool !
AL: That’s really great! You’re the first to tip me off on that! I had no clue that the ESV even had a blog. Guess it’s something I should add to my Google reader now! I must admit that I’m honored to see my name on that list quoted next to all those other people. I wish they’d say something like “Amy Letinsky, simple blogger, not one of those other big guys that we typically quote here.” Don’t want to give people the wrong impression! Thanks so much for letting me know!
