Hi, I'm Jon from Illinois

[mortensen_jon]

Well, actually, I'm David, but I go by my middle name, (thanks mom & dad).

Here's the condensed bio:
I'm 47
I have 3 children (20, 18, 15)
I'm divorced, but am thankful to have a very good relationship with my ex.
I'm partnered
I'm an educator (so's he)
I'm a Christian (he's Jewish)
I'm a symphonic musician/freelance musician (he's not)
I'm the director of music at a UCC church in Rockford, Illinois (http://www.springcreekucc.com), and the webmaster
I'm on the ONA committe at my church, which means we're in the process of becoming an open an affirming congregation.
I'm more content at this point in my life than I've ever been with my identity.
I'm delighted to have found Soulforce.org.

Thanks for indulging me in my somewhat "late" :o introduction, and feel free to write with any questions you may have.

jon :)
