Sincerely Amanda

Amanda Read, actress in her younger siblings' film production.

Amanda first started writing on the internet in 2003 at the age of 13 when she edited the family’s homeschool e-newsletter, The A Place To Read Gazette.  A few years later, her sister Rachel suggested that they start blogging on the then-new blogging phenomenon, www.HomeSchoolBlogger.com.   After going through some technical difficulties and usernames that didn’t fit her too well, Amanda ended up accepting the label that Rachel had originally slapped upon her in jest: Sincerely Amanda.  She has since tried to make her writing live up to it.

Sincere…in the Bible that word has been communicated as “unblemished” (in Hebrew), and “judged by sunlight, to be genuine” (in Greek), as used in the following Scripture…

“And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ; having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.” ~Philippians 1:9-11

The author of this blog is not without blemish except by the blood of CHRIST, and she does not claim to be otherwise. But this website is not about her – it is about sincerely judging current and past events by the SONlight of the World and the awesome story He authored that is History.
