The season of my life is in a perpetual "back to school" mode. I would describe myself as a lifelong learner due to the fact that I home school my four children and must remain smarter than them! My husband Russ and I have decided to remain married for at least 98 years or until death do us part. I think there is a warranty involved?!!!? I hold a bachelor’s degree from California State University Long Beach in Political Science with an emphasis in Constitutional Law. I am excited to be part of Caffeinated Thoughts and hope to contribute substantially to the Conservatism foundation that America was built upon. My love of country drives me to write in order to get others thinking, and perhaps agitated at times, that they too may join the conversation and therefore help make a difference “Righting” the wrongs in our country before it is too late. I love music with every extra ounce of my body and if there are any ounces left at the end of the day, I enjoy unwinding with my guitar. I am a worship leader for a small church in my town and I teach guitar as well. I also am an American and World History with Art and Government and Economics instructor for the Biola STAR Academics, a home schooling program in Southern California. And most of all, should the Lord tarry, and if I live to see my 98th wedding anniversary, I choose to love, serve and honor Jesus Christ while I have breath in my body. You can find Mary on Twitter as @1Theosebes (Theosebes is Greek for Worshipper of God) and also on Facebook.
