About Me October 5, 2006
I am associate editor for Outreach magazine, a national bi-monthly publication that reports the ideas, insights and stories of today’s Christian church. We’re based in San Diego, which isn’t a bad place for a Midwestern girl to call home. I work on on features, columns and departments for the magazine, as well as contributing to Outreachmagazine.com. Other various and sundry items not interesting enough to mention!
Before we get started, I guess I should tell you a little about myself. Aside from my job of writing and editing, which takes up most of my days, I just got married, and I enjoy my book club, movies, shopping, and having friends over for dinner. Though I’m not domestic, I can make my own ice cream. I was raised in a Chicago suburb and graduated from Asbury College in Wilmore, Ky.
In this blog, I’ll be bringing you into my “neighborhood” and talking about things that matter to me.
I like the disclaimer at the bottom… Do tell more!
Sometimes there is a difference between who we are and what we do. I do not mean that we are hypocrites, but I do mean that we often wear many hats and it may sometimes be necessary to let a person know exactly which hat we are wearing when we say what we say. For instance, I am a Christian (first and always) - but I am a man, a father, a husband, a member of the black ethnic group, a 40-something year old, etc. How I feel about something as a husband might differ from how I could reasonably see it as a father. Thus, disclaimers are often necessary and appropriate. Kudos. (www.TheBoxStopsHere.com)

Hi Andrea Bailey, I’m Andrea Bailey as well. I like to google my name now and then to see who I am today. Anyway, I have only read a small portion of your blog so far, but it seems we have a lot in common. From living in CA and Chicagoland to ministry and writing. I have not ever really worked from a cubicle, but the person who fell off the ball…bah ha ha ha ha. I so would have been bustin’ up. The poor thing. Are they ok? Anyway, if you ever need an impersonator, let me know.
Take care.
Andrea
