Short Bio of Me and My FamilyI have a Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Studies with a specialty in Old Testament/Hebrew Bible from Union Institute & University in Cincinnati, OH. I also have a Master of Arts in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary, a Bachelor's in Ministerial Studies from Trinity Life Bible College, and an art degree from San Jose State. My husband was a geologist before retirement. We met when we both worked in San Francisco in the Ferry Building for the California Division of Mines and Geology. I was trained for a career in Geologic Drafting in Lexington, KY where I worked for the Ky Geological Survey. I was born in 1945 in Portland, OR, but my family moved soon after to Los Altos, CA in the San Francisco Peninsula.
 
I love nature, animals, and good mystery stories. Unfortunately, I got to live my own mystery story, as you will see if you download The Legacy. Ted and I are now located on Whidbey Island in WA. We have two married sons who are both programmers. I have many great stories and insights to share on my blog sites.

Check out these sites where I post essays about the Bible, theology, paranormal topics, a smattering of liberal leaning politics, and UFO lore. https://janetkatherinesmith.blogspot.com,  https://theologylighthouse.substack.com, and look for me on Medium under my name, @JanetKatherineApplebySmith.
