Please provide a short testimony about your relationship with Christ?
Over the last 8 years, I have learned that salvation is truly a beginning, not an end. Growing up, I was taught that you were saved to escape hell. You got baptized & went on your merry way. Now I know that I am saved to live & to bring others to Christ. How I live is to be a reflection of the God who saved me & is working to change me every day for His glory.
What’s your favorite Bible verse?
Ecclesiastes 7:8-9
What was the best concert you’ve ever been to?
I’ve only been to one concert.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I like change, so I would live in lots of different places for short periods of time. European countries & all islands top the list.
These are a few of my favorite things…
Animated kids’ movies, Mexican food, banana Laffy Taffy & Butter Rum Royals, convertible doodlebugs (because I drive a BUS!)
What do you collect?
Nothing. My kids have enough collections to restock a small nation.
