Words of Wisdom:
1) Be at peace today & dont worry about tomorrow it will take care of
itself. 2) Commit yourself to tenderly relate to other people. You do not
know the heartache they may have experienced or may be experiencing. You
may be their last hope.
Most Embarrassing Moment in High School:
Not being able to start the alma mater low enough!
The Way Things Ought to Be:
I would love to see people learning the ways of Jesus Christ through
personal faith in him as savior & lord. I would love to share the Jesus I
know not the Jesus or Christianity that is presented & ridiculed by the
news & magazines media. The Jesus I know is with me daily in my thoughts,
words, and actions. He is with me during the days of calm & is with me
during stormy days as well. Jesus Christ really is the Way, the Truth, &
the Life now and forever!
