Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I and my siblings were dropped off at Sunday school and church then we walked home. I was baptized as a child with my siblings and mother, completed classes and became a member of the Presbyterian Church. Our small town would have revivals, show a Christian movie and then everyone would be invited to go down front to be saved, I was always going down front. During teen years I did complete a class with the Way International but did not stay with it for long. During college did not attend church. However after marriage and we returned to KC, I became involved with my husbands church. Steve, his mother and other church members were many of my mentors. Steve and my faith helped me survive my sons death. Thank you Lord!
