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.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

After the service and loosing my highschool sweetheart wife to someone else, I want to die from the pain. I experienced what I learned to be satan wanting my life in me heart chasing me to kill myself. I found myself on the doorstep of a police station to keep from injuring anyone else in my driving my car running from satan madness wanting the car to take me off a bridge while my eyes were closed. With no response or action from the police I sat on the entry steps, crying, my heart heavy with loss and despair and I couldn’t even take my own life successfully, looking to to God and giving him my life, it was at that moment the chasing stopped and a peace came over me. After that I was continually pulled to learn more about God, yest still wanting to leave this earth. Over the years I have come to realize I am God’s, he literally saved my heart and my physical life and I am here on this earth for Him.
