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: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was born a Catholic and raised as a protestant up through high school; then I stopped going to church. Immediately after high school, I went to college and in my second year, I pickup up the Bible and read the four gospels to inquire about a transcendental experience I had. While reading the gospel, I became a “believer.”

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

I never married and have no children.

I was employed full-time for 23 years.

I do not have a criminal record.

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

I was introduced to mind-altering drugs while a sophomore in college. It caused me to drop out of school and to live a Bohemian lifestyle.

My period of chronic drug use lasted about 17 years until I was able to say No to drugs after realizing how an arrest would ruin my life.

It took 38 years for me to return to college but I graduated with a 2-yr. degree in business administration two years later.
