[H]eart

Three things I love to do that bring joy and fulfillment in my life:

1. Helping those less fortunate than myself.

2. I love to surf, getting away from all of the distractions of this world and being at piece with my Lord and myself, enjoying the splendor of HIS creation. I enjoy fitness and working out and taking care of myself.

3. I enjoy sharing my gifts with others. I have been blessed with many talents and skills and I enjoy sharing and giving the fruit of these talents away.

Who I love to work with most, and the age or type of people:

I can not pin point an age group. Simply put I like people. I enjoy encouraging our future generations. I enjoy helping the elderly with our rapidly changing technical world.

Church issues, ministries, or possible needs that excite or concern me the most:

To see God’s word explained in simple truth and application to daily life and the walls of organized church with polluted and diluted interpretations of God’s word broken down.
