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.

Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people

Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in a home that always affiliated with Christian values. I gave my life to Christ at a early age, however, I didn’t truly come to know Christ until undergoing various experiences while in the military. My deepest relation came while pleading with God to spare my son’s life while he was going through a dark time in his life. This is where I truly exercised FAITH, while experiencing the LOVE and COMPASSION of Jesus Christ.
