hobbies Writing, Hiking, Genealogy, Travel
music I love almost all music— especially Gospel and Jazz, and extra especially, Gospel jazz
movies I like movies with a good story, where righteousness wins, and has a positive ending. Good music helps too. Example: The Jazz Singer
My favorite thing about First Church is the people: God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), all the saints and not-yet saints.
how I met Jesus: First, as a pre-schooler when I was taken to church by neighbors. Later as a sophomore in High School at an altar in a small rural church in Missouri. Someone asked how I felt and I said, “I feel like I had a bath on the inside.”
random fact about myself: I’m part Cherokee. I have a blog. (Talk about random facts.)
