About Me

I am a person with a lot of interests, but have not acted on many of them. If I think of "passions" in my life, Spiritually it is Jesus Christ, who has paid the price for me and who has never left me as long as I have asked Him in my life. It amazes me how much God loves me through His Son, Jesus, and how He joys in blessing me every chance He can. As far as hobbies, I would have to say old houses, or old buildings in general, music, and acting. My love for old houses started so long ago that I really don't know when it began. It really started to hit me when I lived in Wisconsin because we lived in a house around 100 years old, and I loved the sounds and character of the place. Music and acting started in church, and though I have done some acting with local theatres, I would really like to do more to glorify God. Other than that I love being with family and friends. It amazes me how fast family grows up, and I have nieces and nephews who are graduating and having kids of their own and I am so proud to be a part of their lives in any small way. There is so much more but not enough time.
