About Me

I’m a student at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago. I hope to become a social worker someday. My dream is to open an assisted living center for those with special needs. With my degree I hope to place special needs individuals in good foster homes.I NEED to sing in a Jazz club before I die or my life might not be complete.I have lots of true friends!A lady from Church gave me the best advice ever, "Thanks God"! So no matter how hard things get I think of her wonderful words.I want to do what the Theotokos did and follow the will of my Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ."The domed interior swallows up the day. Here, where to light a candle is to pray, The candle flame shows up the almond eyes of local saints who view with no suprise their martyrdoms depicted upon walls on which the filtered daylight faintly falls... Of much kissed ikons, dating from, perhaps the fourteenth century. Thus vigorously does the old tree grow, by persecuation pruned, watered with blood, it's living roots deep in pre-Christian mud. It needs no bureaucratical protection. It is its own perpetual resurection..." John Betjeman on what Orthodox Christians hold precious
