I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Christian-one who stives to live the life therof, father of a lovely daughter. A tax payer whos not afraid to pay less, and enjoys doing so. Creative, honorable, strong minded, rugged, a bit idealistic-definitely an optomist, traveller, adventurer, writer. I enjoy encouraging, and helping people; would like to serve in full time Christian ministry for the rest of my life. Striving to keep my eyes on Christ everyday, for He has given me the Grace and Peace that causes my spirit to take flight higher than the eagles dare......
