About Me

"Christianity started out in Palestine as a fellowship; it moved to Greece and became a philosophy; it moved to Italy and became an institution; it moved to Europe and became a culture; it came to America and became an enterprise." ~Sam Pascoe, American scholar. To me, Christianity is a journey of faith, a passionate relationship, a centering of my life around the most important person in the universe, a discovery of who God has created me to be and a life that is truly life. That is about my faith; to understand me you also would need to know: Being active outdoors makes me happy. Seeing the suffering of others makes me sad. I am social and affectionate. I love to make people laugh. I thrive on good conversation. Family is extremely important to me. And one more thing, I AM OPEN TO MAKING NEW FRIENDS BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO ASK TO ADD ME PLEASE WRITE ME A MESSAGE FIRST.
