Remember, even Satan's not an atheist....

About Me

I am more sinful and flawed than I ever dared believe, yet in Christ I am more accepted and loved than I ever dared hope.

...just a note...I'm far sillier than this profile indicates..hahaha! :)

I am a radical lover of Jesus Christ, a servant of the Most High God, a temple and a vessel of the Holy Spirit. A teacher of the Good News of Christ.

I know it says proud parent on my page. I don't have any biological children, but I do have kids, the Velocity youth group, and we share something better than DNA. We share the Holy Spirit.

Life is too short to be "cool."

G-Riv Kids everyone else. I LOVE YOU GUYS!

My Blog

my favorite Chuck Norris facts...

When the Boogeyman goes to sleep, he checks his closet for Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants. There is no theory of evolution. ...
