Favorite Verse: He is the radiance of His glory, the exact expression of His nature, and He sustains all things by His powerful word. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Hebrews 1:3.

"My life has been one amazing adventure and 'misadventure' after another. I've worked in dozens of different types of offices and I use all that I've learned to give my best to this wonderful church that God has given me. I felt at home at Light of Christ on the very first day, and I have fallen in love with everyone I've met. This job gives me the opportunity to attend family events and enjoy my hobbies such as reading, crafting, and making unique baby quilts. How could I ever complain?"
