Favorite Scripture and Why:  
It's ALL good but here are two significant:
Luke 9:62 "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." Besides having plowed ground and learning what happens when you always look back, this verse came at a crossroads in life when looking forward meant the world.

Psalm 34:1-3 "I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips. My soul will boast in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together." It's what I do (or at least try to do).

Favorite Movie:  
"The Goonies" It's just plain fun! 

What I like best about my ministry:  
There's always something else to do.
