What I am doing on a perfect weekend evening.

The perfect weekend evening is spent hanging out as a family, eating junk food and forcing my kids to watch all the fantastic comedy movies from my childhood.

Interesting fact about you.

Rarely will you find me without a coffee in my hand.

What do you do when you are not at Lifeline?

I enjoy playing golf and woodworking of all kinds….while drinking coffee!

Favorite scripture. 

Colossians 1:13-14 – For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
