    • Interests

      I paint, small crafts such as wood working, ceramics, and high end doll houses. I collect nascar memorabilia, design and build radio controlled airplanes. I love the outdoors and fishing. My goal in life is to learn all I can about my lord, Jesus Christ. I have recently started a group which is called Witness for the Lord. I have a deep thirst for the Word and I promised God that I would use this group to bring as many people to Jesus as we can. Invite Jesus into your life and let the Holy Spirit work through you to bring a multitude of people to Jesus.
