Favorite Quote:

Proverbs 3:5-6:

  • Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
  • in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
  • Hobbies or Special Talents:

    Basically, I have a ton of hobbies and interests: farming, welding, auctions, garage saling, deal finding and most recently, raising a few sheep and goats.

  • I like good, clean fun--with some politics sometimes mixed in.
