My family


Who are your favorite people to be around?

I have two families. One is my wife and son and his wife, the other is my church family. I feel content and blessed to have them both.

They add to it


How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

Life events, like raising a child or having a few birthdays, add to your perspective on life. Age is supposed to bring wisdom and if you learn from those years, it does. When there’s a child involved, whether it’s your own or a grandchild, you should look at your life and evaluate how much you have to teach them. God says that we’re supposed to train our children and if we don’t, we aren’t following His directives.

Write about your first computer.

My first computer was a Packard Bell in 1994. It cost over 2000 dollars! It had 4MB of RAM and a 250 MB hard drive, I have a USB drive today that is that size! Back then we only had dial-up Internet and the only “provider” was either AOL or a local one called Netdoor. It was useful for research and writing reports and checking email but not much more.

What would you do if you won the lottery?

If I got a ticket that actually won the big prize, whatever it was, I would make sure to pay off all of my debts first. Then, I will give at least ten percent to my church and to Christians United for Israel. Then make sure of my taxes and other government responsibilities. After that, I will put up enough to take care of my family. After that, I might go on an actual vacation. Ya’ll have fun!

What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?

Reading. I read a few chapters in the Bible every day, then I have a few books on my Kindle that I’m reading. If I can find a good movie to watch I’ll watch it and then I also do Mahjong puzzles on my Kindle before going to bed.

If you could un-invent something, what would it be?

They don’t work well in cold weather!

Of course I can!


Can you share a positive example of where you’ve felt loved?

I always feel loved at home and at church too. Love is found in those places most of the time. Have a wonderful day!

What is your favorite animal?

Specifically, Dachshunds. I became attached to this breed in 2005 when we got our first, Trixie, and I don’t believe I would want any other breed. They are loyal companions and they show their love to those who love them. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a standard, a miniature or the one that is called a rabbit, they are all loving and protective to their humans.

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

We’re supposed to take care of our parents, honor them and it will add years to your life. Look it up if you want because it’s one of the Ten Commandments.
