Engage in a life-long learning process of loving God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength and loving my neighbor as myself. (Duet. 6:5 and Matt. 22:36-39)

Philosophy on Life

Through a progressive understanding of the sacrifice Jesus Christ made for me, I will seek to live an others focused life. I am learning the importance of maintaining a close walk with God so He can fill me to overflowing and His love may flow from me to others. (John 7:37-38)
