Please describe your faith. How important is your faith to you?
My Christian faith is very important to me. I've always been very religious and spiritual and attended church weekly. It motivates how I look at everything and how I interact with others--everyone is a child of God and deserves to be treated as such. I get along with people of all faiths or no faith and enjoy discussing theological issues.

Which Scripture verses are most important to you?
I cherish Scripture. There are many verses that really speak to me. One of my favorites is "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." Hebrews 13:2

Why is a Christian relationship so important to you?
I believe that I relate best (psychologically and physically) to men who love God and take into account the kingdom of God in all they do. Scripture appears to support this: "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers..." 2 Corinthians 6:14a

Where did you grow up? Where have you traveled? What are some of your favorite places to visit?
I grew up in a small town in southeast Pennsylvania, about one and one-half hours from Philadelphia. I've travelled to a number of different states in the U.S., including Alaska, Hawaii, California, Montana, Colorado, and Florida, and currently live in Missouri (since 1976). I've travelled abroad to countries in Western and Eastern Europe and also to Australia. I enjoy traveling almost anywhere but always love going back to the great and beautiful state of Pennsylvania and the City of Brotherly Love.

What are your favorite activities both at Church and outside?
I value good sermons and enjoy small-group Bible Study. Methodists are known for wonderful potluck dinners, and it's always fun to fellowship at a good meal. I enjoy dining out, good movies, theatre, baseball games, and visiting botanical gardens, zoos, and museums. I like to read and garden.
