My Ideal Person
If you are not a man of God at home,work and at play do bother showing interest. I have been down that road of being unequally yoked and that is not an option this time. I am attracted to genuine, kind, funny,compassionate and affectionate men. Men that are not afraid of showing affection in public as well as in private. Someone that wants to be a friend first and open to what God may have in store for a future. That person needs to have some of the same interests as I do or at least open to trying them, and I in return will do the same in your interests. That is how you grow as a couple sharing in each others lives.
More then anything I want to share our faith and beliefs in God. I want to be able to share anything and know that support and prayer will be given without judgement. Someone that enjoys being with other people or just the two of us. If you are newly divorced or widowed give yourself time to heal before you try to be involved in another relationship. It is hard enough when you feel that you have both worked through the issues of your past but if one has not then it makes the relationship off balanced from the start.

Please describe your faith. How important is your faith to you?
My faith has always been a part of my life. Even during the times when I was not able to be in church my heart was there. Being raised in a Christan home I think sometimes you take for granted your personal walk with the Lord. It is only when you go through a struggle that you think back on what God has already done in your life. How very much you have to be thankful for. My faith in God has grown stronger in the past three years and I have been able to rely on his promises everyday.

Which Scripture verses are most important to you?
I enjoy the books of Psalms and Matthew. I can say that there are several favorites. But it seems like God always puts the scripture before me that I am needing for that time in my life.Right know the scripture that has been close to me is Jermiah 29:11 " For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord,"plans to prosper you and not to harm you,plans to give you a hope and a future." I read that everyday and know that God has me on his mind and is thinking about me, that is a awesome feeling!!

Why is a Christian relationship so important to you?
My past marriage was with someone who played a good game. It was a long hard road that nearly destroyed my family. If God is not in a relationship then it does not have a prayer of working. Multiple marriages have a lower rate of working any way so I really do not want to make another mistake. If God is in the equation then with his help and guidance and both of you really working on it marriage is a wonderful fulfilling committment.

Where did you grow up? Where have you traveled? What are some of your favorite places to visit?
I grew up in California and moved to Montana in my early 30's. I them moved to Arizonia on a job transfer and then again to Missouri. One of my favorite places to go to is Branson,MO. As well as my parents living there I enjoy the family atmosphere. This past year I went on my first cruise and really enjoyed it. Will be planning another one soon I hope.

What are some of your personal and spiritual goals?
My personal goal is to be happy and if it is God's will to be with someone then i want to be able to share the rest of my life with them. My spiritual goals are to continually grow closer to God and be in tune to his direction for my life.
