19. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I know Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord. I believe in the cross, and the empty grave, he lives and is at the right hand of God the Father. I believe in the indwelling and power of the Holy Spirit. I believe in the power of prayer and I believe in Gods mercy and forgiveness by His grace. I work everyday as unto God. My life is a gift to me and try to die to self daily that he may live through me. I weep for my country and for our children that die everyday, for the blood that cries out to God. He is patient and slow to anger but America needs to repent and turn else judgment will be at our door. I judge no one, that is not for me to do. I am to re-present the love of Christ for me to others and that is my goal. I am running for office because I believe God wants watchman to stand in the gap. Daniels to step up to defend his Church in these times when He is being removed from the sight of the people.
