Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a good standing member of the Methodist Church and have dedicated my life to service to others. My home was given to the community as we opened it as a Foster Adoptive home for over 15 years. We adopted, worked with sexual abused, drug and other conditions. I have set an example to those that I would serve. I love educating the values of my family to all that we come in contact with and in doing so set and example worth following. I have sent an E mail with a copy of my book about our kids. Please share it with others.
