21. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a evangelical Christian. I have had a personal, active, saving relationship with the Lord since High School. I consider God to be the highest authority and consider Him as the ultimate judge of all mankind. He is the center of my life and I consider it the utmost privilege to be considered one of God's children. I believe God's word to be without error and very much applicable to today's world. My values are that of a God fearing Christian--human life is sacred, the body is a temple to worship the Lord, marriage is a sacrament to the Lord that represents Jesus and the church. God is the creator of the world and He will be the final judge.
