19. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

God has given us life and freedom in our choices. As a born-again Christian, I believe that we honor Him by being involved in our communities and building strong families. The greatest gifts we can give our children is being an example of faith in God and leading them to the desire to become Christians and a good basic education that allows them to be successful in our world. We must be good stewards of our environment and thankful that God has provided resources for us to manage and protect for our well-being and for others. Life is precious and should be treated as such from conception to death. I am thankful that God has given His promises in the Bible to help us know our part in His kingdom.
