18. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian and have found salvation through Jesus Christ. Above all else I answer to God in my decision making each day. I am disappointed that over the last 50 years, the church has abdicated its responsibility as the moral compass of our society due to the fallacy of "separation of church and state". It is time to bring God back into the decision making process both in Washington and in Austin.
