My Core Values
I value my relationship with the Lord and how that helps me grow in character and relate better to others.
I value my relationships with family, friends, and anyone I'm called to serve. To me there are no strangers, only friends I haven't met yet!
I value integrity -- no pretense or posturing-- the person you see in me is the person you get.
I value unity and harmony-- not peace-faking, not peace-breaking, but instead peace-making
