Favorite Things I love spending time with my family.

I love all kinds of upbeat and reflective worship music. I love hearing testimonies of those God has rescued from the darkness. I love helping men grow in their faith. I enjoy NASCAR races, professional and college football, baseball, and basketball. I love relaxing at Pismo Beach with Diana. Life Scriptures "Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4 "So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ." Colossians 2:6-8 "Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. 'For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.' And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others." 2 Corinthians 9:6-8
