My favorite Scripture passage is... "Be strong in the Lord       and in His great Power."                                              Ephesians 6:10

My life principles are...   Gentle with others and with self.      Looking for and finding the good.   Encouraging others to stretch, to reach their full potential.            Recognizing the connectedness of all creation.
