My Faith

I believe that God has given me a purpose in life to help those less fortunate than me and I try my best every day to do what He would have me do. I always like to say that I am living proof that He does have a sense of humor, but it is His direction that I choose to follow.

I am a member of the First United Methodist Church of Conroe and serve on the Administrative Board, New Member Hosts, parking lot greeters, and Church welcoming greeters. I have been a member of the Pairs and Spares Sunday School Class since 1979.
