Favorite Quote:

Proverbs 3:5-6:
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

Hobbies or Special Talents:

Basically, I have a ton of hobbies and interests: farming, welding, auctions, garage saling, deal finding and most recently, raising a few sheep and goats.
I like good, clean fun--with some politics sometimes mixed in.
