Insight Questions
1. What is your favorite book?
“Mere Christianity” by C.S. Lewis.

2. What are your hobbies?
 Quilting, scrapbooking, golf, playing with my kids.

3. Who has been your greatest spiritual influence?
 When I was a little girl, many times I "caught" my father in times of prayer and Bible study. Daddy's love for the Word and certainty that God answers prayer was contagious. As I grew, he was willing to have theological discussions with me and challenge me in my learning. Today, he is one of my biggest prayer supporters.

1. That they would know and love God in spirit and in truth.
2. That they would have compassion and a heart of ministry for others.
3. That they would allow God to use them to accomplish His purposes.
