Any words of wisdom?

Only trust what you see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears and you will know truly nice people.


At 20, you are what you were born with, at 40, you are what you are working on and at 60, you are what you deserve.

Is there a moment in your life that stands out? A moment that defines who you are? Other than kids being born or your wedding day.

The day Christ came into my life.
