About Me
I was born in Rock Rapids, IA, and I currently live in Inwood, IA, which is about 30 miles west of Rock Rapids. I have two sons married with children, one son, once married, with children and one single son who lives with me. My wife went home to her Lord on June 1, 2021, shortly after our 50th wedding anniversary.
Favorite Verse
Ephesians 2:8-9: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.”
I like this verse because it tells me I did not do anything to earn my salvation; therefore, there is nothing I can do to lose it either.
First Job
Drafting for a Civil Engineering firm. I would draw up lot surveys and make needed changes and corrections on project plans.
Hobbies
I love working in the yard and my flower gardens, attending anything my grandchildren are performing in and riding my bicycle.
Bucket List Item
Participate on the ground in an aid-giving project with Samaritan’s Purse.
Favorite Place
My favorite place that I have visited three times already is the Great Smoky mountains and their gateway towns, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, Tennessee
Person I’d Like to Meet
I would like to meet Rev. Franklin Graham who leads Samaritan’s Purse
