So where do you live, and do you like it there? I live in Mineola, TX. And yes I do like it here.

Are you married? Yes, and have been for 32 years.

If so how did you meet and what was your wedding like? We met at work. It was a small ceremony in an historical courthouse.

What do you do in your church? Sing, worship, fellowship, and enjoy great teaching and preaching, by a great Pastor.

What are some of your hobbies and interests I like AFF, computer games, and spending time with my grandchildren.

[Tina]

So where do you live, and do you like it there?

Pocahontas, TN. For the most part, I like it because I live close to my family. The down side is I have to drive 30 minutes to get anywhere.

Are you married?

Yes, for 20 years. Have 3 children- ages 19, 15, and 9.

If so how did you meet and what was your wedding like?

Met in a restaurant when I worked there as a waitress. He came in and ordered a pineapple milkshake. I told the girl I was working with 5 minutes after he walked in that he was the man I was going to marry. She thought I was crazy at the time. Maybe I was.

The wedding: We eloped.

What do you do in your church?

I am director of activities for the Young at Heart ministry. I usually end up volunteering or being volunteered to do lots of other things working with the youth camps as well. I'm always told I have a servant's heart. I don't like being told that because every time I hear it I think about the Tim Hawkins comedy clip where he talks about "stacking chairs".

What are some of your hobbies and interests?

I paint when I have the time. I love to read pretty much anything I get my hands on. I am a fast reader and can usually finish most books in a very short time. It drives my kids crazy. Lately I've been reading mostly christian fiction and devotional type books. I homeschool my children which takes up most of my time, so spare time to paint now is a luxury. I miss painting.

Other boring things you didn't know:
I'm what my sister calls an educated reader. My head is filled with a lot of what you'd probably consider useless information. The funny thing is that my sister is a doctor. If she needs to know something that is outside of her field of expertise... she calls me-- because she just knows that whatever it is, I'll know the answer. LOL I'm glad someone has that kind of confidence in me.

I could watch reruns of I Love Lucy or Little House on the Prairie all day long if I had nothing else to do; However, I rarely have an hour or two a week that gets devoted to sitting and watching anything on TV unless it's an educational type program that I watch & discuss with the kids.

Movie preference would be varied as long as it's clean. (Think the type of movies that Hallmark Channel plays)

Music preferences: Southern Gospel & Contemporary christian or praise & worship music. I own one soft jazz CD and if I really need to relax, I listen to that to fall asleep.

Snack weakness: Almonds or apple slices dipped in sugar free caramel.

I'm not a morning person.

Oh let's see....... Here are a few things about me:




















...any questions?

[Sister Alvear]

I live in Maceio, Alagoas the capital of our state. It is a tourist coastal city and has beautiful beaches and resorts...Like all Brazil we have our shantytowns and experience lots of robberies.
I want to move to another state in Brazil to pioneer one more area but I don´t know if our bodies can take it! I love to start new works.
I love to study Jewish history and teach those that are interested anything I might know. I love to share information.
My husband and I met in Brazil at a church conference! The first time he saw me he walked up to me and said he was going to marry me! I told him I didn´t know so much about that...he told me to pray that he did not need to pray about it for the Lord spoke to him I would be his wife...lol...6 months later (1972) we were married!
We are complete opposites! I could live in a jungle, sleep in a hammock and be happy...he likes his good bed and the big cities...He is a wonderful singer and musician and I could not tell you the difference in c or d...
I love to study, do research, and write letters...if he wants something researched he just tells me to do it for him!
I don´t have to have a lot of sleep...he needs his 8 hours if possible.
He is level headed, kind, slow to anger, forgives without carrying a grudge, has worlds of patience, sees good in about everybody, likes his things in perfect order...

His desk looks ready for a president to sit down well....my desk is clean but not always in order...
If he hears a noise he locks the house...(See he has good sense) I run outside to see what is going on! lol...
He won´t touch a gun but let me have one!
I love to camp out he had rather relax in a hotel somewhere...
We both enjoy traveling.
I am not a shopper...He loves to shop!
He is more settled and I love adventure!
He would be happy to have a service, sing from the song book and bring a sermon...
I like new things (ducking at this moment) gesture choirs, sign choirs, lights, plays, skits or whatever as long as it is done in sincerity to glorify Jesus.
I might forget to pay the light bill to buy a box of food for some hungry family…he would pay the light bill first…
Several times our young people from different churches have written plays and act out our life as comedy!
Oh, yeah I love AFF but if he does go on a forum it is CAF…
So long live our differences of choices that is probably what makes us so happy!
We admire each other!

We both like people...enjoy church and love the Lord.

I've never heard of him, so I'm not sure where he is. Most of the churches here don't really have a "music minister" per se.

So where do you live, and do you like it there? Oregon...love it here!

Are you married? Yes, 17 years

If so how did you meet and what was your wedding like? We met via one of Sis. Freeman's Grandson's...he was my boss at the time and my husband grew up with him. Our wedding was terrible...Hahaha...let's not go there.

What do you do in your church? We have only been visiting church for the last several months. We used to be heavily involved.

What are some of your hobbies and interests? I love to bake, especially cakes, I enjoy walking, reading and a good movie.



Tim Rutledge, I want to know more about you! I hear a lot of one line proclamations but your avatar speak volumes about the kind, gentle, and generous man behind them.

If wholehearted is reading this, I want to know more about you! Trying to get you to type more than a short sentence is like pulling teeth but I think there is am interesting man buried behind your screen name and am interested in knowing him!

Steve Epley.... Well, you may be gone by now but we've never met face to face nor have we really talked here. I only remember YOUR short one-line proclamations, but everyone to the person says you are a gentle and kind person in the "real world" as well.

Me? I'm just a goon.
There is also more about me at www.randyandgail.com. I did the Hermes slide show and my wife did all the others. The site IS going to experience a major face lift soon. Right now it is just there to provide a place for the links.

What a great idea, thanks for starting this thread.
