What is your favorite form of physical exercise?

Walking, I can do easily. There was a time I had a leg injury, and I couldn’t walk. I worked at it. And thank God I can move again.

Walking is great. It doesn’t cost much but to wear good shoes and I get to see the sites around me.

And I get to talk to myself while people think I am crazy. Who else am I going to talk to when I am walking alone? Really?

What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to?

Love to go part-time with my full-time time job and make my side hustle my full-time job. A paying full-time job.

This side gig has to pay off else I am dead in the water.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my job and I am working at keeping both things side and front hustle alive and well.

The Lord provided both for me. I am not walking away from either. That would be ungrateful.

What are you most proud of in your life?

I am blessed with family. Some people don’t have family, and the family they have are not worth talking about, but not mine. When I say family, I mean my siblings and parents.

Sure, we fight at times because our opinions are different and we are all strong characters.

Mom and Dad are both gone into glory, but they were not perfect but excellent.

Values they taught will last forever, and God was good to bless us with them.

What have you been working on?

I am working on a romantic suspense novel. It is a love-hate relationship where I am concerned. For a moment or two, I hate the work, but then, as my characters develop and the plot unfolds, I get lost in a make belief world of my own construction and love every second of it all.

Writing is a craft I enjoy doing. I give thanks to the Lord for this gift that grows with every twist of my plots and every turn my imagination takes.

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

I love a lazy day, not that I am a lazy person full of sloth but I need that time for myself. I need some me time. It is a time I gather my thoughts, wake up later, eat when I want, and spend time with my family including my puppies.

I also have time to settle down and speak to the Lord without falling asleep after a long day or rushing through my prayer.

Lazy days are just great and precious.

Successful does not mean to me how well you live or how much money you have in the bank.

It is a fulfillment, a completion whereby there is satisfaction.

Jesus did it all.

He came to die so that the world might be saved from God’s wrath that will come. His death brought us back to God where we can call God Father, and we will be with him forever.

His sacrifice conquered death, hell, Satan, and the grave because He lives in heaven seated at the right hand of God. God is pleased with his son’s work, and we are blessed.

That is perfect, and to me, eternal success. You don’t have to believe it. But it will not change this fact that Christ died for your sins and that he was buried and he rose again. You only have to accept it and trust him.

He lives.

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

What makes a good neighbor?

A soft answer turns away wrath but grievous words stir up anger. We all offend, and sometimes we don’t know it.

It is best to think before opening your mouth because you can not take back what you said.

Dealing with neighbors it is best to show kindness, and maybe you get kindness back. If you don’t get back kindness, then stare clear. They may not be worth your time. Or they may have something else going on that has nothing to do with you.

You be you and show kindness, and they can be …

What could you try for the first time?

I would like to visit some Gothic cathedrals in France such as the Reims, Amiens, and St.Denis. Then go over to Italy and visit Vatican city. Finally, make the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, the way of St James.

I am not Catholic, but I do appreciate the biblical symbolism in the architecture of most of these structures, and to peck inside to view the nave, the galleries see the vaulted ceiling and facades.

What principles define how you live?

I try to put God first in my life. He is my provider, my help, and my source for all things. I call on Him first thing in the morning before I do other things.

I try to do things that please him. I try not to cheat, steal, lie, or hurt others.

I would be the first to say I fail, but he forgives me always. He loves me that he sent his only son to die for my sins and that of the world. He will not withhold anything good from me. And my enemies will be at peace with me.

If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?

I will give it to the Lord.

If I give it to him, he, in turn, will lay on my heart who to give to. I know I want to give to my family. But how much do I give? If it is the Lord’s money, then I ask him who and how much to give. He will tell me the amount, who to give to and the best time to give.

I may want to give to a certain ministry, but the Lord may tell me to give to another. It is like Paul in the Bible when he wanted to go to Rome. The Lord said no, not now you have other things to do.

I want to give prayerfully.

And, of course, I get to be totally debt free. Amen and amen.
