With 5 children to raise, I don't have time for many interests of my own. I generally like to talk politics and theology. We sometimes work as a family on campaigns of candidates we believe in, i.e. they hold to a biblical worldview and constitutional government. We like to play tennis as a family, go to the park. Some of us like brisk walks in the evening, which gives us some daily exercise. We don't watch a whole lot of tv, if any, but we like to chill out sometimes and watch appropriate movies or other recorded things.

The Doctrines of Grace have made the bible come alive for me, because I can read the whole thing without skipping past certain parts. They have allowed me to engage my mind with the scriptures and understand more clearly what they say about who God is, what Christ has done, and what I'm supposed to do. Discovering the Doctrines of Grace has helped me obey Rom 12:2 to a greater degree.

Of course in terms of who He is and What He's done for me it's Christ. In terms of who I identify with, I think it would be David and Peter. Both human beings with human frailties and weaknesses. I love knowing you don't have to be perfect to be accepted and forgiven.

Well, it has to start with integrity. It's hard to relate without that. Like most people, I kind of like to be listened to, so I really enjoy someone who is attentive, and I try to be attentive as well. I actually think I'm a good listener. I like to be fairly thrifty and enjoy getting a bargain. I could go on and on about character qualities and my own strengths and deficiencies, but that would take a while.

It's hard to narrow it down to one. Many bible teachers have influenced me greatly: John MacArthur, R.C. Sproul, John Piper, A.W. Pink, Hank Hanegraaf...

My life verse is Romans 12:2. I have a lot of favorite hymns including Be Thou My Vision, Come Thou Fount, and A Mighty Fortress.

I have pretty straightforward goals: raise reasonably godly children who fly right after they leave the nest and grow in godliness in my own walk. Help others as much as I can along the way.

I have 5 children ages 16 down to 5. Two boys, three girls. Great kids! Everyone thinks so. I'm not a big fan of relocating. We are well-established in our community, and I don't know of a better state in which to raise a family than Oklahoma. It is certainly the most favorable towards homeschooling.

I'm looking for someone to love and be loved by and spend the rest of my life with, someone with reasonably similar goals. I'm looking for someone who likes the idea of managing a home and raising some wonderful, loving children. And I'm not just doting. My kids are well-loved in our community. We're not rich, but we manage well on a single income, and enjoy living debt free, so a second income isn't necessary. We don't live opulently, but we live on a small lake in the suburbs with Canadian Geese and ducks and such. We're not perfect, but we laugh, love and live life as best and as biblically as we can. If this kind of life appeals to you, by all means let's communicate! Who knows what the Lord might do!
