Why HCN?

Because God said so. I feel He has called me to serve in this church. The potential of this unique "merge" situation in which we now find ourselves is so huge and I can't wait to see what God unfolds through us.

What's Cool

The Indianapolis Colts Winning the Superbowl! Wood burning fireplaces. Laughing 'til you cry. Caramel Apple Cider from Starbucks. Relaxing in my hammock. Wearing a baseball cap. If I could convince the church board to invest in an RV instead of a church van. Oh, and the Colts winning the Superbowl.

What's Not

N Sync. Paying more than $39.99 for a pair of shoes. Beets. Having an everlasting cold.

Remember Me For

I hope to be remembered for how much I loved the kids. I may not run every program perfectly or right every report without any typos, but I love the kids in my ministries and I want to be there with them and for them as they grow closer to God.
