Heroes
Jesus, Paul and all of the other great heroes of the Bible. My late sister, Sandy, who was one of my first real role models. My wife, also named Sandi (but with an "i") for putting up with me and giving me a new lease on life. My kids, for teaching me the meaning of unconditional love. The many, many people who have shared their wisdom, experiences and good advice to me over the years.
About me: I'm 40 years old, live in east Tennessee and married to a wonderful lady named Sandi. We have 4-year-old twin girls named Zoe and Neely, and one on the way! We also have three cats: Millie, Peaches and Sammy. I work as a dining services supervisor, and I am also a part-time student at the University of Tennessee, majoring in communication studies with a minor in political science. I am a Christian, Pentecostal/Charismatic in theology, and I write Bible articles online. I am a part of an awesome church called Word of Faith Christian Center.
I also love to cook, especially hot and spicy dishes, and I am a competitive hot sauce maker. Other interests include reading, music and working out.
On May 3, 2007, Sandi and I lost our baby daughter Bella to a genetic condition known as Trisomy 13, or Patau Syndrome. We are now committed to raising awareness of this horrible condition.
Who I'd like to meet: As far as I'm concerned, if you want to be my friend, that's great! If you want me to list you, though, I do ask that your profile be reasonably "family friendly" and that it not be simply a commercial advertisement.
Hey, I didn't get a message from you. I've not been at the station lately- I don't have much time to be there and I only feel like I'm in the way when I'm there.
Just stopping in to tell you I LOVE YOU! Kiss Sandy and the girls for me! Headed to Middle East on Thursday to hang with Jen for awhile! Im so excited! Bring her and the boys back so we gotta get all the kids together so they can play. Maybe we could all go to Dollywood one day!
Oh, I am soooooo sorry about that! I am taking 4 classes this month- for 7 hours a day- I am more exhausted than I have ever been in my life. Definitely try to take Benny's training- you'll love it. And maybe I can have Shibley or someone show you VT- it'll be fun!
Hello Just thought we would tell you a praise report. God has really been opening some doors for us. Thank you for your prayers and feel free to keep them up. God Bless You Terry and Tina Click here ^ For our Christian T Shirts

Hello again.
We are posting this with all our friends. We are 2 weeks away from going to God stock. We would like to take a nice selection and quantity of shirts but this is expensive. We know many of our friends pray for us and even help support our ministry. If you could please look at our site and if Christian T-Shirts are not your thing tell your friends about us.
God Bless You
