Connie’s favorite saying is “In light of eternity… this just doesn’t matter.”

  Childhood Ambition:   To be a teacher and a missionary.

Favorite TV show:  The Dick Van Dyke Show

Music Style:   I’m a child of the 70’s.   I like to listen to soft rock.  I also like country and western music.

When did you become a believer?  In 1965. I was six.

Favorite movie:   I love so many movies, but if I had to choose one it would probably be White Christmas.   I watch it at least once every year.

First Job:  When I was in high school I worked as a car hop at the A&W in Commerce City.

Most Unlikely Job:   I worked as a truancy officer right after I graduated from Bible College.

My Hero:  So many people have had a significant impact on my life, but I think my hero is my Dad.

Wildest Dream:  Before I die I would like to go for a hot air balloon ride and go skydiving.

Life Bible Verse:   Philippians 1:6 “Being confident of this very thing; that He who began a good work in you will continue to perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Most memorable moment as a child:  When I was in 1st grade I was reading my school records on the way to the school nurse to have my eyes checked.   I was horrified to find out that I got an “F” in sex!  I was even more confused when my mom told me they put “F” for girl and “M” for boy.

How do you want people to remember you?   I hope when people think of me they remember that I loved them and was a good friend to them, but mostly I hope they remember how much I love Jesus and how much He loves them.
