I grew up in Iowa and South Dakota.

Philippians 2:12-13.
It sums up the whole biblical message; this is the paradox of grace that is at the heart of everything the Bible tells us about salvation.

“The Truman Show.”
It perfectly illustrates why Calvinism cannot be true.
4. Who are three people you admire?
Billy Graham, Martin Luther King Jr. and Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

I love Southern Gospel music and have 65 Southern Gospel songs on my iPod. I listen to them often and keep adding to the collection.
