7. What is Your favorite...
- Bible verse? 1 Corinthians 13:13 " and now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love" Verses 1-13 are such favorites, very comforting
- Time of day? Sunrise
- Movie? That's tough.. I love movies! There's a few I have to watch wherever they come on the TV. The Natural, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, any Star Wars movie.
- Book (besides the Bible)? I still have a fondness for Tolken books.
- Sport/Team? When I was a kid, it was Indiana University, mainly because of my older brothers... Now, I just like to watch a good game of basketball, whoever it is.
- Vacation Place? Gulf Shores is amazing, but Alaska is one place I really would love to see again.
- Restaurant? Vincenzo's , downtown is my favorite Louisville spot. But then again, I love the little no frills places. It's not when you find one that is just about good, comfort food and not decor.
8. Describe your job at Clifton, and why you love what you do. I head up the Worship Department, what's played, who's playing that week and how I can incorporate other media aspects into the service.

The chance to help others feel and share in the joy of praising our Lord is an amazing opportunity for me.
