Surprising Tidbit: My great-great grandmother was a seamstress for Mary Todd Lincoln.
Salvation Story: I was brought up Catholic. As a teen, I lost interest in religion. in 1978 when I was a junior at ISU, there was a young woman from the Navigators who wanted to do a Bible study in my dorm room. The Bible studies were from the Gospel of John, and we learned about how Jesus related directly to people. I realized that I really needed a real relationship with Jesus Christ. So I bowed in my dorm room on Tuesday, December 5th, 1978, and gave my life to Jesus.
Education: I have an Associate's Degree of Science in Biology from Lincoln Land Community College, a Bachelor's degree of Science in Medical Technology from Illinois State University, and a Master's Degree of Arts in Individual Option - Science Museum Education from University of Illinois - Springfield.
Influential People: Dr. Bob and Pastor Pam's teachings, prophetic voice, and prayers for me have encouraged and challenged me to continually mature in Christ. This has resulted in me being more responsible with the things of God and my position in the Church. Pastors have always exhorted me towards excellence in worship, leadership, prayer, learning the deeper things of the Word, and ministry.
Member Since: I have been planted at Living Water Church since December 31, 2001.

Salvation Story: I was saved on April, 1, 1996. I had been thinking about Jesus' love and my need for a savior for some time. One day I got home from work and the reality of my fallen state and Jesus's gift of life became very real for me. I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior that day.
Member Since: I joined Living Water Church in 2001. I had been out of church for a while and some people invited me to a meeting at LWC with Dr. Leon. I recall coming into the house of God and immediately feeling at peace and at home in my spirit. That day, Dr. Bob, the senior pastor, came and talked with me for about ten minutes. I liked what I heard and stayed.
Smile Worthy: Little children laughing.
