Introduction

Hello! I'm a sincere Christian Seventh-day Adventist. I've been very active in church until recently. I'm disabled now, so attendance is a challenge. I putter around the house, do some bookkeeping from home, love to knit, crochet, and sew, work on oil paintings when I have time and it isn't too hot or cold in the garage, sneak off to a fishin' hole now and again, and purely LOVE Southern-gospel music! I have recorded a couple of CDs, but am not really looking for Hollywood or Nashville to call. (grin)

I would like to meet a person who is like-minded. A listener and communicator who is kind, compassionate, financially responsible in the area of personal giving and wise use of credit, honest, loyal and faithful to his commitments. A person who is even-tempered and can see the funny side of life.

Oh, and he mustn't mind being constantly taken for granted and overlook all of my thoughtlessness every day... (joking). No, in all honesty, I try very hard to keep from making ANYONE feel as though I take them for granted, but especially those I love. I've been taken for granted enough that I know the feeling and I wouldn't put anybody through that, especially my beloved. I am thoughtful, warm and compassionate. I enjoy reading the Bible, daily devotionals, praying together, and studying the Sabbath School lessons together. I am generally always tinkering with something, but never too busy to show a special someone they are loved.

I thoroughly enjoy cuddling and snuggling, doing everyday things together as a couple, or sometimes just not doing anything in particular together.

I have my faults, and I know no one is perfect. I'm willing to accept the faults of a good-hearted man, if he'll accept mine. Not that we aren't supposed to be working on them, but hey, life is what it is. Love accepts another person for who they are, and strives to understand them and what's important to them. I view the word "Love" as an action verb, and do my best to show my love by my actions, as well as in words.

I'm generally not one to get angry over things, and I don't mind discussing problems if they arise. I don't usually demand my own way, and I do my best to be a good companion and friend. I believe in treating people the way I would like to be treated, and especially so in a committed relationship. Kindness, gentleness, patience and an even temperament are my most prominent virtues. Oh, I'm human and I can get frustrated, but I don't take my frustrations out on whoever is closest at the time. I go to God and let Him handle it.

I messed up my knee a few years ago and, although it got better after a while, it has since deteriorated to the point that I have to depend on a power chair to go to church and other places. I did have surgery once, but didn't get the use of it back as I'd hoped. I don't know whether another surgery will do any more for it or not. So I don't jog or go walking or ride bikes. Sometimes life throws us a curve ball and we have to do the best we can under the circumstances. But God is still in control. He knows my heart, and He gives me grace to do what I need to do.
