I like to watch Food network, HGTV, l catch a good movie on TV, listen to gospel radio, enjoy sports, checking on my family member in and out of state, friends, my senior plus neighbors, my former students and sharing the Good New of Jesus through acts of kindness. Thank God for my parents who showed me the way that leads to life ever after; for it is GOD that has brought me through, for it is a Matter of Thought. You have to decide for yourself.view less
