About Me:
I work for a community action agency.

First heard of the Faith as a child...listening to Seals and Crofts...noticed lyrics from "Baha'i Sacred Writings"...asked everyone what that was...noone knew....20 years later i get a job with my current agency...long story...one of my co-workers warned me to watch out for "Janet" she belonged to this weird religion and didn't eat for long periods of time... haha! I asked Janet what religion she was...she said Baha'i...i recognized the name...she brought me "Thief in the Night"...I studied for a year and declared at Naw Ruz 1994. I've been an isolated Baha'i in Iowa since.
Hometown:
grew up in North Platte, NE. Raised my family in rural Persia, IA


This is what I've been working on since last Spring. I think I'll call it "Cloud 9" ;-)
