Personal Mission
Strive to always do beneficial good with excellence, intelligence, integrity, and wisdom that only comes from trusting in God.

Galatians 6:9-10 “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people…”
Titus 2:7 “In everything set example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.”
1 Peter 1:13b God has given us a heart for wisdom and a mind for understanding.  He asks that we prepare our minds for action; be self-controlled; setting our hope fully on the grace to be given us through Jesus Christ.

Personal Identity
I am a devoted wife, a successful business woman, an intelligent scientist, a creative artist, and an information techie. I am a sinner, redeemed by and through my Lord Jesus Christ. I am a student of God’s Word, God’s Creation, and God’s Love.

Guiding Principles
Business practices that focus on high quality, efficiency, and profit all rely on the need for knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of your business, your customers, and your clients.
Psalm 16 
Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
The Lord works out everything for His own ends…  When a man’s ways are pleasing to the Lord, He makes even his enemies live at peace with him.  Better a little with righteousness, than much gain with injustice.  In his heart a man plans his course, and the Lord determines his steps.  Honest scales and balances are from the Lord; all the weights in the bag are of His making. Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord. The wise in hear are called discerning, and pleasant words promote instruction. Understanding is the fountain of life to those who have it…

High quality productivity is dependent on understanding what you have to work with and then adding faith, goodness, knowledge, control, perseverance, Godliness, kindness, and love. God tells us that these qualities will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive. 
2 Peter 1:3-8 “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.  Through these He has given us His very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.  For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
