Wonderful Reason! We need more people devoted to teaching. Two of my children are teachers, the other two a nurse and therapeutic massage therapist. I couldn’t be more pleased with their chosen vocations. I too am an optimist. The spirit of your faith shines bright in this beautiful bio Reason. It is so nice to get to know you better. Congratulations on your second placement! Blessings xxoo

Reason, so wonderful to get to know you through your words. I especially like your concluding line and I love your "cook" warning! Good luck in the contest.

thank you, Sam, I enjoyed your example which inspired me to do something similar for Andrea's contest. I like the "give" which makes your bio seem like a prayer. And your last line remark about I am and I AM should register with most believers. Excellent.
