About Me
I am now married to Tom Daniels. I have three beautiful children, Alexis (23), Robbie (22), and Sean (19). Tom has 3 sons. He works for Evergreen Engineering in Eugene, Oregon and I am volunteering as a counselor, support group facilitator for women involved in domestic violence, and a help with Kids Connecting which provides supervised visitation for the non-custodial parent.
Alexis lives in Atlanta, Georgia. She is very involved in a church that Worships the Lord. She works as a translator (Spanish) for the Children's First Program and has started courses to obtain her teaching degree She wants to work with women and children in South America. She has far surpassed my expectations and 10 times the woman I am.
Robbie is in the Air Force in Minot, North Dakota and looking forward to his exit time. He is a great friend because he is a great listener. I am very proud of him
Sean is now in his final training in the Navy as an aeronautical technician stationed at the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. He is doing very well. He keeps me living truthfully.
Non of my children are married and I have no grandchildren. I look forward to the day!
Two of Tom's boys are not married and live in the Portland area. His firstborn I have never met but we pray we will some day and meet his two girls. Tom is a gift from God to me. I know this probably sounds corny but truly God brought him to me. I am very thankful to be walking with a man who loves the Lord more than he loves me, who is truthful, real, and a true gentle man.
My Interests
Loving God with my entire being, loving others even my enimies and speaking into peoples lives the Word of Truth, This trully is my heart throb.
Employment or Career
I'm no longer working for pay but do volunteer work for a group called CAFA (Christians As Family Advocates) as a support group ifacilitator in Eugene, Oregon and assist Kids Connecting which provides supervised visitation to non-custodial parents You might not know this but back about 17 years ago I began volunteering for a battered woman's shelter in Rolla, Missouri. After about 3 months they asked me to come on staff as the Case Manager and Support Group Facilitator. Which I did for 3 years.
I also volunteer with Good Samaritan Ministries which providings training counseling, mentorship, prayer & ministering to anyone free of charge. They have a box at the front desk for donations and live entirely on donations. Quite a feat I must say! Tom & I became personally involved with the GSM Country Director, Samuel Kitwika, from Tanzania, Africa. We would like to developing a Not for Profit Company that trains individuals in various trades. The majority of individuals that don't make it to College or University have very little opportunity to get out of poverty. We will be targeting these people with training in areas where their standing with national testing won't inhibit their ability to develop job opportunities and therefore assist them out of poverty.
Music I Like
All kinds. My husband, Tom, loves music and has introduced me to many Christen artist I never knew about and many secular. All kinds!
Books I Like
I must confess I read alot of counseling books. I love true story books or novels that read like this person could really have lived.
Television I like
I have ordered certain TV series from Blockbuster Online, Eli Stone, Joan of Arcadia, Heros and lost have been my favorites. I don't have cable or dish.
Movies I like
Mysteries, drama about real people, and true stories. Some of my favorites is Les Miserable, Nell, and What the deaf man heard.
Sports Teams I like
Don't follow but living here I see signs "GO DUCKS !" so whatever..... I also see signs that the homeless folks hold up they say, "Hungry", "Go Ducks", "God Bless!" It's quite an enterprise I hear!

Love ya bunches. Sure glad you were born.
My work email is above. Our home email is cwjw@bellsouth.net. Jack logs in there more often than I do, but will always tell me if there is a message there for me.
Have you joined the LEAD group? Please do! I so enjoyed the privilege of getting to know you there. Only wish I had availed myself more of the opportunity.
Jack and I arer in Pace, Florida. We've been in Florida since 1989. Our boys Jake and Johnny Ray are 22 and 25, respectively. Our youngest, Jake is living in San Diego right now with Jack's brother and sometimes fellowships with Donnie and Bernie Smith's son, Ryan. They both are crazy about fishing. Ryan was a deckhand on a charter boat last I heard. Jake did that fresh out of high school here in Florida. Johnny Ray is married to his high school sweetheart and in the Navy. He's been in since September of 2001.
Jack and I coordinate a fellowship in Crestview, Florida near here and are blessed to network with believers wherever we go. It's a wonderful privilege this life we live, isn't it?
Jack is doing great! So hot for the Word = like never before. He was always such a worker-bee in the body, but here lately he has a fire under him and a hunger like never before for God's matchless Word. It is such a thrill.
I am a juvenile prosecutor here. I describe myself as a social worker in a prosecutor's outfit and with a prosecutor's tools. I love the work I am able to do with children's lives. Very fulfilling.
Well, I just wanted to say hello and God bless and I love you. I you and your family ever make it Florida, stop in and stay a spell. We have plenty of room.
