What do you love about MBCA?

What is your favorite Bible verse, and why? 
A: Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." 
For me, this verse provides encouragement and reassurance in times of uncertainty. 

What are three fun facts about yourself?
A: I've met Moses (well, Charlton Heston) when I worked in DC one summer in high school. 

My husband and I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane for his 31st birthday. 

I met my husband, John, the day after he moved to Atlanta from Florida. We just celebrated our 23rd anniversary. 

I grew up in Aiken, SC, in a house that was built in 1879 (with no air conditioning). It's where we had our wedding reception, and my dad still lives there. 

What is your favorite book? 
A: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry: How to Stay Emotionally and Spiritually Live in the Chaos of the Modern World by John Mark Comer
