<p>This seems so obvious, and yet you&#8217;d be surprised how many things people will do without proper safety in place.</p>



<p>I remember my my boss coming to work walking slower than usual. She had her arm carefully across her belly.</p>



<p>&#8220;Are you ok?&#8221; I asked.</p>



<p>Her face turned bright red.</p>



<p>This woman, 20 years older than me at the time was enjoying her liberty to iron her shirt while only wearing her underwear and she accidentally brushed up against the hit surface and gor a huge third degree burn.</p>



<p>My sister loves to tell the story of her high school friend Suzie. </p>



<p>My Sis&#8217; picked up the phone only to hear Suzie WAILING that she was blow drying her hair and got her hair sucked into the vent and didn;t know how to get it out.</p>



<p>My sister cupped her hand around the speaker and yelled, &#8220;Suzie, turn off the hair dryer!!!&#8221;</p>

<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<p><strong>My personal statement of faith:</strong></p>



<p>I believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.</p>



<p>I believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.</p>



<p>I believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.</p>



<p>I believe “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” and that we are saved by faith in Jesus.</p>



<p>Some of my favorite Bible teachers are my husband (Craig Sayler), Pastor Jon Courson, Pastor Chuck Smith, and CH Spurgeon.</p>
