edit data

Jeff was an officer in the Salvation Army (a pastor of the church and administrator of the social service programs) for eighteen years. Now he drives a forklift. Go figure.

He and his wife have two children (one of each) and a dog and a cat. Most of the time the four of them get along with each other.

Jeff’s Quotes

“Annihilation itself is no death to evil. Only good where evil was, is evil dead. An evil thing must live with its evil until it chooses to be good. That alone is the slaying of evil.”
― George MacDonald
