Christ kneeling in my bedroom. I graduated from Guilford

husband, Joe Swagger, is Minister of Music.

Favorite pastimes: I have a full time job in
administration in a large managed care company, so church
music is my primary past-time activity. I also enjoy yard
work and doing landscaping at my home.

through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know
in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Favorite quote: "Some cause happiness wherever they
go; others whenever they go." - Oscar Wilde
Advice to others: What ever you do, do it to your
best ability, and strive to reach your maximum potential for
the Lord, and not for the praise of men. [Colossians 3:23]
His passion: Serving others and particularly helping
someone that has a need.
Favorite song: My favorite hymn is... My Jesus I Love
Thee. Otherwise my song favorites are always Gospel Songs
and they constantly change with new music released. A couple
songs that continue to minister to me through the years are:
One Scarred Hand and When He Was On The Cross.
