Stepping out of my comfort zone to believe the truth
I remember when the realization hit me that my brother Matts accident wasnt from God. It was probably about six or seven years ago after I was learning the truth about God being good and not causing bad things to happen to us, and that we have an enemy who seeks to kill, steal, and destroy from us.

As the state continues to grow and make strong improvements to the economy, it is imperative that Ohioans keep on working. That has always been the goal of this legislature. For this reason, the Ohio House passed House Bill 37, legislation known as the SharedWork program, a bill which I supported.
