I'm interested in (haven't gotten to do yet but hope to get the chance to someday) or find enjoyable (those I have done) activities such as music, reading, traveling, the mountains/midwest farmland country/beach, walking, exercising, fishing, gardening, bowling, jigsaw puzzles, quilting and other sewing, candles, floral decorations, crafts to include latchook, collecting tins/other items, cooking/baking,going to the park/acquarium/museum/amusement park/orchard, sitting on the porch rocking while watching the birds, sipping a good cup of coffee or sweet iced tea, etc.
I also think it would be interesting to go whitewater rafting, skydiving, fishing in a mountain stream, on a riverboat cruise, swimming with dolphins, & to the opera someday as well. One day, also, I'd like to purchase a telescope to observe the vast devine universe God created

I view different kinds of movies including religious, true stories, action, etc. I enjoy different kinds as long as they're decent in content & there's quite a few I like; too many to mention. To name a few . . . I also like 'The Gospel According To Matthew' starring Bruce Marchiano, 'The Passion Of The Christ' starring Jim Caviezel, 'The End Of The Spear', 'Beyond The Gates Of Splendor', 'Last Flight Out', 'Love Comes Softly', 'Loves' Long Journey', 'Love's Enduring Promise', 'Be Still', 'One Night With The King' (Luke Goss did a stellar job of portraying the king), 'The Chronicles Of Narnia', &'Lord Of The Rings'. The 'Chronicles of Narnia' & 'The Lord Of The Rings' may seem controversial to some, but to me, it symbolizes the struggle in the spiritual world of good & evil with good triumphing over evil which is what I like about those particular movies. However, I do not like 'Harry Potter' which is evil. I do enjoy also 'Gone With The Wind' & 'Scarlett'; although I think the movie 'Scarlett' was even better than 'Gone With The Wind', I think both were/are classics. And . . . FoxFaith films are also producing wonderful works! I also recommend a new movie that is currently being filmed so is not yet released entitled 'Ruth: The Journey Of Hope' starring Sherry Morris as Ruth & Carman as Boaz. I just know that it will be a good show!
On television, I watch FOX, INSP, TBN Networks; The Learning Channel, The History Channel; 'America's Most Wanted'; local news, etc.; & I'm a big fan of 'The Andy Griffith Show' & 'The Waltons'! I just also have to recommend people see Jim Bakker’s New Show #1081-1083 featuring Dr. Paul Hegstrom (a movie was made about him entitled ‘Unforgivable’ & Paul Gungor as guests. It’s some of his best shows & I really think you will enjoy them. Mark is simply, not only humorous, but also brilliant in his presentations & Paul is informational/inspirational!
MUSIC
My Mother & I were on a stretch of highway in Kentucky on the way home from burying my Father in Indiana. It was a starry night and I turned on the radio. 'To Where You Are' by Josh Groban was the 1st song that came on (I couldn't believe it when I started hearing it; had never heard it before then)! I sang right along with it though. It really touched my heart. My Mom still cries whenever she hears it playing (I went out & bought the CD with this song). This young man has such an amazing voice that it astounds me!
My very favorite song is 'Sometimes He Calms The Storm' by Scott Krippayne & some others I very much like are 'Who Am I?' by Casting Crowns (see above video), 'Mary Did You Know?', 'To Where You Are' & 'Alejate' by Josh Groban, 'Believe' by Andy Chrisman, 'Surrender' by 4Him, 'Victory' by Yolanda Adams, 'One Night With The King', 'Holy' & 'Legacy' by Nicole Nordeman, 'His Strength Is Perfect'/'I Will Be Here'/'God Is God'/'For The Sake Of The Call' by Steven Curtis Chapman (many people think of their spouse when they hear this song but I think of God as if He is speaking to me in song), 'He Is Jehovah' sung by Kenneth Copeland, 'I Am A Friend Of God' by Israel Houghton, 'I Will Be Here For You' by Michael W. Smith (I think again of God speaking directly to me thru song when I hear this), 'Homesick' & 'Word Of God Speak' by Mercy Me, 'In Christ Alone', 'So Help Me God' by Steve Zuwala, 'Only The World' by Mandisa, 'One Of These Days' by FFH, 'He Reigns' by The Newsboys, 'His Eye Is On The Sparrow', 'How Great Thou Art', 'Man Of War' by Byron Cage, 'Creed' & "Hold Me Jesus' by Rich Mullins, 'I Need You To Survive' by Juanita Bynum, 'Adore' by Jaci Velasquez, 'In Christ Alone' by Michael English, and 'Forever Love' by Reba McEntire.
I like to listen to several artists to include Kim Clement, Dottie Rambo, Steve Zuwala, Jaci Velasquez, Fernando Ortega, Mary Mary, Rich Mullins, Scott Krippayne, Yolanda Adams, Andy Chrisman, Casting Crowns, Crystal Lewis, Judy Jacobs, Michael W. Smith, Michael English, Ray Boltz, Mercy Me, Rich Mullins, Steven Curtis Chapman, Mark Schultz, Kirk Franklin, My Brothers' Keeper (not the rap group but the Christian band), Avalon, Juanita Bynum, Israel Houghton, Selah, Amy Grant, Martha Munizzi, FFH, The Newsboys, Mandisa, Nicole Mullen, Byron Cage, Jessica Archer, Mike Perky's 'Beulah Land', Carrie Underwood, Johnny Cash, Josh Groban, Rascal Flatts, Lee Greenwood, etc. etc. etc..........
Oh . . . I LOVE music; I have since I was a little baby I've been told which is true as I've loved music ever since I can remember!
The music I listen to mostly is Christian. The songs I do listen to, that if considered secular, has to be decent in content.
I also like mountain music.
Plus, I love to sing (took Band & Choir in high school but definitely like Chorus much better) so I can often be seen belting one out in the car as I drive along; I used to want to be a Musician (singer) since I was a kid but my voice is not up to something like that.
BOOKS
I read a variety of books consisting of The Holy Bible, religious, autobiography/biography, fiction, factual/informative, cookbooks, 'Country'/'Country Woman'/'Charisma'/'Charisma Israel'/'Voice Of The Martyrs' magazines & related mags/reading materials, 'The Jerusalem Post' etc. and many more. I've read many books but three, in particular, that I've enjoyed reading are entitled 'Jesus Wept' by Bruce Marchiano, 'My Dream Of Heaven' by Rebecca Springer, & 'Heaven: Close Encounters Of The God Kind' by Jesse Duplantis. I did read another about a woman who experienced Heaven though I don't remember the title/author but a very good book though (I'll post it when I find out). When my Father died, I tried to get every book I could get my hands on about Heaven & those who've experienced it via near death experiences, etc. I've also enjoyed reading the James Harriot series & the 'Little House On The Prairie' series is nice also. I especially like reading 'series' books sets. Although, I've most enjoyed books that I've bought at my local Christian book store, Sheperd's Fold, where they have some great reading materials such as the aforementioned,etc. Plus, I highly recommend Paul Bonyan's 'Pilgrim's Progress' & 'Adams' Syn Chronological Map Of World History' books; very good reading!
It just depends on the material but, once again, has to be decent reading. I used to want to be an Author years ago (since grade school) but my writing is terrible. My two passions, writing & singing, and I can do neither well in my opinion. I have had people say I should sing, but after seeing 'American Idol' auditions where people thought they could sing after being told the same thing, I'm not so sure.
My favorite persons, along with Yeshua of course, in the Bible are Elijah, Moses, Esther (Hadassah) & John though I do admire all the Godly men/women of the Word.
Oh, I pray to have a heart for God like John Hooper (a must-read of him in 'Fox's Book of Martyrs')!
Things I admire in people are: bravery, generosity, honesty, integrity, good sense of humor & a willing heart to give/help voluntarily with joy unbegrudgingly (did I spell that right?)..
My favorites are: word - 'hope' because it is such a miraculous thing to have when one feels hopeless (like love, hope makes the heart soar); colors - blue, yellow, & pink though I also fancy certain shades of green; flowers - white rose and African violet; gemstones - emerald and golden topaz; seasons -Autumn & early Spring; and birds - Cardinal, Dove, & Brown Thrush.
Plus, I love animals but if I ever leave this world, I want especially to leave a legacy of helping people too.
Also, I like the JTF, girly things such as bath/parfume sets/makeup & the like, pearls, candles/candlelight, the smell of Gardenias/Jasmine/ Lilacs, chivalry , the sound of the train as it passes thru town, the sounds of early Spring, nocturnal animal sounds, starry nights, full moons, northern lights, astronomy (not astrology)/interesting satellite images/mystery of the 'black holes', the study of icebergs,Pro-Life organizations, feeding programs for the poor/unfortunate here & abroad, organizations that help find lost/missing persons, country decor, campfires, jigsaw puzzles, memory games, word searches, board games to include Checkers, the topics of the end times/rapture, black/pink marble, slate, tin roofs, soapstone gas stoves/kitchen countertops, trucks, Hummers, Christian websites/paintings etc., houseware items such as dishes etc., fruit/nut trees, potpourri, chenille/silk fabrics, the beautiful state of Tennessee, Helen Georgia, Williamsburg Virginia, Ozarks, history/historical buildings/places, the medieval/colonial/civil war eras, info on/artifacts etc. from the Titanic, coupons/the word "free", the Lord, my family, my pets, Siamese Fighting Fish (Betas), & I am suuuch a country girl who also loves the quiet life of a small town. Oh, there's much too much more to list here.
I wanted to enter the Peace Corps here a while back but was unable to due to financial reasons. I think it would have been a most humbling experience to witness/live what others live in certain parts of the world because some countries are so blessed to have what others cannot or do not have & is so often taken for granted; although, when God blesses, one must be willing to receive, so perhaps that is what we are doing more so than taking for granted, I cannot say for sure. I can say with certainty, however, that all blessed countries should give great thanks to God for every blessing given without thinking one is owed the blessing but rather is a gift from the Lord.
Basically, I like all that is good in this world via God's devine oversee. More importantly though, I love the Lord & His wonderful creation/nature!
Visit The Holy Land Experience in Orlando, Florida if possible; though I've not been there as yet, I think it looks to be a very good spot to vacation or to just spend a day or two there as it appears to be the next best thing to actually being in the Holy Land.
I think this is also true because we take things, like even sunshine for instance, for granted until something happens in our lives that makes us see the small/big things we never gave as much thought to as we should before & suddenly realize just how important they are to us.
There are some things in life you can never have too much of: God, blessings, prayer, family, love, respect, health, wisdom, money, class, recipes, perfume, etc. to name just a few.
You cannot change your past but your past can change your future; good decisions reap great rewards & bad choices reap deep regret.
I dislike abuse of any kind such as child/youth abuse in any form to also include abortion etc. (countries who want to or have legalized abortion are doing no different than the Amalekites of biblical time), nursing home/group home/seniors abuse, homeless persons abuse, disabled/challenged persons abuse, the helpless & widows abuse, domestic abuse (by either party), animal abuse to also include the fur industry/whaling/inhumane animal testing/fighting/use for entertainment purposes, eating of live marine animals/etc., the diamond industry (see why under 'I Like'), drug/alcohol abuse to include driving under the influence etc., crime, judice/racism/antisemitism, adultery, cults, perversion, greed, filth, mean-spiritedness, arrogance, bragging, lying/deceit, thievery, eating disorders, religious spirits, laziness, vegetarianism/veganism (God's plan was for us to eat meat as well as other foods; to not eat meat, particularly red meat,is unhealthy), poverty (I would help all those I can financially who need it when God blesses me with wealth one day), those who look down on those impoverished, liberalism, witchcraft/Satanism/mysticism (all Satanically-derived).
Basically, I dislike anything that is destructive instead of constructive to mankind/animals.
ABOUT ME
This page is dedicated to my Heavenly Father & also in loving memory to my late Earthly Father who was a strong force on this Earth as a selfless Godly man who was taken from this world all too early. He is & always will be dearly missed; Norman A. Roark, 1929 - 2004
May your light shine on forever . . .
*I'm going to try to upload a photo of my Dad here just as soon as I can get my printer going (have to call tech support). Now I've got to buy new cartridges (sighs) so it's going to be a little while yet. I do hope to be able to post it as I want each visitor to my page to see him.
I also dedicate this page to all persecuted Jews/Christians around the world.
It is my hope that this page not only serves as a dedication to my Heavenly/Earthy Fathers but also as a witness to those who visit it.
I go by either just my first name, middle name, or by "Quith Anne" which I prefer (pronounced Keith Ann) as a nickname; depending on who is talking to me & what they call me by.
I'm Messianic Jewish/Christian (I do believe in the trinity) which is what Messianic means; we believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah, we believe in the trinity. I am of different decents and also both my mother's parents' maternal sides of their family are/were of Jewish decent as well. I notice that sometimes people don't think of Messianic Jews as Christians but I consider myself both. Sad to say, I also notice that there are those who call themselves Christian but want nothing to do with Jewish people. I'm proudly both Messianic Jew/Christian. I encourage all to study-up on Messianic Judiasm to find out what we believe as many people do not know. Unfortunately, anti-semitism is at an all time high again since the days of Hitler & is on the rise so please pray for Jews everywhere; thank you & God bless!
. . . and I've even been known to attend full-gospel, five-fold-ministry churches as well as attended Shabbat.
Please pray for all persecuted Christians/Jewish brothers and sisters around the world; thank you & God bless!
I think it would be nice to meet God/Yeshua & my late father again (in Heaven), Mincaye (from the true story 'End Of The Spear', a very inspiring man), Michael English (also a truly inspiring man), Israel Houghton (another great inspiring man), Bruce Marchiano, Kim Clement, Dottie Rambo, George Bloomer, Kenneth Copeland, Perry Stone, Benny Hinn, Oral Roberts, President Bush, Dr. Ben Carson, and Matthew Roloff. *My Father was a big fan of Betty Jean Robinson ('Up On Melody Mountain') & some of my family/myself met her at Wal-Mart in Berea, Kentucky while on the way back from Indiana in September, 2003; how I wish my Dad could have been there to see her as he really enjoyed her singing/television show! She prayed over my grandson that he would preach the word. She's a very sweet person :)
My heroes are God, *my late Father (Mr. Norman A. Roark), & my grandson.
I grew-up in midwest farmland country where the farms & the coal mines were a plenty. You had to be careful driving down the two-lane highways because those coal trucks could move pretty fast!
I'm here for networking & friends.
I am a straight female.
I was born in Watseka, Illinois & raised in Vincennes, Indiana.
My height is 5' 4".
I have grass-green eyes & long very dark brown hair, well okay, with some grey (hee, hee).
I am a proud parent/grandparent.
I'm a college honor graduate in medical & business.
