Date men from United States / California / Glendora, 47 year old

Date a soulmate from California, United States. Hi Ladies,
First off, if you are "currently separated" I am not interested. Currently Separated means you are still married and I do not get involved with married women.
I think this is probably the most difficult part of this entire process. I find it rather difficult to describe myself but I will give it a try. I think my friends would say that I am honest, loyal, hard working, practical, intelligent and opinionated (although I have mellowed dramatically over the years). I have never been married. Although I would really like to share my life with somone I am content to remain single if that how it works out. I was an athlete in college (tennis) and have remained active my entire life. I mostly train at the gym. I enjoy BBQ'g, good food, wine tasting. My friend's and their families are important to me. I take great pleasure in the fact that their children think of me as their uncle. I am a frank person that is not into games. I really do not feel the need to attempt to impress people. I am who I am. I like people and do what I can to help those in need.
The most important part of my life is my faith. I attend a conservative Baptist Church but I think it is important to note that my faith goes well beyond the church I attend. This is just a place where I can worship my Lord within a community and serve the family of God. Having a relationship with Jesus Christ and serving Him is what life is all about. The Bible is clear that those that know and follow Christ should live humbly, act justly, and love mercy. I am attempting to live this in my own life although I fail many times. I am thakful that I have been forgiven.
A little more about my personality and the things I value. I would rather take a nice vacation than drive an expensive car. I would rather eat a good meal at home than eat fast food. I would rather delay gratification and pay cash for something than make payments. I live within a budget so if you are not someone that wants to live that lifestyle we are probably not a good match.
I have been on several short term mission trips. I have been to Philippines (twice) to assist in the building of a medical clinic that my church financed, China for Bible distribution, and Ukraine (twice) - one a buidling trip and another ministry oriented, and in 2011 I went to Uganda where I helped plant two churches outside of Soroti. In one week over 770 people made first time professions to trust in Jesus alone. I am looking forward to my next trip.
To sum it up, I am an average guy that is trying to live life in a way that is pleasing to God knowing full well that there is nothing that I can do to earn God's favor. It is solely by His grace that I can come before Him.
I am seeking a woman that has the same view on life: it's not about us but about Him (Jesus). I would hope that she would be active in her church or some type of ministry. If she has children I am fine with that. I will do my best to treat them as if they were my own and support her and the father in raising their children. I would hope that she would have a love for people and a desire to help them. Fitness is important to me but I am not a freak about it.
I guess that's it for now. Interested?

I enjoy discovering smiles from the youngest to the oldest person I connect with, for you will find me not caring what uptight people may think of me as I make faces at most toddlers whether they are looking over the shoulder of their parent or in the stroller, going for that amazing smile that makes everyone know life is special. I enjoy knowing that life is best lived when I help others patiently survive the battle of life, and discovering the gifts of friendship, open and honest communication, and the warmth of love along the way.
One of my greatest joys is a room full of people, holding their sides due to the deep laughter. I am passionate about living life, and even though I am happy, I am inspired by multiplied joy two can share in those special moments.

Oh yeah, did I mention that I was ridiculously handsome and had the body of an oiled up Greek god, oh wait, this site has my picture on it! damn site!
Note: Integrity is important to me. I have found that some women have not been honest about themselves in their profiles and have
Heard that men lie about everything from their height to their weight to their employment. My profile, like my life, is in
Integrity. Please write me only if your profile is, as well. Thank you in advance for this!
