Paul Peterson

I’ve enjoyed living here in Atlanta for quite some time now, after growing up in Minnesota and moving here after college. My first marriage blessed me with five wonderful children and an opportunity to mature from many life lessons. After a divorce and eight years of being single again, I remarried in the Spring of 2014 to a wonderful woman who is originally from Brazil and mother to a teenage daughter and son.

I strive for balance in my life, focusing on being equally strong in at least five ways:

1. Physically - I've been a runner all my life, but switched more to inline skating, for my exercise, around the year 2000. I log around 60 miles a week during the warmer months.

2. Intellectually - I stay read-up on current issues and technology. Also, my IT job keeps me on my analytical toes.

3. Creatively - For many years I dabbled with 3D computer animation projects: http://www.youtube.com/user/FullQuiverProd. But in 2016 I turned my creative energies more towards photography.

4. Relationally - Even though I'm a task-oriented introvert (melancholic temperament), over the years, my growing knowledge of God has caused me to prioritize relationships, because people are what's most important to Him.

5. Spiritually - I have heard it said, "Following Jesus will make your life better and make you better at life". I can firmly testify to that working out as truth, in my own life.

Some miscellaneous stuff about me:

* I am fully engaged at North Point Community Church and love the various environments it has created for those both inside and outside the faith. On-line video feed https://northpoint.org/live

* I thoroughly enjoy my IT job at CDC's Corporate Square campus. In addition to my regular job there, I also coordinate bi-weekly luncheons called "Life Lessons Over Lunch". :

*I'm grateful that I know exactly what my purpose in life is and that I'm successfully accomplishing it, on a regular basis.
