Roxanne Roberts enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She enjoys being in their presence and laughing. Next to the joy that comes from knowing Christ as her savior, her husband Alan, and their children give her the greatest joy.

Mrs. Roberts credits her interest in teaching to a childhood memory. She remembers a time when a particular subject was very difficult for her. Her teacher took time with her until she gained an understanding. That teacher's patience and Roxanne's excitement that came from finally understanding the material, sparked an interest in teaching.

That excitement and confidence is what she likes to impart to her students. Being able to teach at Cornerstone has given Mrs. Roberts an opportunity to share her love for learning and Christ on a daily basis.

May my prayer be counted as incense before You; the lifting up of my hands as the evening offering. Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips.

- Psalm 141:2-3
