Jalal Hoehler
Name: Jalal Hoehler (pronounced Juh-lal)
Family: Married to my best friend, Brian Hoehler. We have three children, Heather 20, Steven 18 and Jordan 14. I am continually shocked that we have adult children.
High School: I was raised in Louisville, Ky and attended Iroquois High and then Southern High School.
College : I attended 1 year at Cincinnati State . I would love to go back and get a degree in the Art field after we pay off our children’s educations
How long have you been at New Hope? I have been attending New Hope for the past 9 years. Less the year we lived in Alaska.
Interests and Favorites:
Vacation Spot: Anywhere that I am not responsible for washing the sheets and towels. I really enjoy being snowed in a cabin so I would have to say Hocking Hills in the Winter.
Restaurant: Thai….or Mexican…or Italian…..okay Chipotle. Definitely Chipotle.
Passion: I am passionate about people building real relationships with others. We need each other and it really sucks to have to wear a mask & be fake in order to be loved.
Food: Whatever is in front of me. But I usually want it to be Chipotle.
Books: ALL. I will read ANYTHING. Except cheesy romance novels and mathematical text books.
Sports: Does thumb wrestling count?
Movies: I like to watch movies but I forget them as soon as I see them. I think I liked “The Notebook” Oh... and the mom in “Terms of Endearment” cracks me up.
Hobbies: Reading, Sewing, Card making, Jewelry Making, Decorating, Scrapbooking, Blogging, Art, Dreaming about gardening and apparently Laundry & sock matching since I spend such a large part of my time doing them.
Favorite thing about the Westside: Your kids can’t keep secrets from you because EVERYONE knows everyone else….and you WILL hear about what they did eventually.
Scripture: We also rejoice in our sufferings, because We know that suffering produces endurance; endurance, character, and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has been poured out into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given to us. (Rom 5:4-5)
