Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! You wrote the following text on our computing reference desk:

 Frank Lee Goldsmith was born August 21, 1965 to Charles and Irma Goldsmith in Nansmond County, Virginia. He was the second child of four. He grew up in Southeast Virginia and raised a Baptist. Upon graduating from Suffolk High School in 1983, he attended Baylor University in Waco, Texas. Frank majored in Theology, married Ann Goldsmith in 1986, graduated with a Bachelor's in 1987 and moved to Ft Worth, where he checked out Southwest Baptist Seminary. In 1988 he and his wife moved back to Waco where he started the Philosophy Graduate Program at Baylor University. During his graduate studies he worked at Toys R Us, Bentwood Farms and Baylor Landing. In 1989, Frank and Ann's first child was born two and a half months premature on May 20. This untimely interruption prevented Frank from completing his thesis and graduating with his Master's Degree. Frank continued to work at Baylor Landing while his son grew strong. On December 26, 1990 Frank and Ann's second child was born. By this time, the apartments were owned by the Resolution Trust Corp and Frank diligently looked for new employment.

May 1991, Frank moved his young family north of Austin, taking a job in Austin with DRA. Frank and Ann became involved members of Crestview Baptist Church of Georgetown. In 1992 Frank took a job with a start up company, moving his family to Georgetown. The fledgling company did not survive and left Frank in financial ruin. In 1994 he then moved his family to Burnet County, where the cost of living was much less. Ann was pregnant with their third child, who was born that following September. At this time, he began working in the high tech field, taking several contracts. He also became the associate minister of First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) of Bertram.

In 1996, he was hired on at Power Computing and became C.O.O. In 1997, Ann became pregnant with their fourth child and in 1998 they moved to Marble Falls. While on a business trip to Seattle, Ann gave birth to their daughter prematurily and she died a month later. Prior to their move, Power Computing lost its license to sell Apple Computers and closed. Frank went to work for C.D.S. and then November of 1998 moved onto Works.com. He continued to work there until November 2000 and then worked for three months for Keller Williams Realty. Next, he worked for FreeMarkets until May 2001, when they closed down his branch. At this point, Ann was pregnant with their fifth child. Frank stayed home that summer to assist with the pregnancy and children at home.

Their fifth child was born September 12, 2001; a month early, but healthy. Due to the Terrorist Attack and subsequent economy, there was no work available in the high tech field. Frank worked as an Interim Minister at area churches. In 2003, he became the Senior Minister of Koenig Lane Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Austin and remains so to this day.

During he tenure at KLCC, Frank has served on the board of Texas Choral Consortium, Texas Bible Chair, TDR (serving Katrina and Rita), Kid's Hope USA, among other industrious undertakings. The first few years, KLCC flourished under his leadership. The affect of Katrina and Rita left an impact on Frank and the church and many things have changed since: the church has dwindled, following the abolishment of a family in his church; and in that same manner he has abolished his wife.

Frank is still at KLCC as Senior Minister. 

I've removed the text from the reference desk, since that's not the right place for writing an article. You could put it at Frank Lee Goldsmith instead, but you really should first familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's notability, verifiability and biographies of living people policies, and make sure you cite a reliable source for each claim. Also, since your username suggests that you may be the subject of the article, you should also review our conflict of interest guidelines. I know it seems like a lot of reading to do just to write a simple article, but Wikipedia tends to be rather strict when it comes to accepting biographical articles, and if you don't follow the policies and at least make some verifiable claim of notability, your article is likely to get deleted. If you'd like a slightly more gentle introduction to editing Wikipedia, may I suggest starting with our help pages. Oh, and if you have any questions, you're welcome to ask me on my talk page. Have a nice day! —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 02:12, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
