ABOUT ME

I want this blog to be about God, not about me.  I did nothing here.  I only write what I feel Him telling me to write.  I recognize that there will be people who will disagree with me.  They are certainly entitled to that.  But again, I am not doing this for approval or disapproval.  I am not doing it to offend.  I am doing it because it is what I feel my Lord leading me to do.

Having said that, if I do offend you in any way, please accept my sincerest apologies.  My intent is never to hurt someone with my words.  

"The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise bring healing." - Proverbs 12:18.

I hope and pray that my words do not pierce, but heal.

My Story

I gave my life to Jesus on April 25, 2001.  Since then, I have had my share of struggles.  I've had financial struggles.  I've staggered on the brink of bankruptcy.  I've had emotional struggles.  I had immense anger issues and ultimately, that cost me my family as my wife and I divorced.  I have also had addiction issues.  It was not until I lost my job due to my addiction that I finally stepped up and begged God to work in me to remove my need to turn to my addiction.  

The great thing about our God is that He stands by our side no matter what we do.  For 9 years, I ignored His very existence.  He loved me anyway.  Then once I gave my life to Him, I continued to live in sin, chained by my addiction.  He loved me anyway.  He has held me up, supported me, cared for me, provided for me, loved me when I deserved it the least.  THAT is what is amazing about His love.  He gives it, no matter how undeserving we are.
