Graphic artist working at a daily newspaper. Found the Lord in Feb. 1977. In Sept. 1978, through a heart-breaking loss, I found a major gain by searching for Him in my pain. Instead of the usual temporary "cure", He became alive to me for the first time, and I've never been the same since. I then poured myself into Him, staying as close as I could. In 1980, He blessed me with a wonderful wife. Three children followed after a few years of marriage, and with them came a deeper understanding of how my heavenly father cares for me. I've read the bible so many times I've lost count, however, I'm still barely a beginner when it comes to knowing Him and His word.
