The father of three daughters and the blessed grandfather of eight grandchildren, my life has gone from self-destruction and death to victory and glory. The broken-ness and pain of my past has been healed with the Divine touch of love, mercy and grace. -I was once dedicated to God before birth to be led by Divine intervention. -I was once born on earth and allowed to follow the dictate of my conscious. -I was once "born-again" and redeemed by the "blood of the Lamb." -I have "missed the mark" many times but always found myself at the feet of Jesus. -"I am not today what I will be tomorrow, but I am more today than I was yesterday." Having been ordained to share the "good news" of the gospel, I found myself homeless and alone. Having lost the public expression of my "heart's song, I picked up the pen to share the sights and wonders of the daily path of everlasting love and the hope of eternal glory. My life is a road map crisscrossed by the tears, broken-ness and woundedness of those that have fallen or lost their way. I find Divine assurance not by the applause of human-kind but in those sojourners that have accepted the promise of life everlasting. If by Divine appointment our paths should cross, know that we have come far and been given this moment to "sit-a-spell" and find peace and joy in the victories of our trials and tribulations and blessed to know...the One that loved us first, loves us the most.
