To survive you must believe

About Me

Jewish, raised Baptist, spiritually travelling through Islam. My ambitions are to read every scripture of humanity; to travel to the far ends of the earth; to make love to a woman who stirs my soul; to make myself as multicultural as possible; and most of all, to have faith in the unseen, endure with fortitude, to not fail as a private person, and to challenge my mentality.

"God sends forth the winds which set the clouds in motion. We drive them on to some dead land and give fresh life to the earth after it has died. Such is the Resurrection." -Koran 35:9

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect." -Epistle of Paul to the Romans 12:2
