Before I tell about myself, I would like to share something. It is something I want to share because I see so many people out there who think they are not good enough for God. Well, you are...He has a tremendous love for you that surpasses all understanding. God will meet you where you are:
Do you ever feel like you're not good enough for God..that could never love you...that you've done too many bad things in your life, that He could never accept you. He loves you...no matter who you are, no matter what you've done, no matter where you've been. He died for you, and longs for you to accept Him into your heart. He died for you on the cross as though you were the only person on earth, defeated sin and death, and rose again to give you eternal life through Him. All you do is say to Him, Jesus, I want you in my life. Forgive me for what I've done that is a sin against you. I accept you into my heart as my personal Savior. It's that simple. John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Romans 10:9 says, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." He loves you. He is waiting for you. He will meet you where you are.
Ok, now I'll share a little about myself. I love the Lord Jesus Christ with all of my heart, soul and mind. He died a cruel death on the cross, defeated sin and death, and rose again that I might live. He is always there. He is there during the good times and the rough times. He is consistent. He never changes.
At this point in my life, I have gained new insight into what life is all about - God, family, friends, helping others, and good times with family and friends. I devote this webpage to my Lord, and hope it can be used by Him. I'm looking forward to my time on this site.
In addition, I am beginning a new phase of my life as God moves me into writing fiction. I have written some fiction, but I have not yet attempted to get anything published. I am currently a technical writer, and have done some free lance, but that is, of course, much different. I want to allow my Lord to use me to write fiction that inspires people to look to what is most important in life. It has become clearer to me than ever...God has been doing a number on my heart lately. I've written here and there, but it has hit home more than ever in recent weeks. The floodgates have opened. Below, is a poem I wrote when I was 18. I want to share it with you. I wrote it as I started my life's journey from high school into college and beyond...and I'm sort of doing it again as I start over in a new life's calling.
Shadows of time
Cast out of the dawn
Into the light of memories
Dreams we look behind
Flying high upon days unknown
For yesterday is for all eternity
by Eric L.
Here is another poem. I wrote this one in my early twenties - although saved by His grace at the age of 11, God brought me to this point to help me realize that He had a change in direction for me. Yes, I'm sharing my poetry here a little bit. :) I have only shared this poem with a handful of people over the years. By the way, I never wrote the last verse to this poem only recently...and then I revised it a short time later. The poem is now complete.
I glimpse of an echo
In the shadows of my soul
Searching for all meaning
In a moment my heart unfolds
I long for the truth
In the twilight of a dream
Running hard, breathing endless
Going nowhere so it seems
The years are reflecting
And the days are old
My spirit yields a yearning
For God's truth to be told
by Eric L.
Family is very important to me. Friends are as well. I can be counted on by my friends. Good times with family and friends will live on for eternity.
I am currently looking for a new church home. Please keep my in prayer on this matter.
I'm also working on getting back into the kind of shape I was in when I was in my early thirties before I got a pinched nerve in my back. The nerve has long since healed, but I've not been in that kind of shape since then.
More about me - I'm a bit of a paradox, and rather complex :) I'm easy going, yet intense. I like to joke, and I love life.
