Continuously Seeking The Spirit's Blessings! Thank You for what You've already given!

About Me

I'm just a regular guy with some good qualities. I respect people who have goals in their lives and who look to better themselves...wether it be in small ways or big ways, just considering who you and seeking to improve whatever needs to be improved.I'm a blessed father of two beautiful angels. They're my life, and they're everything to me. Of all the things I have been charged with in this life, being a daddy is the most important.I'm an ordained minister and attempting to begin my own ministry. It started in Febuary 2008, but it's slow to get off the ground. But, when the Lord decides it's time, it will move! It's called "The Gospel-On The Corner Ministries".I'm a patriotic person and am proud to say I'm a veteran of the U.S. Army. I didn't do much in time in, only trained and prepared, never went overseas. To all of those who serve in any capacity...thank you!

My Interests

I work 3 jobs right now, so between work, my ministry efforts and my kids I don't have much time for anything else. But...I will make time to meet new people, make new friends and develop areas of my life that I want to grow. I like to take short road trips, long ones are to expensive now! Walks, hikes, trips to the park, disc golf, bowling, hunting, fishing, writing, playing music, listening to music, and just BBQ'n with friends are some of the ways I like to spend my free time.

I'd like to meet:

Pretty much anybody! Most of all I want to meet my Jesus! He lives in me, but I want to shake His hand, give Him a hug, and kneel at His feet.

Music:

Christian, country, southern gospel, classic rock, certain metal, ambience music, and the blues...gotta have the blues! :)

Movies:

Everything but stupid crap that glorifies drug use. The comedies like america pie and stuff...you can keep em...don't care to waste my time watching garbage.

Television:

CSI, Law and Order, Nature, Scooby Doo, etc., etc., etc.

Books:

Anything that inspires me or puts goosebumps on my arms :) I love the Bible, so much to learn from such a powerful book!

Heroes:

Christ, my dad, members of the armed forces, EMS, etc. Kids with cancer who push through the pain, people with disabilities who don't let that stop them, those who are challenged but don't let anybody tell them they can't do something! Old people who've stayed married for 50 years, couples who fight temptation and urges to respect the union of their marriage, kids who say no to drugs and yes to a future, athletes who compete for the spirit of the game and not for the money or the fame.

My Blog

The impardonable sin...Do you know what it is?

I'm just a man, not a preacher, not a teacher...but I think God has given me a pretty good view on this.  Considering the fact that someone very special to me was a born again Christian...
