The Shadow Proves the Sunshine

About Me

Safe living is a myth in this world. There are only two ways to live as I see it, taking chances in the arms of the one who made you, or taking chances running from those arms. Both are full of all kinds of dangers, but only the first leads you to live with no fear. Life takes on a different perspective when you have already died once.

Music:

King's X is my favorite all time band, even though you've never heard of them or heard them. But I am moved by all kinds of music. Check out my playlist to see a fine sampling of many of my favorite artists.

A man died for me, and for that I am in debt. My life is His.
