About Me

My purpose for being is to serve Jesus Christ. I want to be in full time ministry helping people to learn about and come to know Jesus. I read constantly in order to increase my understanding of the natural and spiritual world I live in so that I can better communicate truth to those around me.

The God of the universe wants to have a relationship with you. He has a purpose for your life, should you choose to accept. He is a gentleman and can never over power your will. But He gently nudges you with his Spirit. The works of His hands are a magnificent testimony of his splendor. Consider the power of the ocean, lightening, thunder. . . The beauty of a sunset, sunrise, rainbow, waterfall etc. All of this is a picture, a shadow of the goodness of God.

Check out my blogs for more about what this world is really all about. Please comment. I love feedback. Feel free to be challenging of anything I write.

Heavens Glasses

How often do we examine how we look at the world? Os Guinness aptly puts it this way, "we think with our worldview, but not about it." We must examine how we look at the world and not just go on looki...

The Gravity of Reality

Truth is what is despite one's belief or acceptance of its validity. To illustrate this point, let us look at the law of gravity. Everything on earth is subject to the law of gravity. If I take a ball...
