VenerationOk, I bet you’re wondering what the heck "Veneration" means, huh? It means "Willingness to serve God." Before you think I’m gonna get freaky on ya... don’t. This page is simply a way I could profess my belief as a Christian in a non-pushy manner, since I have had some fans question whether or not to even ask me if I "am".
 Well, Yes. I "am". I should first state that we all fall short of the glory of God, and in my case; I don’t even think I could CLIMB to the point others have fallen! I smoke... I drink... I swear... I’ve just been a "not-so-clean-cut" Christian for many years. THIS is what I’m trying to change. For those of you who know me, you know that I am a "nice guy". You may not know that over the past few years, I have been TRYING to become a better Christian without being pushy about my beliefs. Rather than scare people off like a lot of "Bible-Thumpers" do, I’m trying to let my personality and inner-glow reflect more of the "rock" I am striving to become. (make sense?)... That is why I’m doing this; both to be the bumper-sticker on the rock, and to make no bones about who I am and who I’m trying to become.
 Rock music may seem to be a strange avenue to take when it comes to subtly witnessing to the masses, but anyone who really knows me KNOWS that I am ANYTHING but normal! While I am strengthening my faith, I am also trying to make sure I DON’T perform in a way that might mislead someone who might not be sure of their own beliefs... YET, I am also in a position where you must admit is a "target-rich" environment for witnessing to the masses. I could have chosen to perform only sacred music or Christian Rock, and perform it in Churches and at retreats... but If I understand my faith correctly, it doesn’t call on us to "Go ye into all the Churches and preach the gospel to every member."; I think it calls on me to "Go ye into ALL the WORLD and preach the gospel to every CREATURE."
 ...This will be a very difficult task, as I am trying to heal my own character while I communicate my beliefs to a whole world of wolves in mainstream secular rock music. Pray for me please... I’m really gonna need it.
