: About Me

Saved at age six on the Thursday night of a week-long revival meeting, I am a Christian, who prays that he represents Jesus well.

Who I am as a Christian is the foundation of everything I do, say, think as well as who I am.

The fact that I am terribly imperfect, and fail to live up to my beliefs as often as I do, makes me more grateful for Jesus every day.  (If anybody needs the Savior, I do.)

Jesus has "pulled me through the ringer" time and time again to purify me and to show me that only when I am convinced that I am unworthy to serve Him...am I worthy to serve Him!

As someone, who considers Dr. Temple Grandin to be the most articulate, the most eloquent, and one of the most amazing women in all of history, I am starting to believe that I am a little like her in the processing of life.  (After all, how else could she make perfect sense to me, while the messages of significant females in my life consistently become garbled in the emotions with which the messages are presented?)

My passion is ...

Being Christian, who believes Absolute Truth! (John 14:6)

I know too much about ...

sin in world history. I want to learn more of Jesus, The Only Christ. :)

My parents always told me ...

"Stand for something...or...You'll fall for anything!"

My childhood ambition ...

To be a teacher and a preacher, the occupations of both my parents...

My favorite memory ...

The Thursday evening in 1967 when I was Saved, becoming a Christian!

Why I write ...

I believe many things worth knowing. Since I cannot tell everyone at once, I write.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

The Bible, Hinds Feet on High Places, the Chronicles of Narnia, and The Lord of The Rings (Trilogy.)

My first job ...

Clerk at Dasinger's Drug Store (local) in Chipley, Florida, when I was a high school freshman.

My best moment ...

Other than meeting Jesus, My best moment was when my girlfriend, Angela, consented to be my wife!

My inspiration ...

Jesus, my LORD & my Savior, the One I will serve throughout all Eternity!

To wonder about who I am, would take more thoughts than life, Accepting Word of One, Whose Plan, gives peace instead of strife, Saves brain cells of an aging man, heals heart with hope applied. Am I the boy who stole five cents, from Daddy's dresser top? Am I the boy who lacked the sense, and kissed the girl 'fore stopped, A first-grade sugar "accident," that teacher's jaw did drop? 'Tis true!  I did those very things, A real live boy was I, But those are seen, like yearly rings, in trees, when growth applies, Those natural things of first verse sings, which now I am belies.
