: About Me

Most of my adult life I have been a householder, somewhat of an artist, and a wannabe writer.

I spend most of my positive energies of noble intent in the pursuit of insights into the spiritual life, hoping to equip myself as a servant of the Lord - after wasting so much precious time and energy in worthless, godless pursuits.

With an inclination toward simplicity, silence, and solitude, I have been drawn to pursue an eremite existence; my home is my hermitage and retreat.

I am now in my fifty-eighth year, and while I regard myself as a solitary religious "in Christ," I know I have hardly turned the first page in the knowledge of Him, let alone entered Class 101 in Christ-likeness.

I do know, however, that a pure life, humble and holy, is the only one worth having, and it is to be had only in His Spirit.

I pray that when it pleases God, He will at the right time "reveal His Son in me."
