> I was a teenager when I first felt a calling to use my God given gifts to serve God. The first song I wrote about my faith was “Dear Heavenly Father“ in 1983. I was not ready for the challenge of recording music and continued to learn from life itself. I would capture riffs and chord structures through the years but it was not until 2006 that I rolled up my sleeves and worked to make a complete CD recording. The vision was to share my life stories so I named the project “Life”. Apparently I still had not learned enough from life so the project fell on the back burners.
> I continued to make mistakes and in 2010 I ended up divorced. I began seeking my best friend to live life with. In 2012, I found my sweet Linda Love. Linda and I lived parallel lives with dysfunctional marriages and both wanted a drama free existence. We achieved it for more than five years without a single disagreement. My mother always told me, one day we would have a disagreement but it was not until a year after her death that my mother’s words came to be true.
> Our kids were a problem with on going drama - especially mine. It finally came to a head when my mother died in 2018 and my kids hurt both Linda and I so much, we walked away from my family including my sisters and my kids - every one, except my dad, my baby boy, and one of my daughters. A year later, in 2019, my Linda Love hurt me with true words about my kids as a result of my hard words about one of her kids. We finally had our first disagreement or fight.
> The year 2020 was tough with a lot of drama involving my baby boy who was 22 at the time. My baby boy was in communication with his older siblings who responded in a way fulfilling biblical prophecy about children rising up against their parents. (If you research “rise up against parents” you will find many biblical prophecies about it including several places stating having their “parents put to death”, which could very well happen as what they have done to me has not yet concluded as of the writing of this web page.) But the good news is, it lit a fire in me to get busy. So not only did I complete many started projects for “Life”, the CD recording, but I read the entire Bible in the year 2021. And I learned a lot. The stories of Job, Apostle John, Apostle Paul and John the Baptist were necessary lessons for me to deal with what is happening to me.
> Job was a wealthy man with a large family and extensive flocks. Extremely Blessed. He was “blameless” and “upright,” always careful to avoid doing evil. One day Satan appears before God in heaven. God boasts to Satan about Job's goodness, but Satan argues that Job is only good because God has blessed him abundantly. Satan challenges God that, if given permission to punish the man, Job will turn and curse God. God allows Satan to torment Job to test this bold claim, but he forbids Satan to take Job’s life in the process. Job never turned on God under incredible stress and pain and losing everything. Job cursed his conception and his birth but never God. In the end, God made things right.
> Apostle John was boiled in oil but unharmed. He wrote the book of Revelations from a secluded island.
> Apostle Paul was in prison when he wrote many of the books in the Bible. And while he was imprisoned and an earthquake opened the prison doors, he saved a frightened guard and his family by talking, and teaching about Jesus.
> And John the Baptist was beheaded in Prison.
> God has always been in control and wants all to come to repentance. The CD recording called “Life” is my desire to share the Good News. My story has not been concluded yet but this I can tell you, I am proud to be in God’s army in these hard prophesied times and I will endure to the end because the Lord is my Shepherd, my Refuge and my Fortress.
I Choose God! I choose right over wrong. Light over dark. Life over death.
