| Introduction | I am a sinner saved by grace whose greatest goals/dreams in life are serving and one day meeting my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, growing to be more like Him as a man, husband and father, seeing my children grow up to follow Him, being a blessing to others, and leaving a legacy of good books that I've written, both non-fiction and fiction. I hope this blog site can be part of that legacy too, as I write about spiritual issues here. |
