| Introduction | Today, I am a Minister of the Gospel; however, that was not always the case. As a younger man, I found out that I was good at getting in trouble, and for a while, I thought that was fun... until... There's always that moment, especially when you live the life I was living at one time, when you realize that there is a choice to make, one direction leads towards the light, while the other, darkness. Fear consumed me, fear of an early death, or a life without meaning; however, life through a curve ball, and I knew that this was that moment, would I choose the darkness, or would I rest in the cool rays of the morning light. Believe it or not, that can be a tougher decision than one might imagine; however, purely by God's Grace, I walked into the light, and my life has never been the same... The overly Sufficient Grace of God, the Prayers of a Crying mother, the Word of a loving father, combined with the respect, and stern encouragement from a friend that stuck closer than a brother... And, here I am today! God is Faithful... Trust me. taste and see, the Lord is Good.... |
| Interests | Teaching and Preaching the Gospel, Serving God's People, and in my spare time, I love Cars, Classic Chevy's, and BMW's... |
| Favorite movies | The Passion of the Christ, although I have never finished watching it... Something about knowing that He was beaten and abused in my stead, just hits a little too deeply... But one day, I will finish that movie, I have too... |
| Favorite music | I love all types of music; though I prefer the Christian, and/or clean versions of what I used to listen to in the past. Believe it or not, there are good Godly people making music in every genre, from rap to rock, and electronic edm, to country and freestyle. |
| Favorite books | It all begins and ends with the Holy Bible for me; however, I did really enjoy Gone with the Wind... |
