| Introduction | I served in the Military Police Corps in the Army. I mostly worked law enforcement, but I was also attached to the Personal Security Detachment, PSD. We provided security for high-ranking officers. At one point, our team also provided residential security for the CIA Station Chief in Frankfurt, Germany. I mostly worked uniform, but I have also worked undercover. Among other things, my Military Occupational Specialty and training included crime scene investigation, counterterrorism, bomb threats, and hostage situations. I have also been a victims' advocate with the police. I have a varied resume and have traveled extensively. Despite my varied resume, all I've ever wanted to be is a writer. I used to write secular novels, two of which were published by a well-known publisher. I was given a chance to take my writing to the next level by Harlequin. However, I was writing secular novels and wanted to stop. The editor wanted to work with me but requested I change a character and model him after Christian Grey. I gave up fiction writing then, perhaps permanently. God keeps weeding things out of my life, and stories that don't honor Him are one of those things. |
| Interests | I am an orthodox Evangelical Christian. I am flawed. I get things wrong and correct them. I have said things and done things I regret. If God waited until He found someone perfect to share the Gospel, it would never get shared. So, I'm not perfect. However, it's not about me. It's about Jesus. He's perfect. It's about what Jesus did for sinners like you and me. Even though I am Evangelical, I part ways with orthodoxy in a few significant ways. As a Christian, I despise the teaching of eternal conscious torment in hell. You will never hear the threat of hell from me since I don't believe it is in the Bible in the original languages. Annihilation is. My book "Gehenna Revisited" covers this. |
| Favorite Movies | I never doubt God's Word. It tells us who He is and what He is doing in History. It tells us who we are and how we fit into that plan. There is only one way to God and it is through His Son. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one goes to the Father except through Him. There is eternal life and forgiveness for all who repent and trust Jesus as their Savior. We are told to choose this day whom we will serve. Unlike Calvinists, I do believe we have a choice. It is my prayer, that you will choose to serve the Lord. |
| Favorite Music | The Bible teaches we are separated from God by sin, and sin must be dealt with. Unfortunately, the wage for sin is death, and the Bible says all have sinned. In the Old Testament, the blood of animals paid the wage. (Leviticus 17:11 says "life is in the blood".) In the New Testament, God's Son, the second Person of the Trinity, shed His own blood to pay the penalty for sin. He died to pay mankind's wage for sin and give us the Life that was in His Blood. There is only One God, but He exists in three separate, co-equal and eternal Beings. |
| Favorite Books | The Bible teaches that to live with God forever we must be holy, but the Bible also teaches that we do not have a righteousness of our own apart from God. Jesus took our sins and gave us His righteousness. That is why there is no other way back to the Father except through the Son. Only Jesus is God. Only He paid the wage for sin, which is death. Only He took our sins and gave us His righteousness. Only He died in our place and rose again so that we could rise again too and have everlasting life with Him. No one else did those things for you. If you have never accepted His offer of Life and Forgiveness, I hope you will accept it today. Here is The Sinner's Prayer: "Father, I know I am a sinner and my sins have separated me from you. I want to turn away from my sins and turn toward you. Please forgive me and fill me with your Holy Spirit and create a new person in me. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ, died for my sins. I believe He was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life. I pray your Holy Spirit gives me the desire and the power to do your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I trust and pray, Amen." |
