A Quick Introduction
Thank
you
for visiting my website. I hope it is of interest. As time
goes on I will continue to improve on it. Best when viewed with
Netscapes or FireFox.
I was
born
in
Angola, IN. I spend most of my adolescence in
mid-state
Illinois in small farm communities. I graduated from Marseilles High
School, received a BS from Bradley University and an MBA from Georgia
State University. For the most part I have been spared any severe bumps
in life. But I have dealt with many of the same family, work,
relationship and spiritual issues that you have.
After all I have been in prison over two dozen times. But I’ve learned a lot. (see Champions for life)
Step inside and you will learn some of what I have learned. The single biggest lesson I have learned is this, as summarized from Romans, …Suffering develops perseverance, which develops character, which brings hope…. Life is not a summation of things that have happened to me, but it is a reflection of how I have reacted to those events. The event itself does not define who I am, but who I am is demonstrated by the way I react.
My Belief
Ephesians
2:
8-10
For
it is by
grace you have been saved, through faith – and
this is not from yourselves, it is a gift from GOD – not by
works so that no one can boast. For we are GOD’s workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which GOD prepared in advance
for us to do.
