I am a believer in God. I am not religious, I’ll leave that to others. I write about many things in this Christian life. When I write I’m not only writing to any of you who read what I write, I’m also writing to myself. I don’t have the Christian walk down pat by a long shot as those who know me would tell you! I simply enjoy writing about God and our walk with Him, and hope that what I write will bless someone. This ability to write is a talent given me by God, this would not be here otherwise! I love music, especially Third Day! I love to read and am married.
