About Me

  • About Me: Having been a Christian for 30 some years, and as I attempt to represent Christ better every day, it is my hope that my words would encourage and challenge thought, as well as evidence my convictions. May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my mind be acceptable in His sight. I enjoy reading Ted Dekker, Brennan Manning, Stephen R. Lawhead, Erwin McManus, Mark Batterson & Frank Peretti.
