Quote Left Lives are filled with lessons, hardships, heartaches, joys, celebrations, and special moments that lead to some sort of destination, a purpose in life. My journey was not always smooth, it was full of challenges; Some of these challenges were tests of courage, strengths, weaknesses, and what we believe is important in life. Quote Right

Quote Left We have been told to let the light within us shine. God transforms one's soul, each with different gifts and abilities. All we need to do is say here I am Lord. When you live a life based on the light that's within you, it’s impossible for darkness to extinguish that light. If one considers the flashlight that goes dim and needs new batteries to give it new life. Your light shines because your prayers connect you to a power source which is Heavenly. Quote Right

Biography

I was born in Los Angeles and grew up in Culver City, California until my parents moved to Washington State for a season, then Lebanon, Oregon when I was in high school. It's been a long time since.

I'm rather easy going and flexible, well, you might need to ask my wife. I believe that just because I believe in something, it does not make me right and someone else wrong. I am open to changing my mind on certain things based on someone's ability to convince me otherwise. Ha-ha :)

I have a strong belief that the journey of life is important, as the end does not justify the means to achieve an end. I believe in Jesus Christ and his philosophy of compassion, equality, inclusion, forgiveness, tolerance, peace, and most importantly love.

~ Peace
