As Sure as There is a Heaven and Hell…

The events unfolded in the spring of 2004. The previous night, I had spent time studying about the concepts of Heaven and Hell.

Wrong Place – Right Time

Here is a personal reflection on Christ's love and compassion. Jesus demonstrated His love and compassion for humanity by sharing love, God, and life itself. He was committed and continues to grant new life, a new heart, and a new spirit upon humanity. A few years back, in 2007, while I was on my USPS … Continue reading Wrong Place – Right Time

In late summer of 2009, at the age of 54 and with my daughter now married, I considered riding a motorcycle again.

I told my wife it … Continue reading God Answered My Desire
