God adopted me into his family when I was in the fifth grade. I had started getting concerned about what would happen to me if I died and knew I needed to do something about it. Our pastor came by to visit one afternoon and explained God’s grace and mercy toward sinners and asked me if I would like to appropriate them for myself. That afternoon, in our living room, I asked Jesus to save me and he did. Ever since that day, even though there have been some dark valleys and rough patches along the way, he has held me and never let me go. I praise him every day for saving and keeping me through his infinite, unconditional love.
That’s one reason I write this blog. I want other people to experience that love and grace and mercy for themselves and once they have, to develop an ever deeper relationship with their Lord and Savior.
I have been teaching the Bible in various capacities for almost 25 years and get my greatest enjoyment from studying God’s word and sharing with others what the Lord has shown me. The more I study the Holy Scriptures, the more I become convinced that God’s way is the best way and if we will learn his way and follow it, life will be a lot better for us.
That’s the other reason why I write this blog. I want to help people find true fulfillment in their lives by guiding them to discover and apply God’s way for themselves.
