What's your best day? What do you imagine for your best day? Winning the lottery? Buying your first home? Overcoming a fatal illness? Triumphing through horrible circumstances? I'll tell you mine but first let me tell you what wasn't my best day. It wasn't the day I got married. It wasn't the birth of my one and only child. It wasn't even the day I was set free from the gay lifestyle. It was, and forever will be, the day I met the creator - God. Yes, the one who created you and me and everything around us. "For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him." Colossians 1:16

He has touched my heart, mind, soul and deepest inward parts. He has changed everything about me from how I think to what I say and how I relate to the world around me. He has given me His Holy Spirit to dwell in me so that I can become more like Him and less like me. The more I yield to the Holy Spirit, the more my body, emotions, thoughts and heart are transformed in the likeness of Him.
"Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's."
1 Corinthians 6:19-20.


He is what our human soul cries out for and needs more than anything else that this world offers you. Money, sex, power, knowledge, prestige....they may entertain you for a while but they will not meet your deepest needs. Only He can do that. He can change your life just like He changed mine. Really............He can if you would just believe.
"....I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." Matthew 17:20

I am delighted you have come to my website. It is written from the perspective of a changed man. What I was no longer exists. He has changed me from the inside out and I am eternally grateful.
