The Author

I have always enjoyed writing, having started as a teenager writing poems, though at the time I hoped they would have been converted into lyrics for my older brother’s band.

Eventually, I came to find that, without a voice, my lyrics were just poems that nobody would ever hear. In those days, without YouTube or even the internet (which wouldn’t come for another 15 years), I didn’t have any way to share my efforts with anyone.

But one day, along with everyone else, the technology became available that allowed me to share my musings with everyone on the planet at the same time, even if they really didn’t want to read it.

Then, as I began to mature in my faith and grow as a husband and father, I found myself using my blog as a journal, expressing in writing those biblical concepts that gain clarity from time to time. While I hope others stumble across my written thoughts and find encouragement in them, I write primarily for my own benefit, joyful in the gift and the continuing opportunity to express it.

While I have no formal biblical training, I discovered that the Bible is not a secret codebook, but is instead the original open-source document through which all things can be understood, if one is willing to position him- or herself in a way that it can be received.

My wife and I continue to celebrate our partnership of over 32 years, while enjoying the ongoing gift of family & friends, along with all the pain and joy that comes with them. We continue to live in Southern California, whether we like it or not.
