The goal of the
writings on this
page is not to alienate, but to include. Not to judge, but to accept.
Not to hate, but to love. My writings reflect my own struggles, and the
struggles of those around me. My own fears, and the fears of this dying
world. I am no better than the least, therefore, I am the least. I am a
servant in a society which longs to be served. I am a missionary in a
lost and dying land. I struggle with the same temptations. I am guilty
of the same sin. I fall victim to the same crimes. I live and die on
the same earth. I am no better. I have simply found the escape, and the
key to the future and the past. I have discovered an answer that was
there all along, but that so many have been too prideful to accept.
Religious
Legalism is a lie.
Religion leads astray.
Relationships last forever,
and Christ is eternal.
When you read, do
not assume.
When you ponder, do not criticize, for all have sinned, and fallen
short. This includes you. When you see ones as I, lying on the streets,
hiding in the alleys, falling to our knees, lift us up, help us out,
and grant us your prayers and open arms. We all long for the same
things. We all have the same needs. We all deserve to be loved. We are
defined by That in which we place our faith! Not by our struggles! Not
by our sins! Not by our desires! We are defined not so much by what we
do, but by Whose we are, and it is in this fact which I find my peace.
Knowing to Whom I belong, and believing in He who loves us with a love
that is never ending, and truly unconditional.
If you know not of what I speak, then ask. If you claim to know, and
still cast judgement, then my prayers are with you and your families.
Christ came to heal, and to serve. He taught of love, and forgiveness.
He served the sinner, and criticized the religious. He was, and is the
God of all, who loves His children, each and every one, no matter where
our struggles lie. He gave His life so we could be free. His grace is
truly sufficient.
Some of
what you may read here
may be too intense for the weak in spirit. Please acknowledge, before
proceeding, that some of what you are about to read was written in the
darkest times of my life. It is raw, and honest. There may be moments
in reading, where you experience my doubt, my pain, my fear. During
those moments, please realize that it is only because of the darkness,
that I am truly able to see the light. In no way do I want anyone to
misunderstand my intent with the contents of this page. It is an open
expression of all that I've been through in life. Included are both
works of fiction, and works of fact. Before you jump to conclussions
about anything's meaning, pray. And, if you are still unclear, then,
please, e-mail me, and ask. Through my faith in Christ, I am willing to
make my life an open book.
Only proceed if you
can do so
with an open mind, and heart. Only proceed if you are capable of seeing
past the facade, into the spirit of the writer. Do not accept any work
of art at face value. Realize, before you begin, that there is often
much deeper meaning, then, that which is evident on the surface.
