I am a man with one simple objective, to live as close to God as I can and still remain in this world, to touch the lives around me in an everlasting way, that will cause them to see that an ordinary man can know and have a real relationship with the creator of the universe. I believe that the purpose of mankind has been and will always be to know, love, and serve God, that in doing so, we find our richest fulfillment, our deepest joy, and we win our greatest victories. Whatever good that may be found in me or may come of my thoughts, words, or deeds, it is only by His great mercy and abundant grace. I consider myself an old fashioned guy with old fashioned values. I think men ought to treat women with dignity, respect and consideration, not make crude and suggestive comments about them. I also think women should act and dress like ladies, modesty seems to be a forgotten concept these days. I believe that marriage is a gift from a loving God, that it should last our life time.
