- Bio
- I spent most of my young adult years in jails and prisons. When I wasn't in jail I lived on the streets, cold, alone and scared. In Oct. 1992, I had a spiritual revival that defies description, (see my post "Who I Am") and have since dedicated my life to assisting the homeless, with an emphasis on the mentally and emotionally challenged. I spent a few years operating a bus ministry that I called the American Highways Ministry, and am now trying to figure out financing to start a new church, here in Weed, to be named A New Perspective Christian Ministry.

I just fielded a personal message from another Os contributor. I won't go into names since they seem to want not to be exposed. If they did they would have commented in the comments section.
This contributor accused me of being a "religious con man" who was trying to "Line… Read full post »

Come with me and I'll take you on
A roller coaster ride
This carnival that we call life
Will feel so right inside
Together we will climb the heights
Together we'll come down
Holding each other as tight as we may
We'll take each turn as it comes our way
Secure… Read full post »
Who I Am
On October 1, 1992 if anyone had tried to witness to me about God I would have told them that I had a son who I loved more than anything else in the entire world and that, as far as I was concerned, any "Father" who intentionally conceived a son for… Read full post »
Wax Warrior
The troops were moving into place
Led by one who had no face
Led by one who noone knew
One whose fears were very few
Until

When set free from anothers will
He breaks and cries from what he's done
Hundreds of bodies laid out… Read full post »

Uncle Chuck was… Read full post »
