      The Introduction

      there is a Great Light that shines As beacon to all men to every nation and heaven believe this light is Christ Jesus though I’m just man But I feel compelled to write about My Lord and savior as he said Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. I believe that Gods Holy Word the bible and is true. This is a collection of my thoughts about the Word of God and my thoughts about life.

      Isaiah 9:1-3 1 Nevertheless the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed,As when at first He lightly esteemed The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,And afterward more heavily oppressed her, By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, In Galilee of the Gentiles. 2 The people who walked in darkness Have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, Upon them a light has shined. 3 You have multiplied the nation And increased its joy; They rejoice before You According to the joy of harvest, As men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

      This book does not surpass the Holy Bible. The Bible is my source of inspiration. It is about my search for God through prayer and searching the scriptures. It is a my testimony how I dealt with depression and bipolar disorder. It’s about faith and a message of hope. It is my testimony and finding the love of God through my struggles with depression. It is my goal to help people return to their walk with God, and to alleviate their suffering. It tells of my questions of creation, the existence of God, the mystery of heaven and my desire to preach the Gospel.

      The Wandering Child

      When I was growing into a young man, I remember having an argument with my mother and sister. At the end of the discussion, I decided that my family and I needed God. My grandfather was a devout Jehovah’s Witness and he was dying of cancer. I remember talking to him one night as we looked out at the stars in the sky. He told me how God created the earth and paradise. As I thought about how God must have done that, I was struck with awe. We talked about religion and God, and something in my heart caused me to want more.I believe God created an opportunity for me to see my aunt who is a devoted Christian. When I got there, she asked me if I had ever been saved. I said no, and so she asked me if I would like to be? I said a prayer with her, and asked Jesus into my heart and life that day. As I did, I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit.
