The movie, "It's A Wonderful Life" is a touching old movie about a man that finally discovers that his life isn't as bad as he thought. I have to say that my life's story is not quite like that. Let me tell you about me.

I grew up in Central Arkansas in a loving two-parent lower middle class home. My dad was a truck driver and mom was a stay at home "domestic engineer". I was good at sports and parlayed that into a scholarship to a small college in Conway. I didn't play much football but I was fortunate enough to meet my wife there. All together, I had a wonderful life.

Mom always had us in church. We were a "if the doors are open, we're there" kinda family. It was there that I found that the Bible contained truth. A truth that changed my life. Can I share this truth with you?

God loves us but we have a problem that separates us from Him. That problem is sin but the Good News is that God provided a way for us to establish a relationship with Him. It requires that we believe and trust in Him and I'd like to share with you how I came to trust and a belief in the One that created the universe.

If you are reading my bio, then the chances are that you and I have crossed paths somewhere and I've asked that you check my profile out. If you are interested in this truth that I'm talked briefly about, then send me an email and we'll make plans to find time to talk more in depth about things.

I thought that my life was wonderful until I discovered that I was living a life that could not "pay or play" my way into a relationship with Jesus Christ. Now that I know the truth and have determined to follow Jesus, my life is so much more wonderful than I could have realized. No, it's not perfect but it is wonderful. I can't wait to tell you about Him.
