Life is about learning and growing.
These are the stories of my journey and what I have learned along the way. A
life I could only dream about; taking me from from park bench to park
avenue. I realize how blessed I am to be able to be a good father to my
children. I remind myself that the glory goes to God, or if you prefer my
higher power. I tried for years to do things my way, but my will was taking
me to terrible places, and my thinking kept me there for longer than I can
remember. I am so thankful for the new life that God has blessed me with. I
thank him for giving me this new beginning on my life, and I know that these
writings are not for my glory, but to give glory to the one who brought me
from despair and desperation, to a humble life filled with love, and
overflowing with joy.
