About Me
I was born and raised in Michigan, on a farm, with six brothers and sisters, Mom and Dad, three horses, many sheep, a few goats, crazy looking chickens, two bugal pups, a dog, cattle, and a rabbit named 'pink eye'
I learned a little bit about carpentry and helped in the construction of several homes. I learned a little bit about fire arms and served our country. I learned a little bit about giving, and took what ever I could. Sin became a way of life for me, because to me, it did not matter one way or the other. I was going in the wrong direction...,for 30 years. Every form of lawlessness became a way of life with me.
I can give true witness of a teaching in the bible that speaks of the day of (God's) visitation, and His wrath. In a one man cell, having come to the very bottom of the pit of misery that had no light in it, I asked for His mercy, and to teach me the things I could not possibly know without Him. Immediately a vision was given to me (in creation language), revealing to me it is for this very purpose Jesus was sent to this desolate place in my life, as an unexpected river flows across a desert, bringing with it, life. From that Day to this moment in my life, the teaching has not ceased. It is because of this that there is a compelling from within which over-flows the vessel. I know the meaning because I have personal knowledge of it. It is difficult at best for me to go anywhere without speaking of the things our Lord Jesus has done in my life, and a redeeming power found within a person who has experienced being freed from the bondage of sin.
No matter where I travel, I give witness along the way about something that has been hidden from the ways of the world, and shown to me by the Spirit of grace, 'The story of the Christian fish' on a personal plane. There are many things of creation language shown to me, but the teaching of the biblical fish is the signature by which I give witness, and people know me by that signature.
Speaking to God, a Prophet named Habakkuk asked, "Why do You make men like fish of the sea; like creatures who wander as if they have no ruler over them?"
These who wander as if they have no ruler over them, are the 'lost' Jesus spoke of when He said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." When you are enabled to see this on a personal plane, examine the parable of the coin in the fish's mouth. Jesus caused a law to be fulfilled in us when we heard the word of God, repented of our sins and came in from the ways of the world to be counted in the census of His people. When we gave witness in the church of the things our Lord has done by His own hand, we have given this gift to the Temple as a memorial, a witness of the things Jesus has done; A gift given "For Me and for you."
This is the meaning of the Christian fish. It does not have to be hidden from us any more. We are no longer 'strangers' to His Temple.
These things I give witness of are gifts of recognition of those who our Lord Jesus had sent into my life; Speaking of a need for repentance. If anyone wonders whether this is such a thing as a 'heart of stone' I can say truthfully there is such a thing as a heart of stone. But because of the many who were sent my way to give witness of the work of sin, and the greater work of Grace found in Jesus; When the day came to face Him, desiring His mercy, I began to see the necessity of Those Who Are Sent. So I wrote this work as a witness;
Early in my adult life, after military and after moving to Pennsylvania, there were hard times.
