PERSEVERANCE

Please help me oh Lord, I’m all out of fight,

Satan’s beaten me down throughout the long night.

But somehow, still standing, not certain of why,

it must be your strength that’s getting me by.

For long has this battle worn me too thin,

not sure I can take one more on the chin. 

But You promise to rescue, I’m quite sure this is clear,

no doubt that’s why I’m still standing right hear.

For your strength is made perfect in my weakness that’s right,

a truth from your word that leads me this night.

Now get up, dust off and get back in the game,

you’re a Christian son, never forget your name!

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Cor 12:9

Just a fellow traveler in this journey called life whose been all over the proverbial map. I was a Captain in the United States Army, an internet entrepreneur before it's time, an Actor, a Real Estate Agent, Social Worker, Executive Director of a non-profit, a Production Foreman, Team Leader, Technical Writer, Small Business Owner, and a Quality and Operations Manager. As a volunteer, I have taught, coached, written lesson plans, led small groups and mentored men as a part of Christian Ministry. I currently work with men as a lay counselor both in and out of jail. I am a guy who never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up and quite frankly, still not really sure. I like to write stories, commentary, screenplays and a little poetry that I hope will make you think about more than what you’re wearing today, or whether your favorite team won the big game. My wife Jill and I have three adult children and two grandchildren. When I’m not working or enjoying my family, I find pleasure in the pursuit of writing thought provoking stories and poetry about the human drama.
