Important Stuff

In putting together a website, you've got to think about what content you want to include.  On this page, I've decided to let you know just a little about me and what is important to me.

Faith in Jesus Christ, to me, is the most important thing.  It is from that faith in Him that gives me strength to persevere in trying times.  It is that faith that gives me peace in times of uncertainty.  It is through the finished work of Jesus Christ that allows me to know that I will have eternal life.  Through His death, my sins were buried, through His resurrection, my life was gained.

Family ranks right up there too.  My wife really is my best-friend, it would be difficult for me to be without her.  She supports, councils, advises and admonishes (when need be) me.  We were not blessed with children, but that is ok too, very occasionally we’ve been able to baby-sit the children of friends and have had fun doing so.  You also get to give them back when they don’t behave, or are cranky.  Mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers…it’s very important to maintain that family tie…it’s so sad when you lose a loved one, especially if there is a strain in the relationship…

Friends…where would you be without a true friend?  I know that I’ve had many friends over the years…a number of them I would consider good friends, a very few “best friends”.  You are very fortunate if you have someone that you consider a best friend.  Friends stand with you in bad times as well as good times.  Unfortunately, for one reason or another, you tend to loose contact with some folks.  As I reflect back on the people that I've called friend, I often wonder what has become of those that I've lost contact with...are they well?  Some day, I may run across some of them again and it neat to reconnect with them.  Some, I will probably never see again, this side of Heaven and some have already passed from this life...I hope to see them in Heaven.

About Me

I'm a transplanted California native living in Covington, Louisiana...by way of north Florida.

Computers and technology is my #1 hobby.  Medically retired after working in the trucking industry, I enjoy using my time as a computer and A/V tech volunteer.
