Like so much about my about past, I had wide opinions and narrow views about life. This included politics and people; aesthetics and art; food and fun.

I like dogs and I have many friends who love their dogs. But it was a feline, not a canine, that God would use to soften my hardened heart. A life wandering in darkness; a life without Love.
Read MoreSpin: The World’s Oldest Profession
Before sin, began spin. Born from a serpent twisting words, professing half-truths, profaning God’s character and propagating doubt. Bringing deadly lies into God’s good world that would lead humanity down a path that’s never about love only about death.
