Bio
I spent most of my young adult years in jails and prisons. When I wasn't in jail I lived on the streets, cold, alone and scared. In Oct. 1992, I had a spiritual revival that defies description, (see my post "Who I Am") and have since dedicated my life to assisting the homeless, with an emphasis on the mentally and emotionally challenged. I spent a few years operating a bus ministry that I called the American Highways Ministry, and am now trying to figure out financing to start a new church, here in Weed, to be named A New Perspective Christian Ministry.

Secure… Read full post »

Wax Warrior

The troops were moving into place

 Led by one who had no face

Led by one who noone knew

 One whose fears were very few

 Until

 When alone and all is still

When set free from anothers will 

He breaks and cries from what he's done

Hundreds of bodies laid out… Read full post »

My Unca Chuck

My childhood sucked.  My dad was a drunk. My Mom was so emotionally disturbed she was incapable, for a large portion of my childhood, to even perform her duties as a mother properly. In fact, about the only good part of my family was my uncle, Chuck.

Uncle Chuck was… Read full post »

At Risk Kids

I'm sitting here typing this but it"s kinda hard to see because there are tears in my eyes and a tear in my heart. You see I just left B. at the bus station where she is off to embark on her career. And that is why I cry. That is… Read full post »
