I was born the first of five in Oklahoma, raised some in Texas and then to Missouri where I graduated high school and college. Known to be the “good” kid in my family for most of my life, I was a shy kid early on but opened up quite a bit by mid-high school age.

In high school, I was voted most likely to succeed and I was determined to do so being a CEO of some company and driving a Porche 911 red convertible by age 25. That was not far from the truth, but on a much smaller scale. I wasn’t CEO, but I was making the second highest income than anyone else in the bank in which I was working before I was 28.

I stayed down to earth though – NOT. I was living large and spending money I didn’t have. Little did I know something was really wrong. A few years earlier I had sensed the Lord calling me to ministry and I had accepted as well as been accepted into Dallas Theological. But a few weeks before school started, I didn’t go.

I went a little wild, but kept my family, church and Christian friends in the dark. Before long my guilt overcame me and I turned to alcohol, partying and drugs to numb the pain of be empty. It wasn’t that God left me. I had turned just like the prodigal son taking my inheritance and spending it all and I’m not just talking about money. I’m talking spiritually, emotionally and mentally – even physically and socially.

It wasn’t long before I was “eating with the pigs.” Unfortunately, I didn’t humble myself like the prodigal son to come back to God. I was angry with my circumstances and I blamed God for some reason. So, I was going to end my life. God miraculously saved me from what should have been a fatal suicide attempt.

Since that time, I’ve been through some major ups and downs, but God has proven to be gracious, merciful, loving, accepting and bringing healing to me. In December 2003 on the way from Missouri to Dallas (I had moved there mid-2003), I got a sudden urge to write about the story of God’s grace and work in my life. And as they say, the rest is history.
