Three Things About Me
- As you may or may not have read in my ABOUT page, the only gift I acknowledge and thank God for is Creative Arts. As a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I have also written and preached quite a few “creative” sermons. This, along with my wife’s encouragement, has prompted me to write about one of my greatest passions, lighthouses. But, till this day I do not consider myself a writer. I still struggle when people praise my writing. So, I give God ALL the glory and accept that He can use that also to bless and encourage others.
- My mom prayed for a boy and a girl, but God gave her only one child, me. So, she taught me how to sew, crochet, cook, iron, clean (no, I mean really clean!), fold my clothes (military style), gardening and last but not least, she taught me to fear God. The reason I am here today is without a doubt because of her example and her prayers!
- I am not sure how familiar you are with Marvel’s superheroes and villains, but my kids swear I look like Thanos. So, to prove it they sent my photo to a few friends. They all agree! LOL
My 5 Questions to Answer:
- Why did you start your blog? –Becuase of my wife. She has been my greatest inspiration and encouragement. Since I am a lighthouse aficionado I decided to write a couple of devotions based on my love for these sentinels of the sea. My first few posts catapult me into an incredible journey of researching lighthouse facts, stories, and visiting as many lighthouses as possible. This is what has given life to Lighthouse Devotions.
- What is your best achievement in blogging? –When I reached 52 devotions. This is what encouraged me to edit my best posts and prepare them to publish a Weekly Devotions book in the near future.
- What has been the craziest things you have done while traveling? – I dared to drive up a one-vehicle wide two-way treacherous road up a mountain to get to a lighthouse on top of a bluff. (Once we got to the foot of the bluff my wife decided not to climb because the path was too luscious and dark!) >:-(
- If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? – I would add 3-4 more inches to my height. (NO, I do not have a height complex, I’m 5’6″. It’s just that pants and shirts would be easier to come by!)
- My weird question: jello or pudding? Jello. Preferably with fruit in it.
