I was raised in a hard core catholic family and was a pretty rotten kid. Dumb as a box of rocks and about as valuable. I did a lot of filthy, wicked things as a teenager. If God had not allowed me to find a Gospel tract in the bathroom at a McDonalds when I was 16 or 17, I probably would never had gotten saved. It took me several more years of trying to run my own life before God could get my attention. At the age of 23 He allowed me to get cancer. It was through this trial that I finally got saved. Once I was saved I wanted to learn all I could about HIM. I thought I would go back to the Catholic church and be the best Catholic ever. Once I began to study my Bible and Catholic church history, I noticed that the two of them were vastly different. As I studied more about the Catholic religion, I became sickened by all of the evils it has brought into the world. I found out that the catholic religion has the trappings of Christianity but is NOT Christian in any way, shape or form. I have spent years studying it's history and beliefs and am saddened by how many people are fooled by it's lies. Praise God, I got out! At this point in my life I am the pastoral assistant of Calvary Baptist Church in McClure, Ohio. I am an old fashioned kind of guy. I believe man and woman have their rightful place according to the Bible. A man should talk, look and act like a man. Effeminate, sissified men make me want to puke. A woman should talk, look and act like a lady. Bossy, wenchy, lazy, women need to be taught their proper biblical role. A man is the head of the household and his decision is final. (My wife let me say that). I believe in conducting myself like a bible believing Christian should. It has taken me a very long time to understand what a Christian husband and father should be. I regret not being a better father to my kids and husband to my wife. I had no example to learn from because my father pretty much ignored me my whole life. It is sad because he grew up without a father so he had no idea how to be a father either. If I could say one thing to all of the young men wanting to be fathers it would be, "before you have kids, learn all you can from someone who is a good biblical example of a father". I want to be a blessing to people by helping with their physical needs but more importantly their spiritual needs. I believe the King James Bible is the most accurate history, science, math, English, and religious book ever written. (I do believe that I can prove that). I love to study all kinds of topics and my library proves it. One of my favorite things to do is preach in the jails. I also love teaching younger men how to build things and think outside the "box". I love the military and what American use to stand for. I long for the day when I can finally go home to Heaven.
