I am truly blessed, and thankful for the opportunities God gave me to change my life. My wife and I create art that has a spiritual flavor, but I wouldn't call myself a religious person. I am hungry for the wisdom to know, and understand God's heart and mind. I believe that religion will not get me into heaven, but it can be a ticket to hell. Religion is not the Savior that it pretends to be. From my youth I was taught that the only way to God was religion. There in lies the problem with the modern church. Faith and religion are not the same thing. Religion is a hungry monster that wants to consume you if you play by its rules. Otherwise Religion will seek to destroy you and your good name. Religion points it's finger at mankind and says, "your guilty." Faith, always welcomes everyone with open arms.


Who am I that God has chosen to love me? I am weak. I am flesh that is filled with the desire to do what is evil. When I asked for wisdom, God gave me the opportunities to be wise. When I asked for faith, He gave me the opportunities to be faithful. When I asked for strength, God gave me the opportunities to be strong. When I asked for patience, He gave me the opportunities to be patient. When I asked for Love, God gave me His only Son, Jesus Christ.
