A healer. A survivor. A victim of profound injustice. How does someone who has dedicated their life to helping others find the strength to heal themselves after losing everything? In December 2019, I woke up in a psychiatric hospital following a suicide attempt. A simple conversation with another patient sparked a shift within me-a glimmer of clarity that would change the course of my life. But how did I end up there? What devastation could drive a loving spouse, a therapist, and a lifelong survivor to the edge of despair? This book unravels the journey that led me to that breaking point and how I found the strength to keep living. My story is one of triumph and tragedy-of overcoming paralyzing shyness and social anxiety to become a psychotherapist, only to have my life shattered by unimaginable injustice. Between 2000 and 2006, I lost everything I had built: my home, my career, my community, and the love that once gave my life meaning. The destruction was sudden, like a meteor crashing down, and the aftermath left me in ruins. Worse still, the world condemned me as a villain when I was only ever a victim. But this is not just a story of loss. It is a story of survival, of how I faced the darkness and chose to keep living. It is a testament to how love, hope, and the power of connection can guide us through even the longest night. Through this memoir, I share not only my pain but also my triumphs-the moments of joy, love, and meaning that kept me fighting for life. I write this book for anyone who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or unjustly condemned. I write it to show that healing is possible, that our stories matter, and that no matter how broken we feel, there is always a path forward. This is my story. But it is also a story of hope-for you, for me, and for anyone who has ever longed for justice, healing, and love.

The Science of God will be one man's attempt to explain his reasons for believing that there is one God, the creator of the universe, and why Christianity is His one true faith. We are living in times when Christianity is openly mocked and Christians the source of public ridicule, even violence. We are at war. We are at war for the souls of men and women, children, gay and straight, Muslim and Buddhist. Jesus showed no favoritism to whom He would love. Neither shall I. I am not a theologian or church leader. Only an engineer. A man who has loved science since his first view through a telescope at the beauty of the heavens. It wouldn't be until my 30th year that I found the Creator of those heavens and asked His forgiveness. I still ask His forgiveness. It is the best we can do. I hope that you'll join me on this exploration. Keep an open mind, as I know readers and writers alike do better than most. Thanks for reading.

They were more blue than I remembered, blue eyes are ice cold, or so that's what I thought. I didn't think they were warm. But, since I met him I've realized now, that blazing fires burn blue. His smile is captivating, engaging, and irresistible. As he was walking towards me, I felt my cheeks burning up and my hands became clammy. We never looked away from each other, eyes locked. His voice. It was like whiskey. Smooth with a slow burn that lit me up from the inside. He walked towards me in a fast pace and puts his hands on both sides of my face. He looked into my eyes and crashed his lips to mine. The world stopped for a brief amount of time. I felt alive again. The anticipation of his lips on mine. Intensity. Magnetic. Fire. Everlasting. Perfect. Completely perfect. As he pulled away, I knew I wanted more. This was just the beginning. He was my beginning. My beginning to feel alive again.
