I believe that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the Son of God and rose from the dead as Lord, forever immortal. I am a writer of fictional short stories and non-rhyming poetry, primarily of the Speculative Fiction genre with Gothic elements and also with occasional Weird Horror/Cosmic Horror. I enjoy reading Theology, Church History, American History and European History, as well as Fiction. I am married and am also a father. All of my stories and poems are fictional unless specifically stated otherwise to be "Non-Fiction" by me, such as some of my theological works. As an ex-drinker who was set free from alcoholism by the mercy of God, I am a strong supporter of Temperance (abstaining from alcoholic beverages and encouraging others to do the same for the moral well-being of humanity)
