Now we’ve shared the first three parts of my release from exile and deliverance to my land Beulah. But there’s a fourth and final part; a part worth contemplating: God’s hand in my arrival home. When I first sat down to write this posting, I had the intention of running a timeline for you showing…

Love Is All You Need
Writing for this blog has been both challenging and rewarding. It started out as a suggestion by my sister and my wife as a therapeutic exercise for me. I needed a way to work through many things like the impact of coming to prison, working more fully into my faith, and exorcising some demons from…
