I was born in the year of our Lord 1958 in Duluth Minnesota, shortly after my birth the family moved hoping they could have a new start, from the life they were living there in Duluth I was so new to the world that they left when we got out of the hospital and headed to sunny California. Later when I was 8 years old I had my fi rst drink of alcohol and then it would rule my life until my near death experience when I was in my 30's, they said I wouldn't make it until morning, but God had different plans for my life. He remembered the little boy of three years old and how he played outside of the Church, I tried to live my life my way, but it didn't work. And I would spend the rest of my years loving our Lord, He brought me through many bad things that happened to show me that we can't do everything on our own. My heart was always hurting not knowing my father and I never felt like a whole person until God came into my life, I wrote this book to help people and I hope it helps some of you reading it. My thoughts were put on these pages during the healing process of my mind and body and while I embraced the second chance God gave me at life. Should you get a second chance at life grab it with both hands and God will do many things for you, to help you through and understanding what's taking place, He loves us all and wants the best for us may God bless you all, each and every-one of you much love and peace.
