Many women will tell you how their faith just sprung to life when they gave birth.  My story is not all that different.  It’s been 21 years since I KNEW that God was real.  Yet, 98% of my maturity occurred in the last 6 years.  That left me wandering for 15 years, lost in the desert. The desert that is Las Vegas, NV. Continue reading “Goodbye World – Hello Abundant Life!”
