Thanks for visiting my diary. I've been journaling since 1984 and have chosen to share some of my entries online. They are not all positive thoughts, but I hope that reading them might be a blessing to someone who needs encouragement.

If you are just coming to my diary for the first time, please read my introductory entry, where I share some background that is important if you plan to follow this diary regularly.

Please also visit my music page, where you can hear samples from my debut CD, I Believe, which features songs written based on experiences shared in this journal.

When Eve and then Adam ate the forbidden fruit, they became infected with a spiritual germ: sin. Specifically, they were infected with the knowledge of, or knowledge of the difference between, good and evil. Now I am stuck. If God made only good things, then what does this mean?
