I am currently writing a manuscript on where I am in my spiritual journey. My title at the moment is, “Who Am I Becoming and Where am I going”? In my lifetime, I have learned that Jesus Christ is the Redeemer of mankind, and He wants men to attain their best life by following after Him and His ways.

It hasn’t always been this way in my life. I have had many letdowns, and I have let the Lord down in so many ways. But I am in a season of listening to hear the Lord God’s voice. Through impressions and understanding of the Scriptures.

As this year of 2026 goes on, I find myself increasingly impressed by God, and it is making me steadier and even. This year I will turn 67. My plan last year was to get ready for adjustments. I am doing that. I am going to the gym to get fit and lose weight. I am the best version of myself at work, most days.  Go to a men’s group. I am picking up a teaching series at church on engaging culture in a meaningful way. My children are doing well in their lives. My wife loves me and believes in me. We have been married for forty-six years, soon to be forty-seven. I am trying to put my financial house in order. I am cleaning areas I use at home trying to divest myself of things I do not use and things that need to go.

I get the sense God loves me and wants me to be present in the moment of the rest of my life. It really is an amazing time in my life. I am waiting. Waiting to hear what’s coming, what’s next in my life.

I read, study, research, and analyze American foreign policy for my readers. I condense it to blog posts and it gets pushed out to all my social media outlets. My writing projects are several, including the above referenced project, a debut novel about a compelling cast of characters, great scenes and dialogue, along with a great ending. My mother put out her memoir last year called “Our 60 Year Journey: My Life – Being Born Amish Then Married and Employed by Cia, Then Later We Founded and Pastored Abundant Life Fellowship.” Her web site is here. In short, she was born Amish, her family left the Amish, she became holiness Pentecostal, married my father (now deceased) and they both trained as U.S. diplomats and employed by the Central Intelligence Agency from 1964 to 1973. We lived in three countries on three continents, lived through the Pakistani-India War of 1971. We made it out alive.

I am now writing my memoir, as well. I have many different memories of all of our travels over the years. I know this. God has had His hand on me and I aim to tell as much as I can. I want to testify to God’s goodness in my life.
