This has been a long time coming.
This site has had an influence on a lot of people
and in doing so, I have tried to do what I felt was
right for my audience.

Of late, I have had more and more conflicts trying
to resolve my orientation with my faith. I know in
my heart that there is a conflict. On the day I am
writing this,it is the day after Easter and early
in the morning. I can no longer in good conscience
administer this webpage.

I grew up Christian and believe this personal webpage is in
contradiction with my faith and belief in Jesus
Christ as my Lord and Savior. I do not believe
there can be any other substitute for or alternative
to walking away from all the things that I feel are
a stumbling block to honestly serving my faith in Jesus.

On Christmas week I attended my own father's funeral after
he fought a long battle with cancer. During that time, I
got a chance to say all the things I wanted to say to him
including asking him if he believed in Jesus Christ as his
Lord and Savior and the only way to salvation. He was living
several states away but I was told by those around him that
whenever he could, he'd attend church and accepted Jesus as
his savior. I would be a hypocrite to stress the importance
of this for him while not following my faith in Jesus.

Prior to this, I experience what I can only call persecution
above and beyond what most people would expect to experience.


Regardless of whether this was a test of my faith or intended
to make me give up on my faith, I felt it was urgent that I
increase my efforts to be true to my faith even if it meant
compliance one step at a time by dismantling things which, again,
I felt were stumbling blocks. My father's death was and is
confirmation that the time to act is limited. None of us know
how much time we have left.

To any Christians who happen by this page, as I struggle with
my habits: smoking, arrogance, hypocrisy, and short temper among
others, I ask for your prayers that I may leave these behind me
as well as your prayers that others honestly seek out Jesus Christ
as their Lord and Savior.

To all taking the time to read this, thank you
and God bless.
