My writing journey began at the age of seven with composition of poems. I would be playing with other kids at breaktime, and suddenly feel a prompt to stop. At that young age, I didn’t know what prompting meant. The only way I could explain the “incident” to my mom as I handed her a poem I composed was to describe with gesture, how a “horizontal force” (not the term I used) pulled me away from the kids I was playing with, and pulled me to an empty classroom to write. I would sit down with my pencil and paper and stare at the ceiling as if words would drop from there. Few minutes later, I had a poem.

Information regarding my books (poetry and prose) will be provided on this website when the information becomes available.

This website is under construction. In the meantime, if you haven't done so, I would like to give you an opportunity to receive the most precious and eternal gift: salvation.

We sometimes hear the expression, “As precious as gold.” We all know why gold is very expensive. The answer is simple: it’s precious. There’s a gift more precious than gold, a gift worth more than all the gold and all the silver and all the diamonds in the world, a gift worth more than all the money in the world, an inexhaustible gift loaded with eternal and divine benefits, a heavenly gift called salvation, and it’s yours for the asking! Only the one and only God whose nickname is “Love” could come up with that idea.

God loves you so much that He sent Jesus (John 3:16), whose name means “Savior” because He came to save you from your sins (Matthew 1:21). To reconcile you to God, on the cross, Jesus took upon Himself your sins, your fallen nature and all that came with it, and everything that stood between you and God, and they were crucified with Him on the cross (1 Peter 2:24, 2 Corinthians 5:18-19). His resurrection from the dead signifies justification for you (Romans 4:25), a new life for you (Romans 6:4), eternal life (1 John 5:11-12).

When you receive the finished works of Christ, you become a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17), born again on the inside, with God as the Father of your spirit (John 1:12-13).

So how do you receive this all-encompassing salvation? Romans 10:9-10 says that if you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (and made righteous). Salvation and righteousness are gifts from God, not based on what you did or didn't do, but based on what Jesus did for you (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5-7, NCV; Romans 3:21-28).

If you reject the sacrifice of Jesus for your sins, you will be without recourse for your sins.

To receive salvation and all Jesus did for you, say the following prayer out loud and mean it from your heart:

"Dear God, I come to You in need of salvation. I believe that Jesus died for my sins and that You raised Him from the dead. I confess that Jesus is my Lord and my Savior. I receive Your free gift of salvation, Your free gift of righteousness, and Your free gift of eternal life. Fill me with Your precious Holy Spirit. Thank you my heavenly Father, in Jesus name. Amen."

Please note that although Jesus paid the price for sins, God still endorses the right of civil authorities to punish evildoers and praise good deeds: Romans 13:1-6, 1 Peter 2:13-14.

I want to encourage you to fulfill your individual purpose. Remember that God made you an original and not a copy of someone. Whether you're gifted and called to do one thing in life, or more than one thing in life, use the gifts and abilities God deposited in you to serve people. There's purpose for every gift and ability God gave you, and you shouldn't pay attention to anyone disparaging that. 1 Peter 4:10-11 says to bring forth the gift God placed inside you, bring forth the word God gave you on the inside, and bring forth the ability God placed inside you. God will reward you in heaven for bringing forth what He deposited in you and doing what He told you to do or prompted you to do.
