I want to continue to grow in God as I grow alongside this nation as a man. I believe with a whole heart that God will quietly guide me back to Him, accompanying me with peace and love along the way.

It is not delusional to think we can change a world that is shrouded in darkness. A light, in and of itself, changes darkness by its very nature. If I choose to shine as a light in the darkness, I will illuminate the world around me. If I choose love over hate, I will make a difference – no matter how small that difference may be. You will, too.

I hope to find lasting happiness and empower and inspire my fellow beings to also acquire and project their own happiness throughout the multiverse, enabling those ignorant, darkened souls to bloom and experience the blessings of true freedom.

You could say I’ve spent most of my life as a heathen and a hypocrite. I’ve blasphemed God’s name more times than I can count. I’ve sinned countlessly. Through it all, God has always protected me. His love is never ending and ceaseless. In my experience, His love has been everything He’s ever promised. I want you to know that love, because it is the most heartwarming thing imaginable.

Though I failed to remain faithful to the woman I married originally in 2004, I will never resign myself to repeating the same mistakes again. A coward would do that, and I am no coward.

I will show my progeny that I am a loving man that was raised by beautiful, kind people, and that though I have a dark, flawed side, the beautiful heart inside of me has always gravitated toward good and our Higher Being’s grace much like I know my ancestors’ hearts and those that came before them did, as well.

If there's one thing I have, my friends, it's a gigantic pair of balls and those balls produce sperm that makes amazing, responsible, loving and kind, but ridiculously courageous and tough, badass children. Just sayin', just sayin', because I speak in facts and there are four facts that I need to state and they are one word each: Jayden, Jaxson, Owen and Finley.

It is said that true love lasts forever – the pain tells me they were right.I didn’t know what love was before my children were born, and I didn’t find myself until we parted ways.

All I’ve ever wanted in life is to save others. Heroes save people. I’ve desired to be a fearless warrior and protector for the God I was taught guides our every footstep. All I’ve wanted is to show Him that I wasn’t always afraid; to show Him that I was someone He could be proud of.
