When I was a child I would dream of traveling to the nearest planet or moon. True I lived on Earth and earth was my home. But I wanted to travel and be an astronaut. I collected articles and studied books and daydreamed. I became caught up in Mars as a teen of 13 with Edgar Rice Burroughs and Robert Heinlin and Arthur C Clarke and other writers who wound me into their adventures.

Then one day I truly met God and began to speak with the creator of all these things. And I was amazed and overwhelmed and my world opened up. My eyes began to see and my heart began to understand. And in all these things God gave me a dream. And that dream was to be his ambassador to the stars.

Now maybe that sounds foolish but to God it wasn’t. He talked to me and showed me an area to get into that would be of value no matter where I went. Housing. And he showed me the one thing that would be appreciated no matter where I traveled. Faith. And he taught me the very beginnings of what would enrapture me for a few trillion years. Love.

So these pages are his knowledge given to me as a gift of love. I share it back with you in hopes that it will carry you to the stars with the words that I write. In in the carrying you will find the joy of the Lord. For even the morning stars sing for Joy to this day.
