Life needs focus to accomplish. It needs balance to last. It needs people to be enjoyed.

I have been blessed to have all three of these to some extent in my life. The focus made it so churches and businesses could be started and built. The balance made it so I sing all over the world, this is wonderful for free drinks for my family. The people, my family, have kept me from being a working robot…most of the time.

I have had a life purpose for the last 27 years – to be all I was created to be and to help those around me do the same. I count on my sons and especially my wife to keep me balanced as a human being not human doing. They most of the time succeed.
