My Personal Poem 001

When I arrive in heaven I wonder how it will be,
To see my wonderful Saviour
The one who died for me,
All the wonderful things he will show me
When I walk through the gates,
The ones who's gone be for me
Who now in heaven wait,
To spend eternity with them
Never to part no more,
Yes the wonderful things He'll show me,
When I arrive in heaven
To live forever more.


BIO


I was born in Houston, Texas and grew up in Northern Californian in the Napa Valley area with the large extended family on my mother’s side. After the passing of my grandfather in 1960 we returned to Houston where I remained and finished school. I could go on at great length about this. Rachel, my wife, is the only reason I’ve made it this far and there is not a day that passes in which I am not overwhelmed by how lucky I am to have her. Or that she’ll have me, depending on how you look at it. She is everything to me and that’s the truth. And I haven’t even started in yet about our sons, Jerry and Joshua.

In 1974 I was ordained as a Christian minster of the Gospel. I became a master Mason in the Masonic Lodge, (A.F. & A. M.) in May 1984 and have served as a Chaplain for three years, In the last 25 years I have felt compiled to put forth a list of Masonic prayers that could be used by our fraternity and fellow Chaplain’s.
