“It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree helping each other to one or the other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all of our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations – these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit – immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.”
C. S. Lewis
“I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” (John 11:25–26)

| Introduction | I am an apprentice of Jesus, devoted to following Him in His life, death, and Resurrection. I have mentored and discipled many people in the over the years and I now I enjoy seeking to communicate and explain my trust in the God revealed in Scripture by the Resurrection of Jesus. The Resurrection has become my passion as well as my hope. Over 45 years as a Christian, I am happy to report by testimony that my discovery of the Resurrection (especially in the past 5+ years) has radically transformed my thinking, life, devotion, and overall experience and understanding of everything (and I do mean ‘everything’). To some that may sound too grandiose, but I challenge anyone to dig deep into the meaning as well as phenomenon of the Resurrection, and judge for yourself if what I am giving witness to is mere hype! It is not: it has become the core conviction of my life. My faith-bond in Jesus has risen to a level of confidence that comes as close to certainty as I think is humanly possible. I cannot fully express the peace I experience loving and trusting the Jesus through His Resurrection. I want everyone to share this grace I have found in His Resurrection life. |
| Interests | Interests? The Resurrection of Jesus, and what that entails. I like romantic comedies, especially in Korean and Chinese dramas, as well as sci-fi, action, and supernatural thrillers. I enjoy science and technology (surprised?). I enjoy forming intimate lasting relationships. After all, I am a heir of Jesus’ Resurrection. |
