our history

In 1994, I was looking for answers to questions about my life and for some reason I felt the Bible had the answers I was looking for... Little did I know then that the Bible had not only the answers to all those questions, but to many more questions.

I learned to embrace the Holy Spirit and allow him to teach me what I needed to know. To deal with the joy and suffering of this life, to be content in the moment.

There is a story about this picture, but you may have to wait for it until I fully understand what happened.

Thanks for the support & prayers that have made "Why Grandpa" possible!
