About Me
I play guitar (Blues). I paint (Oils). I write (Fiction - Poetry) I listen (it took many years to learn how to do that) -- I am out-spoken, I enjoy Dancing (slow especially -- Waltz -- FoxTrot -- TANGO!. I am in awe of nature and it's animals. Love Horses, Dogs...cats too. I've had several motorcycles 1971 Harley Sportster was my favorite.
I've jumped out of planes over400 times (with my eyes open)
I am not against drinking or alcohol, but I do not stock any in my house.
I have been a Christian since I was very young, so I took my faith for granted. As a child Jesus was as real to me as the policeman on the corner. It was all matter-of-fact.
I joined the military as a very young man and it changed me. I started to hide from Jesus because I was ashamed of my actions and deeds. My greatest sin was pride. I thought that my sins were too great to be forgiven -- that I deserved to go to hell. So for many years I wandered through the desert of humanity, choosing women that I knew would hurt me. Doctors call it a Martyr's Syndrone and Survivor's Guilt. It took many years to finally come back to Jesus. When I finally confessed to Him and asked for forgiveness -- it felt like the weight of the universe was lifted off of my shoulders.
I believe that God allowed me to go where I have been to learn how to appreciate the life He gives us. There is a French poem that translates:
The cup of Joy is carved out by the knife of Sorrow.
The more sorrow we have felt or seen in our life, the deeper our cup is and the more joy we are able to hold and feel. I have survived through things that seemed impossible to believe that I could have survived. I know now that God saved my life for a purpose and that purpose is to serve and I await His Hand in guiding me towards it.
I have made mistakes and I make no excuses, but my goal is to learn from them.
I have joined this site not to just find a wife, but a partner and friend. Someone who can be honest with themselves and me. Someone who can stand apart, but knows where her Heart is and Always returns to it.
I can be intense or completely off the wall. Serious as all or a goofball. I love to laugh and to make others laugh. I am a sucker for kids and puppies and will absolutely melt when soft, sweet eyes give me "that look". I am an amateur magician and will amaze you with sleight of hand. I know what miracles are and I can not bow low enough before my God in gratitude.
I am opening up a lot here and I am uncertain as to what to expect, but I believe in candor.
I am a romantic when I am in love. My heart will see things that my eyes previously missed and it truly feels like the one I love is a part of me and necessary for my existence, though my logical brains knows better.
The one I am in Love with:
I would never dare to ask to change.
I will catch her if she stumbles and always have a shoulder for her head.
I will be her Rock when she needs one or step back and be her greatest fan when she wants to"do her thing".
I will diligently nourish "The Garden" which is Our Love, daily.
And I will Protect and Defend her Honor, Being, Spirit and Soul with my life.
I really like what the character played by Melanie Griffith said in the movie 'Milk Money'.
"There is a place you can touch a woman that will drive her crazy. Her heart."
PS The photo on the floor isn't me...I think?
"God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him." - 1 John 4:16
As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.
William Shakespeare
First Date
Dinner at a restaurant open to the beach or gulf. Perhaps down in the Keys -- maybe even Key West. Soft lighting, soft music, lots of smiles. This is after preliminary e-mails and phone calls and maybe even a few non-date meets -- such as coffee after Church. I think that would have to be a prerequisite -- attending Church together -- before any serious "courting"occurrs.
