Life is a Role Model

At an early age, realizing that sports figures, movie stars and politicians were not suitable role models. Leading a life of lies, crime and all for money and power seemed to be shortsighted.

Reading books and stories about Winston Churchill, Mahatma Gandhi, Will Rogers and Tom Horn. I found they had both excellent qualities and bad. Church was tannish, Gandhi was patient, Will Rogers kept the nation laughing in the hard times and Tom Horn’s last words are you cannot kill a Christian.

It was my father, an Idaho cowboy showed me what integrity truly is. My great grandfathers both successful, honest men who had the respect of the community and one another. One graduated from Harvard, the other only had a third-grade education.

My family fought for this country in every military action, since the Revolutionary war. We have six generations of police officers in our family.

I joined the Army at the ripe old age of sixteen and served in the Army in Korea. I spent four years there. Then I came home and was a police officer for a year.

Lessons learned, acquire a degree in electronics in the Army. Had it with war and crime, I pursued peace. Both men of strong conviction John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, had a dream died, murdered. Walt Disney, a man with a vision and courage imagination can take you anywhere.

I worked for Disney for eleven years, after the family lost the corporation it was not the same. The pressure and stress was a killer. 18 of my friends died from stress-related problems and two suicided. So much for “The happiest place on earth.”

Then I found my role model. Better yet, He found me. He gave his life to me as I might live. He wrote me a love letter, Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth, Yes the Bible.

This journey has taken me around the world and back to serving the cause of genuine love.

His Hebrew name is Yeshua He is the Messiah. You may know him as Jesus the Christ. I have now served him for over forty years. His guidance and instruction manual has given me everything I need in this life. And gives me the direction to the next life, the most exciting journey is to come.
