I am an Iraqi war vet, ex strip club owner, ex drug dealer, ex drug user, ex hyprocrite. No more just talking about it. I now "try" to live right for God. Since I've found Jesus, I have never been so horny, I have never been so anxious, I have never been so tempted. But since I've foind Jesus i have never felt such JOY. The devil wants to still my blessing. God is my strength so my faith will protect me and my family. I can't wait for the day God sends me a family. Hope she's ready for real love. Anyway, I am currently a flight attendant until the end of the summer then I'm going back to school. I'm going to get my book published by the end of the summer, poetry book. Entitled "Love Life & God" Look for it online and in book stores near you. Oct 2008. ;-) Thats the money maker right there. People dont know how much you get for a publishing deal. Glory of God, all day. Anyway, that's me in a nut shell, well atleast where i'm at right now in my life.
I'm currently into flying the friendly skies. Took a break from school for 1 year to be a flight attendant to get those free flights. I'm going back to school in the Fall though, so my last day will be the first of August. I'm not really sure what school i'm going to next year. I think I want to transfer. Maybe yall can help me out
Life & Professional Aspirations:
I never really knew who God was/until he showed me his love/hugged my soul so tight/despite the width and the height of my sins/he is my best friend/his compassion and love fill the emptiness of my heart and overflow the voids of my soul/i thank God for the cold, which prepared me for the heat/and made me appreciate the warmth of his spirt/he talks to me now, oh i wish you could hear it/he laughs with me/he cries with me/his son bles for me/he died for me/i thank God for Jesus Christ/I thank Jesus for paying the price/my soul is free.
TO GROW CLOSER TO GOD.
TO FIND ME A GOOD WOMAN.
TO LET THE WORLD HERE MY WORDS.
TO KEEP MAKING THAT MONEY.
Most Memorable Moment:
No more justification for my sins
No more stealing, no more lies
No more praying on my back
No more holding back my cries
My most memorable event was when I found the Lord, or rather, when God found me. Hallelujah. Most women I meet are intimidated by a good looking man, trying to make money yet trying to live right for God. My patience has grown since I've been saved. I'm still waiting. Cast away that sickness of fear.

Your lips touched my lips
We closed our eyes and we were happy
It felt like God planned this one
A heavenly experience
Soon, lust overwhelmed my spirit
