“'Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good.' In various stages of my life, starting as a youngster, the Lord in His mercy has invited me. Because of His grace, I have responded to His invitation. Never have I been disappointed.  Because the Lord is so good, there is an urgency in my heart to share the love of Jesus with everyone, especially among the young people when they are just starting their own life journey, as well as with everyone regardless of race, color, or creed. With Jesus leading the way, you will find, as I have found, how wonderful and meaningful life is!"
