Pressing on!

Bobbi :Roberta and I dated 22 years prior to 2003. She got scared and ran away from Pennsylvania to Hawaii. On January 2, 2004, we became Mr. and Mrs.

Philippians 3: 12-14, NIV: Not that I have already obtained all this, or already have been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

My life does have similar characteristics to Paul who wrote these verses. While I was born on June 19, 1956 and raised in St. Matthews Evangelical Congregational Church in Emmaus, PA, my persecution of the church was by being a lukewarm believer. While Paul's life got straightened out right away on the Damascus Road as a non-believer, mine developed as a believer. Accepting Jesus as a teen at church camp, Twin Pines in Pennsylvania's Poconos, I got tired of playing Shakespeare with Christians. It is well accepted, even idolized, to "soundeth" foolish around God. Well, the partying crowd was ready for me. They did not seem evil, but I got bad habits that almost led to my death. The reason I returned to my faith: as this website is entitled, "JesusLivesTODAY!" (FYI- I am privileged to retain a height of 5'4" and will shrink if I take after mom.)


Let's show our friends/enemies today a Jesus who is alive today.

Ahead into the Past

There are things that I have done for which I am ashamed.
Nobody but me could be blamed.
If only I had the gift to look ahead into the past.
How I could then make the good times last.
But, now the past is done.
I wish that I had another chance; just one.
My future will be my past before I know.
Will I choose the right road to go?
