I can only claim to be a believer in and follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, my Savior and my God. To allow God's word to give its own testimony is my sole motivation. My walk is as a "Christian Individualist," without any affiliation with any "church" organization or group of any kind. So, I can't be dis-fellowshipped or kicked out.But, I can study to show myself approved of God without regard for what anyone else might think or say. I am a progressive and perpetual student of God's word, always and forever looking for His light to shine forth on any matter. I am one who has learned to think for myself, which is more than I can say for most people. Thinking is hard work, and many do not… want to engage in it. I am one who is trying to place God first and foremost in all my thoughts, words and deeds.Educational Background:Purdue University Electrical EngineeringUniversity of Washington Biological OceanographyDefense Language Institute RussianDefense Language Institute ArabicQualifications:Arabic Linguist for the National Security Agency (6 years)Instructor - Beginning and Intermediate New Testament GreekProgressive and Perpetual Bible StudentBeliever In and Follower of the Lord Jesus ChristPrevious Publications:The Seven Pillars of Death: Is Your Belief Foundation Sure?, Authorhouse, October 2007The Kingdom of God 101: A Primer, CreateSpace July 2009"An Open Letter to Dads Who Believe the Bible is the Word of God." an essay published by The Word of Truth Ministry."A Christmas Essay," published by The Word of Truth Ministry (also published in the United Kingdom)."Islam - Religion of Peace?" a paper presented at Pasadena, California in May of 2006."The Third Wedding," an essay published and read on 700 ABC and Affiliate Radion Stations nationwide.
