Shaky knees or not, I am grateful and honored that I have this opportunity to share with you what I love most. That is Restored The Gospel of Jesus Christ, and how this has brought me from the edge of life, hanging by a thread. To a man full of hope, joy and love. I cherish life and I don’t think I’ll ever look at it the same again. I’ve seen so many things, and I know that we have a loving Father in Heaven, and a Savior who deeply cares for each of us. They are pulling for our well being and they do want us to succeed.
