Interests:: Preparing good meals to about 250 guest at our mission here in the City of Roses. It's not about me anymore, It's about service to those who needs it the most.

It's not that I don't trust nobody, I just don't trust nobody. do unto others , before they do unto me ( My survival lie )
Other stuff about me:: I/m 61 yrs old. single been clean and sober for over 2 yrs, a intern here at the rescue mission here in Portland Or.

I am wondering how you started 'knowing' these were lies? If the wall was removed ? Then how? Just curious. I wont get offended if you dont want to answer.

My story with God

Hello David. No you didn't scare me away. If David Velasquez can't scare me away you certainly cant. The David Velasquez is comment is just a joke. Seriously I am glad your daughters welcomed you. I wouldn't have welcomed my male parent. I would have been glad he was gone. Im not saying if he done the things you did Im saying because i didn't like him. You were blessed , there are many sons and daughters who wouldnt welcome there parents after they have been abandoned. I views are different about going to church. I would prefer being able to go into a church and being with folks who love the Lord . Around folks who have the love of God shining through them. I am not in a church now but maybe someday. I do understand about how some teach fear though. Thank you so very much for telling me such a happy reunion. I wish you could have gotten your first meeting on film and shared it here for us. What an awesome day that had to of been for you. Thank you for the friend request.
