My Back Story "Battling Demons In The Darkness"

---

For More Then 20 Plus years Of My Life I lived a life of absolute lawlessness. 

In A Very Dark, Cold And Miserable Place.  

I  had become a Monster. 

I was a self serving, self centered , cold hearted , cruel , Black hearted Monster.

I only cared about one thing 

"MYSELF'' 

No One Else's Feelings, Concerns Or Safety Mattered to me but mine. 

If I had to step on your neck to get what I wanted from you...I did exactly that. Regardless of the consequences. 

For years I was constantly  looking over My Shoulder. 

Always concerned that the next corner I would go around,  I would come face to face again with a Law Enforcement or someone I had done wrong. 

My Cruel lawless actions had resulted in me being incarcerated several times. 

Spending long stretches in jail.

Several Of My Cruel Actions which are considered felonies , such as credit card fraud, writing countless worthless checks, breaking and entering into several homes, Felony Vandalism, Auto Theft,  theft by taking , Physical Asault Etc Should have had me thrown in Prison. I just never got caught committing those crimes.

In addition to civilian jail I also did a years Stretch in the U.S. Marine Corps Brig for going A.W.O.L. 

My Brig time was followed by receiving an Other Than Honorable Discharge From The U.S. Marine Corps. 

After My Marine Corps service my life took a turn for the worse.

Spiraling down into a deep dark cold abyss.

My actions hurt many people. 

To include but not limited to My Very Own Family.

I was a Terrible Friend, A Very horrible Brother, A Sad excuse of a son but worse of all a cold hearted dead beat dad. 

EPHESIANS  1:7 

 "In Him," that is, in Christ, "we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses according to the riches of His 

grace which He lavished on us"
