FAITH
I am a Christian. Everything else on this site flows from that.
For the last 30 years, I was searching for a deeper meaning in life. My work, my Aikido, my relationships were all great, and they were keeping me going, but I still felt something was missing, some void in my life.
About three years back, I had an encounter that filled this missing part of my life. I was touched by Jesus, and my life has never been the same.
This page is about the findings and meanings I discover every day in scripture and in my own conversations, and how the holy spirit moves me.
It is a reflection on the teachings of Jesus, scripture, transformation, alignment, forgiveness, and the inner journey of faith.
“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”
1 Corinthians 10:31
WHAT I BELIEVE
01 Jesus is Lord. Not a metaphor, not a useful framework. The risen Christ.
02 The Bible is where I go first, not last.
03 Work is worship when it is done with honesty and care for the people it touches.
04 Family comes before the company. The company comes before the calendar.
05 A leader’s job is to wash feet, not to be noticed.
