The Great Shepherd

Why is the website here???
As I walked my personal and professional journey, I found myself feeling like I was losing
ground in regards to controlling my life, even though I continued to succeed and advance in
matters of family and career. Random thoughts and events caused me to consider some hard
questions that most of us might not ever ask ourselves. For example:

If you should die this very day, do you know where you would go?
*************************************************************************************
Have you ever felt alone even though you were in a crowd of people?
*************************************************************************************
Do you have a feeling of emptiness in your life that cannot be explained?
*************************************************************************************
Have you ever felt as if there should be something more in your life?
*************************************************************************************
Would you like to find peace in a world where those around you are constantly in a state of
anxiety?
IF YOU HAVE EVER PONDERED ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS READ ON!

For many people, it is only at the lowest points in their lives that they reach out for help and guidance. For some
people, it is only at their heights in life that they can truly see the landscape of their lives. You do not need to be
without possessions to feel broke. You do not need to be homeless to feel without shelter. You do not need to be
without money to feel insecure. For many years I walked in this life without a purpose. I had a wife and children, a
good job, a nice home and many material possessions, but I didn't have a feeling of value. I struggled to acquire
money, recognition and status. As I reached new professional heights, I felt less successful. One day at the
perceived peak of my professional career, I realized that for all that I had, I really had nothing.

My finances were a shell of over-extended credit, overwhelming debt and an ongoing struggle to juggle my funds
to appease my creditors. My possessions, from cars to collectables, filled garages and boxes in my house but did
nothing more than consume resources. My family smiled for photos, got together for holidays, sent cards for
birthdays and hugged when we got together, but there was an absence of warmth in our contact. Does any of this
ring true in your heart? If so, than perhaps you would like to find out how all of this can change.

In John Chapter 9, Jesus healed a blind man. Throughout this mans' walk after being healed, he was called upon to
tell people what happened. He told this story several times, and with each retelling, his story became more clear. At
first he only knew who healed him as a man named Jesus. At the second telling, the man referred to Jesus as a
prophet, (his esteem for Jesus was growing). When he was asked of who healed him the third time, he stated "If the
man were not of God, he could do nothing". That man acknowledged Jesus as the Son of God, and as he retold his
story, his faith grew.
