I am a person that believes in God the Father very much and all his teachings. I try to follow the Lord's guidance. Although I know I'm not perfect I do the best I know how. I joined the Beliefnet community because I see the common bond in wanting to be closer to the Lord.

 Oh and in case anyone is wondering, my profile picture is a poem called Dream of Truth, it says:

One night I went to sleep,

full of worry and concern

and as I lay sleeping a great

lesson did I learn.

In my dream I drifted

to a place far, far away...

where the savior had been taken

to spend his final day.

The crown of thorns brought anguish

as they placed it on his head...

I watched them nail him to the cross

where his precious blood was shed.

Despite his pain and sorrow-

these words he spoke to me,

Precious one, doubt not my love

and you shall be set free.
