It\u2019s not as though I enjoy telling a lie. I stayed very close to the truth for the first 17 years of my life, but broke away from living the truth in the Navy. I used lies as a defense mechanism and a method to gain acceptance with others who lied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was in my early thirties when I realized that my life was a lie. I had become the person I never wanted to be. Something had to change and I knew it was me. I couldn\u2019t have done that without allowing God\u2019s WORD to dissect and mold me into the person He wants me to be. That process is ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I read the word of God, I take it very personal. I ABSORB IT, I APPLY IT and I am ACCOUNTABLE TO IT.
