Bivocational...accountant, jail and rescue mission ministry, band of brothers. Sailing, hunting, and running off with my wife! are my fun things.

Things changed forever on Aug. 26, 2011 when our 19 1/2 year old son, Ben, took his own life. We don't know why, we don't get to know that. We get to hang onto God like never before. More in my blog noted below beginning Sep 11 and after...

I'm right on my 30th anniversary as a believer. Celebrate, right? Well, not if I told you that 22 of those years I remained in bondage, trapped in a basement with a monster that I couldn't kill and who wouldn't leave. And it nearly destroyed me. It robbed me of belief in the power of God, in the belief that He cares, or loves, or has much of anything in store for me.

Then two people, one who is prominent here, and my twin brother who's more handsome, came into my cyberlife, and began to speak words to me that no one else has ever said. They told me that I didn't understand who I was, what Jesus really did, that the monster was already dead. Over time, I began to believe them, the fog of the enemy began to lift. At a Bootcamp in Jasper, GA, Father came. He told me He loved me NO MATTER WHAT (yes, in spite of the basement) and gave me a new name, confirmed by two others. For an accountant, spooky stuff, but the very stuff that my heart and spirit so longed to hear and know.

And that day, I was freed. I was restored. And I am not the same man I was. Now, I long for one thing: To lead others to freedom, healing, and restoration. The enemy has been far too successful because too many of us have not experienced this, nor told others that when Jesus said He came to give life abundantly!, He wasn't kidding around.

That's what I fight for.

Had frankly forgotten about this page with the death of the RH forum. Don't know how many still hang here, but I've started a real new blog that I hope you find encouraging on my perspectives on God's heart and our journey. zorrounchained/blogspot.com

See ya there.

The Father's Heart

If it says The Parable of the Prodigal Son in your Bible's subtitles, feel free to scratch that out, since that's not the inerrant Word of God part! This story is NOT about the wayward, rebellious son, but rather, about a generous Father in the face of that son. Everyone knows the story in Luke 15, and we've read it and had it preached so many times that most of you have already stopped reading....



Yet, the Word is Alive! And God impressed on me recently something that I'd not seen… Continue

Fathers...where did we go and how did we get HERE?

Posted on July 11, 2009 at 10:39pm 1 Comment

Good seminar today for jail volunteers, and the topic was on Fatherhood, generally...and the tragedy that is our prison society today, who had no fathers at home, and whose own kids are following in dad's footsteps by going to prison themselves. How to break that cycle? How to get the generally irresponsible behind bars to desire responsibility? The only motivation that seems to work is to appeal to them about their kids.



How did we get here? Absent fathers, even in Christian homes?… Continue

The Descent...and the Ascension! God showing me where it all went wrong.....

Posted on July 5, 2009 at 3:00pm 1 Comment

The past couple months have been painful, missing His presence and the joy that has been my companion the past three years. The siren call of lust was audible again...and I kept wondering where it all went wrong. I could actually pinpoint the week...but not the event/cause. Until last night, when Father brought to my mind a book that I'd read, half of which I enjoyed immensely and the other half which I rather hated. The half (and this is a popular book, which I'll refrain from publicly… Continue

The Doldrums--the best way to describe what I'm feeling of late...trying to find the wind again........

Posted on June 30, 2009 at 2:14pm 0 Comments

Sailing, full on,

Fair winds, making way,

The tiller sure and solid.



And then...the wind is gone,

The sails hang limp,

The tiller is dead and lifeless...



Oh, how I remember,

Oh, how I yearn for fresh wind!

For the wind on my face.



All that I can do is wait.........

There is no way to move,

And no where else to go.



I must stay alert, ready, expectant.

Wind will come again,

And I must not abandon… Continue

A Pack fan in the flat lands? Wow, you are one courageous hombre!! The world just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser; I suppose next I'll be told that we'll be seeing #4 on a purple jersey.....

Hey Zorro. I just noticed in browsing around this site that you seem to be on here a lot. I noticed your comment to the young man with ADHD a few weeks back, and I've been noticing that you really seem to have a lot of great insights into a lot of stuff, and bring to bear a really spiritual outlook on a lot of issues. You also seem to have a gift for encouragement - I see you doing that a lot - keep up the good work!

Thank you for your prayers Zorro they are very much appreciated. Only this morning I have found myself challenged financially which has put me on my back foot again. I need allies for the long hard journey ahead. So many people are dead around me and can not offer the spiritual support or understanding I need (and we all need)
I bless you for your kindness and support.
Many years ago I believed God called me to set up a ministry here in the UK to mirror the work of Ransomed Heart called Freedom of Heart Ministries; this is when the attack began. I so wish to see this through. My calling is to set hearts free, not to save the lost but restore what has been taken away. The HEART IS CENTRAL

Please, please, please keep praying for me as I make my way to whole heartedness and the purpose the Father has for Me

Yours in Christ
