A Pearl of Great Price...Finding The Truth About life

We have been lied to!
I am a 71 year old recovering Hippie of the 1960"'s" so NO long hair and Old clothes and Tied dyed t shirts are not something new! I was an "Original Hippie"...Living a "Rock Star life" Peace, Love, Drugs, Alcohol, Illicit behavior!!!
I want to share with you my journey... I am here at 71 and 1/2 years old many of my childhood friends didn't make to 25, some less than that...But We all had one thing in common, we were looking for something, but we really didn't know what we were looking for... but we knew that alcohol and drugs, partying ( Our term not yours)...seemed to make life easier and more tolerable...Some had comfortable lives with well to do parents others not so much...but it didn't matter we were all looking for something that gave us... meaning... purpose.

I think... what it was, looking back...We were looking for understanding, purpose for living...and deeper...
we were looking to be loved and accepted in that dysfunctional time of life.
I saw the life style of hedonism took its tole...Friends incarcerated and dying from overdose, accidents even suicides.... the false sense of happiness fulfillment lost its luster,, (Wasn't cool anymore)...

So back to square one! If living for pleasure alone want working and led to a dead end street, what was the answer?

The Obvious! God...a creator and designer, but what plan and what design did he have for a guy like me and my generation?

I will share with you parts of my journey as we go along...but will also share with you "The pearl of Great price"...The Treasure!
I found the meaning an purpose of life but it took several steps and event for that door to open and unlock itself.
I'm sure you have figured out by now...I'm a Born again Christian... But PLEASE don't let that scare you away...

I know some Christians are hypocrites and many times no better than the lost world. ( Those that don't know God).
So if you will stick with me I plan with the Lords Help to go above the Rhetoric, stereotypes and hype peel back the banana and show you share with you my journey that has led me to God, Peace, Purpose and Gods Unconditional Love.

Now if your still with me...
Lets begin...

God Bless you
