7May Our Incense Rise is a book born out of experience and understanding that our fellowship with God is proven in the incense we offer. The primary focus is relationship and a faithful commitment to worship. We offer the keys of how to stay committed to your relationship with Jesus Christ in the difficult times by giving examples of many saints endured the test of the times, and thereby obtaining a closer walk with God through the process. With an understanding that the pain and suffering God allows are necessary for spiritual growth and development in our quest for a transforming walk with Christ. So we invite you to come along with us on this journey through the metamorphosis of this life to someday fly away into heights to Gods eternal kingdom and palatial places on high. I was born in a small town called Chiefland Fl, and at the age of six we moved to Gainesville Fl, where we lived for the remainder of my childhood and teenage upbringing. The days seemed longer and we actually played outside all day long. While growing up I enjoyed playing football and basketball. I graduated from Buchholz High School in 1981 and served six years in the military, (1981-1987). I became a Christian in Okinawa Japan in 1982 and that is where my spiritual journey began. As a teenager I was inspired by my uncle to write poetry. I believe the gift has always been there, I just didn't have the audacity to believe I could appeal to such a vase audience. Writing this book was both a privilege and honour and I pray that your hearts will be blessed by it.
