God Bless America

Several years ago, when I worked for an international non-profit, I traveled around the world as an observer and reporter. Those experiences helped me understand how the culture we grow up in affects the way we see the world.

I have also worked for senior living communities—not only as a writer, but also as a CNA. Those experiences helped me understand the values and ethics of The Greatest Generation.

And I am a Christian, so as much as I appreciate living in the United States of America, I understand that my true citizenship is in heaven.

All those experiences inform my writing about America, as you’ll see in these posts:
