I have been asked why I write. First off I write as it is in my God given purpose. Second, it brings me joy and releases everything I have experienced into something I can deal with. Third, it is the communication form I am most comfortable with. Last, it is something physical to pass. Let me expand on each of those. First I believe we all have a God given purpose. At least one, maybe more. I also believe that our purpose is to be used to glorify God. Aligning ourselves into
