My wife and I were married in that nice Catholic church in Redondo Beach California on a warm summer day in the year 2000.
It was a traditional service with a full blown mass. Friends read off scripture and we took communion. We lit candles and sat, kneeled and stood our way into holy matrimony.
After the wedding, we went back to our non-church going ways. We "believed" in God and Jesus and all the typical Christian things. We went to mass like any other good catolic... On Christmas and Easter.
We quickly found a house to purchase and moved from our rental to a small community about 50 miles east of Los Angeles.
I was assigned to a new unit at work where I met a person who would play a vital roll in my roller coaster ride through Christianity.
Dan, my superviosr, is a hardcore, devout, bible believeing, evangelical, christian. It's no exaggeration to compare him to the likes of Ned Flanders from the television cartoon The Simpsons.
He invited my now pregnant wife and I to his home.
This invitation would eventually change everything.
About Me
- Rob 13 Under The Gun
- I'm a married father of three. I work hard to provide for my family. Born and raised in the Los Angeles area, I've seen a lot of changes around here in my 37 years. I like write about life and things I enjoy. I'm hooked on the game of poker. I've become a student of the game. Even though I'm very new to the game and a complete donkey sometimes, I just can't get enough of it. I enjoy playing live and online, although I prefer live play hands down. Mostly low stakes No Limit Hold 'em, I've recently developed an interest in Omaha and Limit Hold 'em. The psycology tactics, and strategy of the game are what holds my interest the most. It's truly a thinking man's game. I love great music, cigars, good friends, the ocean, photography, jiu jitsu, and astronomy. This blog will contain random tid bits of my life and topics that I think people might enjoy discussing. Thanks for stopping by to read my rants. I'll see you on the felt, in the cigar lounge, on the mat, or at the beach!
