After about 37 years in Texas I have recently moved with my family to Panama. I am a Christian who enjoys family, friends, adventure, history, motorcycles (check out my Ducati), old cars, travel, weight training, architecture and design.
I’m a military veteran, educated and trained as an architect and engineer
In many of my endeavors I seek to improve things, or take something that is old and forgotten and give it a new life as something even greater than before. I usually have multiple projects running at the same time. I have renovated houses, restored cars and motorcycles, trained my body, and renewed my mind.

Over the last 10 years I have come to believe many of the institutions I was taught to trust and believe in shouldn’t necessarily be trusted. Much of the history and news that I consumed was distorted, one sided, propaganda, or outright lies. Much of science is mere theories of men, not truth, even when it is presented as such. I have gotten over the initial shock of these revelations, but it took years to process.
Often it is difficult to sort out fact from fiction in this mixed up world, so I hold to the Bible and Jesus Christ as the only source of truth and filter everything else through that lens.

Thank you for reading and have a great day.
Read the Bible, trust in Jesus

Thanks @em3. I've been trying to post every day but today was too busy, lots of work and things that need attention here in Panama. That Mustang I sold before moving, but I have another I still need to sell in Texas.
Hi , welcome to steem , goodluck with everything,lets work together. Follow me back .
Thanks, I followed you back.
(whispering.... you don't have to follow ppl just cause they followed or say they followed you. Check them out first and see if they are writing anything that interests you. Many "Follow for follow" or "follow mes" never look at your blog again.... They think followers are magical and just because following they will upvote all your/their posts.... It just ISN't possible.
Peace
Good tip, thanks.
