Kirk was not raised in a church-going home and describes himself as an atheist from a very young age. But that all changed one afternoon as he sat in his sports car pondering the first Gospel message he had ever heard.

The purpose of this site is to present the wonderful gospel truth that there is one true and living God to whom all men are accountable and who has provided a means of redemption and salvation for fallen mankind.

The first Weight Watchers meetings were held over a pizza shop. The owner couldn’t figure out why the hundreds of people lining up outside never bought anything. Nidetch worked with him to create a Weight Watchers milkshake that became a bestseller.

I was born in Northwestern Pennsylvania and lived in a trailer park. I was raised by very conservative and religious (Wesleyan Methodist) parents. By some miracle I graduated college and moved to Florida. I have been a public school teacher since 1995. I have 7 years until I can retire. I was married in 1999 and divorced in 2001. I remarried in 2017 to Kate - 21 years my junior. Some of my life experiences as a 46-year-old, white American male, will come through in my writing, but the majority of this daily journey will be dedicated to improving myself, and hopefully you as well.
