Really? Do you really care where I am from? Would you like to know where I grew up or where I went to school? The question you should be asking, the question that keeps me up at night is why me? Why does a book like Talk To God crawl out of my soul, pump through my heart, get seasoned in my mind and poured out on those pages. I can’t figure out why. Why me? I never was religious. I went to church, more like physically forced to go, every week. Hell, I was even an altar boy and little stuck.

Like most teens or young adults who were crowbarred into church week after week, as soon as I had a chance not to go, I didn’t.

Like most teens or young adults who were crowbarred into church week after week, as soon as I had a chance not to go, I didn’t. I drifted away forgoing Sunday mass for hangover brunches with college cohorts who put all things spiritual neatly ensconced in a gray matter shoe box until their mom gets terminal cancer or a brother gets their ticket punched on the interstate. All of a sudden God is there, hands are being held and everyone is saying prayers. Still, as the skies cleared and summer-hot sun seemed to boil the freshly fallen rain water on the sidewalks at graduation in East Lansing, I had no passion, no gravitas or writing degree to write Talk To God.

Marriage, new babies, baptisms means getting back to church. Three boys, my holy trinity, and those toddler to pre-teen days are the best days a dad has raising boys. And I love raising boys. That kid sweat, mixed with the garage floor dust, rubbed across their brow, reminds me of little war painted Indian Chiefs with Twizzler breath and a smile that reminds me that everything is going to be alright in the world. That unconditional love in their eyes, God was in them and I wanted them to know God. I wanted them to know there was a bigger daddy watching us and when Grandma died she went to a better place than her house.

But what God, my religious God, the God that came with guilt, suffering, penance and dark messages in Latin, the God that was not in the room throughout my childhood beatings? Will my God make them better men? The mirror answered that question.

It started with long winded, crushing, opinions at dinner parties that frightened all the devoted, the pedophilia law suits sickening me with every faceless, child-victim that I supplant my son’s faces to. This isn’t The God I wanted my children to know or any child in the world. There has to be a better God.

I became vexed, uneasy about faith. My idle time was consumed with the question; who is my God and what would I say if I had a chance to talk to him. And then it happened. With little formal training and less ability, the story spewed from my mind, through my fingertips, filling page after page. Possessed? Directed? Was this Divine? F$ if I know. I could barely write a proper paragraph before much less a book about the real God. But within a few months 92,000 words sit in front of me, editors and publishers oohing and ahhing over the “book that will change the world”, a book from God. The book we all hoped it would be like. The book we could share with our children.

My biography? Really? Do you really care who brought you the message? I am a man, a regular man, with a passion for sports, Dave Mathews, AC DC, Absolut vodka and cold beer. I am a working dad with kids, family, and bills to pay, just like you. I am just the guy in line behind you at the grocer. I am just the guy sitting next to you at a ball game with my kids. Was I asked by God to write Talk To God? You will have to decide. The question that still haunts me, as the next offering spills out on pages in front of me, is why does this book crawl out of my soul? Why me?

“Talk To God Ch 13 p. 90: No it doesn't have to be a prayer. It could be someone just concentrating extremely hard, wishing or hoping that will create "the vibe" if they are so moved. And that vibe, as you will learn, becomes extremely powerful beyond earth. That vibe drives the universe. But don't confuse this. Forget about prayers. You don't need to pray to communicate with others. That's a religious definition, not a human or a God thing. When you are concentrating on your wishes, focusing on something you desire or wish to share, your soul and spirit are reaching out to all other humans near you, using your brain as the communicator and returning the support to you. If people near you are aware and are moved to respond, they will. And that response is a powerful, electric, spirited response that carries with it the ability to give that person the supporting power, the strength and the ability to assist them in doing whatever it is they desire. And what all humans desire, and the energy that is exchanged with one another, in human terms, is love.”
