Progressively, the behavior of people explode reason,
                              exposes depravity, and reveals humanity inhuman.
                            A growing populace void of civility contravenes logic,
                               and that is why I am compelled to write about it.

                                        Author's Bio      

    My first real job, after serving with CID [Army Criminal Investigation Division], was architectural detail drafting. There I encountered a fundamental truth valuable to my life’s journey: foundations, long buried, are often overlooked, causing system failures. For numerous reasons I soon  moved on and joined the Cincinnati Police Division immediately discovering the “street cops” work did not fit preconceptions. While pursuing the policing career, I attended the University of Cincinnati, obtaining a Bachelor Degree. I was fascinated by psychology, social customs, criminology, and specifically the “Etiology of Anti-Social Behaviors”; a study in the origin of crime. It quickly became obvious no one knew why crime existed, how to control it, or how to rehabilitate criminals. Yet, to me, it was undeniable: if crime has a cause, it has a cure.

 
    After ten years patrolling the streets, I made Sergeant. After decades of reacting to crime, and contemplating the little difference and lack of headway law enforcement made, I laid down the badge and picked up a Bible. A new direction meant training, and I completed a Bible Diploma from Liberty Bible Institute, began to pursue a Master of Divinity with Luther Rice Seminary.    I have served as Pastor of two churches {Kentucky and Ohio], worked in several churches administratively, and presently am involved in small church building in Florida.
 
    Combining the many years of policing with philosophies/theology encountered in church work has brought a lifelong quest in reach. To wit; understanding a viable answer to the question of criminal; behavior. It is based in 'foundations long buried', an obvious cure. Unfortunately, as children with castor oil, the masses perceive it as a nasty tonic and avoid it. This cure is a common thread in the Pig's Eye Trilogy.                      

  Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise making the most of your time, because the days are evil.  ^{[1]
