From Sores To Pain

In 2018, I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis and was forced to retire from a 30+ year combined career in security corrections and law enforcement. I have had psoriasis most of my life, and when I started experiencing both, it caused major trauma to my bones and joints.

I am now physically disabled and on SSDI, but I never gave up. I struggled and waited and now I am an artist/writer/author despite my physical limitations. I chose to put God first in my life, and despite what I go through, God's grace is sufficient for me.
