¿ Keith?

Hi my name is Keith.


I’m 23.


I live in Brantford Ontario 550 meters from the exact spot I was born.














I grew up here















I went to school here,















this is where I learned to drive a screw,















and shoot an arrow.















My family











and friends are here.



I trained for trades,















and filled my brains nearby.
















I am white,
















healthy,










and advantaged in every way. But these things don’t define me.



Increasingly my existence is qualified by a mysterious connection of my heart to a supernatural entity that is forever outside of my comprehension and that I fumble to describe. I’ve never seen it and can’t explain it, but it exerts incredible force on a part of me, and in a way which, I don’t understand. But there is intelligence and compassion in it: life. . . personality. It has gained my trust and won my love, even returning it a thousand-fold. It has shown me truth and revealed His face.


This









Is the one I will follow through the storm, to the nations and to the grave. For He is worthy.

I almost said "good luck" but that would be silly since luck will not be involved. I wish I could go with you on this wild adventure but then it would not be Keith's great adventure - so I will back you up from here.
