Even though this site is very spiritually focused, I have absolutely no training in any ministry or any specific religious teachings other than having gone to parochial schools for most of my first twelve years of schooling – but I really can’t say that had much to do with any of this.  So most of what has been and continues to be developed in this web site is a result of experiences that I have had in my life, observations of the lives of others, and, what I like to believe is, some serious divine intervention.

When I look back at how I came to be in a place in my life where I would be working on a project like this, I have to admit, I don’t see any particular moment when something happened that made me feel compelled to have to do this.  Rather, it was a culmination of many factors coming together that led me to where I am now – writing this message about me to you.

I am an accountant.  Not only have I been an accountant but I have been a frustrated writer.  I love to write and I think I do so fairly well.  But I never seemed to be able to come up with any ideas of what to write about that I thought others might find interesting enough to read.   

I continued looking for inspiration and ideas for something to write about.  Every time I sat down and started writing, I would read what I wrote and scrap what I was doing and begin searching for inspiration again.  It came to be that sometimes, when I was alone, I would ask God for some help finding the inspiration I was looking for.  And it seemed that an answer never came.

That was until one day about two years ago.

One very early morning something woke me.  And when I awoke, I remember feeling this great urge to grab a pen and paper and start writing.  I had no idea what I was supposed to write about but, by chance, that night I had left a pad and pen next to my bed – something I had never really ever done before.  The only light that was coming in the room at the time was whatever light the moon was able to reflect through my windows.  As I sat in near darkness, I started to write.  And I wrote…and wrote.  I have no idea how long I wrote for but it was still dark when I completely filled up a legal pad of paper and finished writing.  I then fell back asleep.

When I woke, I grabbed the legal pad and started to read what I had written.  What unfolded was a wonderful philosophical and motivational story that, to this day, I can’t really remember writing nor do I know where the words and ideas came from.  When I tell people my experience, everyone has a different opinion of what might have occurred.  Maybe it was my subconscious putting together all of my past experiences into a story.  Maybe it was an angel writing through me.  I could go on for a while with the ideas people have given me about their perception of what happened.  What do I think happened?  I think God filled me with inspiration and ideas.  

This was, by no means that last time that I would have this experience.  It would begin to occur more and more often and in places other than while I was lying in bed.  I would write, type, dictate, and make notes constantly.  I would be sitting at my desk, driving my car, taking a shower…  And the writings and ideas evolved.  They moved on from that first book about our lives and the time we have to live them to being more spiritual in nature.  I started working on a second book and then a third.  And one night I woke up in the middle of the night and felt I had to go sit at my computer.  I don’t know if I ever turned on a light at my desk – which in and of itself was unusual because I still need to look at the computer keyboard in order to type.  And, in the dark, I started to type.  After typing for a while, I got up and went back to sleep – again not really being aware of what I had spent the time typing.

In the morning I got up and went to my computer and started to read what I had written.  What unfolded was a wonderful conversation.  It was a conversation with God.  It turned into a question and answer session with God helping me with some quite unsettling issues I was having at that time in my life.  And I can’t tell you how freeing it was to read the advice that was given to me in those writings.

So now let’s fast-forward about a year and a half.  I have two books under my belt – neither of which has been published.  In fact, I never even approached an agent or a publisher because I never thought one would take me seriously.  At this point I was beginning to get a little frustrated because I was having trouble figuring out what my next step was going to be.  That is until one night at about three o’clock in the morning when I was awoken again.

I do know a considerable amount about the internet and without getting into too much detail here, suffice it to say that buying a good internet web site name is virtually impossible these days.  Almost everything that you can think of (without making something up) is taken.  But that morning I was being told that I needed to go buy a couple of web site names.  I had the specific names in mind and they were pretty good names.  So I skeptically went to my computer, sat down, and started typing in the names I felt I needed to buy.  To my amazement, each of the five names I had in mind was available and I bought them.  One of them was TheWhisperofGod.com.  Who would have ever thought that this name would have been available.  And I can’t tell you the odds of all five being available.

Over the next few weeks I wondered what I was supposed to do with TheWhisperofGod.com.  And one day it came to me:  I needed to develop a forum for people to discuss creating, developing, and exploring their relationship with God.

And I did.

And here you and I are.

Every day I am amazed at what this has developed into and the potential that this forum has for changing people’s lives.  What can be more special than to have a relationship with God that gives us the desire to create a better life for ourselves, become better people, and be more loving towards and supportive of those around us.

This forum is not here to tell you who or what God is or what your relationship with God should be.  These are matters of personal belief.  However, we are here to encourage you to have a relationship with God, read how others have a relationship with God, and we hope that you will share with us the relationship that you have developed with God and how it came to be.
