    Biography: Without God there is no Hope, Without Hope there is no Life.
    Without Life there is no Passion, Without Passion there is no Inspiration. Without Inspiration there is no Creation, Without Creation....There is
    Gen 1:2 And the earth was waste and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep: and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
