Inspiration

I have been a full time minister with special interest in Old testament character studies. My inspiration comes from the interesting and amazing things that these characters have done. The Samson Effect for example, derives from wondering what would happen if there was a secret that the biblical Samson had that gave him his strength- a secret that would give anyone the same strength.
