About Me
- Ricky...
- Credo: I want to be known as a gracious, authentic, biblical Christian—infused with godly and empathetic wisdom; as well as becoming a growing Christian mystic, exercised through a primarily intuitive nature; who is completely unafraid to take the inner walk both within myself, as well as within my brother, and as a result becoming transformed over into the image of Christ—fully restored in my relationship with Christ, within myself, between others and within the Created order.
