Isn’t everything?

Kidding.

My name is Keith Troop.  I was born in S. Florida and I don’t like to talk about myself.

Okay, fine.  I’m a published poet and I’ve had the occasional inspirational article published.  I’ve written a ton of other things, but they haven’t been published yet.  I gave my heart to Jesus when I was four and I have been trying to get it back from Him ever since, though it appears He has no intention of letting go.

I am a vast repository of knowledge concerning how not to do things in life and how God fixes things in spite of our best efforts.  A lot of that will come out here.

I’m half Jewish, but it’s on my father’s side, so it only counts during persecutions and the first part of Chanukah. I refer to this condition as being a Semi-Semite.  There are many of us and we are uniting, we just don’t know what for.

I am an only child although I was raised by my grandmother so I’m also the youngest of seven children.  One of which was my mother.  Now you know why I don’t like to talk about myself. It’s confusing even to me and I lived it.

Fortunately, I can clarify with this statement.  I am a chosen child of a living God, loved from before the beginning of time and called to be both His and a part of Him simultaneously.  I probably should have led with that.
