Adrian Richard McGinnis
My main focus in life has been, and always will be proclaiming the word of God and my dauntless love for the Lord Jesus Christ. This includes telling all people I come into contact with about the good news of saving people from eternal damnation by confessing their sins and acknowledging that Jesus Christ is the Savior. I am drawn to and influenced by death, but the end of life neither offends me, nor draws me into the depths of the other side, all because of my faith and knowledge of what I know and expect.
