Wow Spencer, I was glad to find another blogger, and brother in Christ, and read your bio on your blog. I can imagine what your mom and dad went through but I'm sure they feel now it was all worth it. You've become an exceptional individual. We have a lot in common: BA in Psych (U of Wash.), Certified TESOL teacher, with intent to be self-supporting or at least gain entrance into some countries as a missionary, including the Middle East, but mainly Montenegro (long story there), worked as a counselor at a boy's home for juvenile delinquents, I've been self-employed most of my adult life for many of the same reasons you got out of being employed, your statement "The world is so corrupt, that unless you follow along and toe the line you will stick out and get stepped on," certainly resonates but because of entirely different life experiences, including some in church, and I wouldn't be surprised if your book on deception doesn't have some application in the church world. Also, I built a few websites and did some SEO professionally.

So here we are on steemit, you're a couple months ahead and higher up the learning curve, and it would be cool if we could have some interaction if you think you've got this thing figured out. I almost bailed out because after learning what I have learned I can see it ain't what it's advertised to be, and I could see quite a few people getting burned so I'm reluctant to drag anyone else into it like the many thinkers and authors I know on Facebook. What's your take on all that?

Anyway, glad to have found you here @spencercoffman (and glad you use your real name) and hope to get to know you better.

God bless.
