A book of poetry filled with simple observations of the world around me as well as complex feelings of love and life. I enjoy everything from looking at Grass, or a field of Daises, to a Wedding dress hanging in a window. My poems are written from the perspective of someone whose life was almost lost multiple times. Undergoing five heart surgeries by the age of ten, the next heartbeat was not promised, much less another day or year. Each birthday is a gift. I'm usually quiet but always curious about how things affect my world. I am always grateful for life and the things that fill my life.I've always been involved in theater and all aspects of performing arts. I received my bachelors in Theatre Arts from University of West Florida in Pensacola, FL and had a great time living a dream in the arts all through college. I still attend and support our local community theaters. I still live in FL with my family. My mother's a Cardiology Nurse Practitioner. My father's a Retired Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel. My sister's an elementary school teacher. I have 2 spoiled dogs and a cat who thinks he pays the mortgage because he runs the place.I walk daily. I love trees. I love stopping and talking with the neighbors. I love all kinds of movies and books. You can usually find me at the bookstore hanging out or playing a game of chess on a Sunday afternoon.

-- "David Sanford teases out the Jesus stories to help us see who Jesus is... Every one of the short chapters are thought- and life-provoking." -Gerry Breshears, Ph.D., Western Seminary, Portland, Oregon -- "Wow I absolutely love this book. It is fresh, poignant, alive. The writing style is free and unchecked-easy to read-the chapters have a rhythm, a pulse, a wonderful irreverence... His words have integrity and authenticity. It is fun. It seems to me to be a whole new style of writing about the Bible." -Bill Senyard, President of Gospel-App Ministries and Author of Take Heart: Conversations About Life, www.gospel-app.com -- "I've just finished Loving Your Neighbor and my jaw is still dropped. What is this-a liturgy? A devotional? A kick-in-the-pants? A heart-rending collection of change-your-life Scriptures and stories? All of this And it does indeed surprise Which is just what is needed for all of us who think we already know how to love our neighbor." -Leslie Leyland Fields, Speaker and Author of Crossing the Waters, Winner of Christianity Today's 2017 Book Award (Christian Living / Discipleship), www.leslieleylandfields.com -- "Terrific David surprises, enlightens, incites. Once I started this book, I couldn't put it down. And once I read it, I couldn't forget it. Jesus will never look the same." -Dr. Steve Stephens, Portland Psychologist, Speaker, and Best-Selling Author, www.drstevestephens.com --
