My Name is David Cole

The book that you are holding in your hands is about a man named David Cole. David is not a real person and this is not a true story, but like any author’s story it’s laced with pieces of my life and of other people that have been a part of my life. I have hesitated to write this book over the years, but parts of it have made it out in stops and starts. This is because people may or may not like David Cole and what he has to say about life. So I thought it best, without ruining his tale for you, to tell you a little bit about David. If you want to continue reading after this, that would be great. If you don’t, then thanks for giving me a moment of your time.David Cole hasn’t led an easy life, but he hasn’t led a hard one compared to some people either. He’s been through abuse, including some that was self-inflicted. He’s been betrayed. He’s been abandoned. He’s been cheated on. He’s lied. He’s stolen. He’s even betrayed the people that have loved him. He’s also experienced deep and passionate love, had many friends, been very successful, and from what people tell him, he’s touched many lives. David has never been able to find a church or a belief system where he fits in. That’s because even though David is a Christian, he thinks that when we all get to heaven God is going to tell us that we got it all wrong. The Muslims weren’t right, the Jews weren’t right, the Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, and others weren’t right. They were all right. God manifested himself to different people and cultures in different ways; and we went and screwed it all up by dividing the hu-man race into religions, political views, sexual orientations and any other uncommon ground we could find. David believes that everyone is truly equal, which may sound utopian or even naïve, but that is how he has tried to live his life. He also believes that no matter how people try and put each other down for their beliefs, their actions, or their sexual orientations, only God can see into your heart. Only he or she can judge you. Therein lies David’s biggest problem. David has been carrying a secret for most of his life, and it’s about to tear him apart.David’s journey is one of pain and anguish, but ultimately, one of faith, hope and miracles.
