I would like you to meet my very dear friend, Brother David McLeod, Solana Beach, San Diego California, SD, CA. (Thursday 4 September 1947 – Thursday 1 June 2006).

I met David on Friday September 3rd, 1993 at a campground in the Cuamaca Mountains in San Diego County California.

This was my families first time to join an annual celebration. The yearly event was always staged on Labor day weekend, and was a combined group of a homeschool group from Oceanside California and a small church just down the freeway in Solana Beach California. They had been doing this for many years.

We were new members of the homeschool group, so this was our first time to camp out together. At that time, in 1993, we had sons around 6 and 5, and daughters around 3 and 1.

David and I locked horns that first night and sat at the campfire until about 5 o’clock in the morning, the 4th of September.

He simply BLEW ME AWAY!!! He knew all of the exact same Bible verses as I knew, but he had a whole new way of viewing each and every one of them, which I had NEVER HEARD BEFORE.

He was challenging me in ways that I had never, ever even considered.

He had me hook, line and sinker!!!

For the next several years I became a Brain Tic on David McLeod. I just soaked up every single word that this guy said or sang. I loved him like my own brother. He was so full of amazing wisdom and guidance about the Bible, and Jesus, I just wanted to sponge off of of him and learn everything I could.

One of the great losses of our time happened on June 1, 2006. Dave passed, unexpectedly at the early age of only 58.

I am so thankful to Mrs. David McLeod, my friend Darlene, who has allowed me to post David’s seminal album here.

Dear Dave,

I’m still so bummed you had to leave this earth-plane so early.

I still miss you every, single day, bro, and wish you were here to answer my ever growing list of questions.

I am blessed to listen to your album daily – thank you again for your timeless gift – click this icon on your right, to listen

Play music!

I love you Dave.

I have also appropriated Dave’s article that he wrote about whether people burn in hell for ever and ever – Dear Lord forbid!! (as Dave introduced me to). His article has become one of the 57 Keys Unveiled. He originally named it ETERNAL HELL NO!! One of my favorite, short pieces, that he handed me.

Here in the Keys Unveiled, I have renamed them Eternal Torment In Hell Doctrine Is Demonic

Dave, ole buddy, I admit, I can wait to see you again…. But when we do meet again, it will be with the biggest hug I can even imagine.

Let me say it again – I love you Dave – forever!!

Blessings, to you and yours. Especially Mrs. David McLeod, my dear friend Darlene ~

Peace to you my brother from another mother (yes, your mother Evelyn, was pretty dang special, I love her like my own) ~
