My name is Eddie van Aken, and I live in southern Kentucky. The reason I am writing here is that I wanted to share my journey through life, especially my faith, health, and life in general.
Where I Came From
I was born in the Netherlands in 1955. After working for many years, I decided to move to America. That sounds easy, but it was a long road to get here; more about that later.
My Journey With Faith
Although I was raised in a Christian family and visited a Christian elementary school, I abandoned, but never totally lost, my faith when I was around 17 or 18.
Why Health Became Important to
I always thought that I lived a fairly healthy life and ate food that was good for me. Later, I discovered that the food pyramid I always believed in was not good for my health.
Why I Started A Faithful Life
The reason I started the A Faithful Life website is that I wanted to start documenting the changes I made, and am still making, after having to deal with some health issues.
The second reason, or maybe this should be the first one, is that I am on a spiritual path to deepen my religious beliefs.
So, what better way to do that as a retired web designer than to do it online and on a website?
To be totally honest, I don’t even worry if no one ever reads my ramblings here. But if someone does and wants to contact me, that is something I look forward to.
Eddie van Aken
I am Eddie van Aken. I’m still learning about faith, health, family, purpose, and life itself.
A Faithful Life is where I share some of those lessons, experiences, and questions as I continue my journey.
